It looks like black mold at the base of the Dracaena leaves. I’ve only had the plant for a month. Any ideas what this is? Thanks!

Any ideas if this could be a pest. I’ve looked at it under a magnifying glass, no head or legs visible, not moving. Could it just be a piece of moss or something I need to treat?

Is it normal for this dracaena to lose this much leaves? Never had this problem before, what do I do?

I found what looks like 2 single adult thrips on the underside of my Money Tree. I used my phone flash light and inspected closely. That’s all I could find. I immediately removed from the room and sprayed heavily with insecticidal soap. The plant is about 1-2 ft from other plants. All those plants have been treated with systemic granules and I haven’t noticed anything. I actually didn’t see much of physical damage to the money tree leaves or anything. How likely is it that I caught it at the very early start and what do I need to continue looking for?

What’s wrong

Anyone know why my flamingo is losing its red color on these two leaves. It just grew a new one around the time they started turning yellow. Is this normal progression or is this something wrong. I’ve only had it for a couple months but until now I’ve had no problems.

THRIPS!! Does any one have a sure-fire way to rid my monsterra of them for good? This guy was doing great, then all of a sudden those lil b@&tards come out of nowhere and decided to reek havoc on my plants. No new ones have been brought in, in quite some time! It seemed to be as soon as summer hit, there they were! I have been using we are the wild protect with Neem spray, seems to be helping, but is there something else I should do?!

This plant lost ALL of its golden leaves and most of its green leaves when I first got it but then came back 10 times more gorgeous!! Remember this plant is you feel like all of your color is gone! It always comes back 💛

Does anyone know what to do with this. I’ve sorted what caused it. But don’t know whether to leave it or prune it off. Any help please

Hi, I found that my Guiana Chestnut/money tree had a bunch of ants in the soil when I went to water it the other day. I sprayed it with a warm water, dish soap, and organic pest control spray that has peppermint oil, and submerged it in water to get the ants out, then repotted it. Today I came back to check and there are ants on it again, so I’ve put it outside then I’ll probably get rid of it. My problem now is that keep seeing some more ants crawling on my windowsill around my other plants and I’m worried they’re going to get into my other plants. I’ve read that they only go into plants if the plant is sick or has mildew or something, so I’m hoping they won’t go in my others if there’s nothing wrong with them? But Is there anything I should do to keep them out of the rest of my plants? And how do I know they’re not getting in my others now? Thanks for any help!

Ok so I have 5 mums and only one of them seems to be surviving repotting. Any ideas as to why? And can I still save them?

What is happening to my dieffenbachia? Only one leaf looks like this! This plant is 2ft from a window, gets watered, has drainage, and diluted fertilizer.

Hey Hey, This is my weeping fig plant that I got about 6 months back. But now, all the leaves dropped and it’s completely dryyyy. How do I mnow if it died or is there any possibility for me to recover my plant?

Does anyone else know what would cause my alocasia to get brown tips like these? I propagated them from corms. They’ve been in leca the whole time. Dr. Planta says lack of drainage. I only put a bit of water in the jar (see pic). Is it still too much water? I realize the leca is wet in the picture, I just watered it. The leca is usually pretty dry except at the bottom obviously. lol

I was wondering what’s going on with my plant

Hello! Please help! Why has my dracenea developed all of these yellow spots? She has been healthy for almost 2 years, and then we moved this summer and the yellow spots started appearing. I recently repotted to see if that would help (bigger pot, all fresh well-draining soil). Any advice would be very helpful!

Does anyone know why only a few leaves of my Kentia Palm have gone brown at the edges and the middle? A few more leaves have brown tips also. Have had for almost a year. Is situated under a window so no direct light on soil but some sunlight hits the leaves in the morning. Thank you! Issy

Someone please help with my caladium it has these brown splodges all over it. The smaller leaf is new and does not look healthy. There are 2 other new leaves unfurling that also don’t look great. And one of them has split several times whilst trying to open out. Please help. I’ve noticed a few thrips and been wiping them off but not loads

Hi, I believe my Lady plant is a fiddle fig - she is my first and only plant and I fear she is dying 😢 the info i find online is so overwhelming because I know absolutely nothing about plants. Can someone help me keep her alive? She leans hard so i have a loose ribbon holding her tall. Her stem used to be green now has browned, is this ok? Is she ok?
