The Hand (Opuntia Crest “Rollercoaster”) caught cooties from the dumb Golden Torch I took a chance on with a newish local shop. Honestly, the “pests, diseases and problems” part of this is another department, meaning I’m upstream in the development cycle with my soils and endless structural tweaks to habitats. This is still a pretty new operation. (I didn’t catch this happening because the hair and texture of the plant camouflaged it.) I started the cleanup process before, unfortunately, seeing the future of quarantine and how losing anything else was going to make yesterday’s bad day into a physical and mental disaster. Would you hardcore folks have tried to save it? Note that it’s only three inches tall. I really liked The Hand, but onward. Farewell little alien high five.

Can someone confirm or deny this is root rot. I moved it to a smaller pot because I haven’t been seeing much growth. If it is root rot, how can I save it?

Hello guys, so I just bought a Dwarf Ming Arelia and I’m getting yellow leaves any advice?

My Aloe has had spots like this lately. Anyone know what it could be? Still somewhat new to taking care of these

Hi everyone! This is my friends plant in her apartment! She has it currently placed in front of south facing windows. She’s not sure what’s wrong with it. Any suggestions?

Brown needles on Norfolk pine! I have 4 pines in this pot. I just started last summer - the pot is too large and the plants are planted way too deep. Despite this, 3 of them are doing well. Lil Timmy has some stunted growth and brown needles - I cut it’s brothers who were taking all his light and reduced watering. Any other suggestions?

I’ve been a plant parent for about 04 years now & for the first time I’m dealing with spider mites. I came back from a mini vacay & all three of my pothos that were hanging together were infected! Luckily my neon & golden weren’t too bad but these tiny little leaves are gonna be the death of me! Soap, neem oil & a good hose down. Debating on spraying with a bit of alcohol & water solution after all this just to add an extra umpff.

My beloved string of turtles is being taken over by aphids 😩 I’ve been waging war on them for going on two months, using a combination of diluted neem oil (full strength kills my plants) and physically plucking the buggers off my plant with tweezers. I was away for a week and they’ve come back with a vengeance, eating most new growth near the roots and causing bigger leaves to fall off. Does anyone have any tips for getting rid of these pests for good?

so ever since i got my marble queen i’ve had issues but the big one is no matter what almost every single leave is torn and idk why

Hi plant people! Any idea what would cause these spots on my ghost plant? It’s hard, not soft or fuzzy. It’s almost feels like a scar, but the plant hasn’t been damaged. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Help! I can’t keep parlor palms alive. My husband loves them so I keep trying but this thing is drying out like crazy!I put it outside for the summer and it did amazing. As soon as I brought it in, it started drying out. I’m watering it correctly. It’s in medium bright light away from a window but close to a grow light. The humidity in the house is great and last winter I literally had it a foot away from the humidifier and it was still doing this. It’s temporarily hanging out in the bathroom until I can figure it out. Any thoughts?

My monstera has been doing really well since I got her two months ago. She’s now growing her third new leaf but I see these spots on it. Does anyone know what this is?

Hoya unhappy! I recently repotted her from a terracotta pot that I placed in this hanging basket to see if she liked the location, and she did fine. After repotting, she’s struggling. The basket has a coco liner and soil, that’s it. Do I need something else to help retain moisture maybe? She gets morning light in this location.

Black spot on one of my monstera leaves , anybody got any idea why? and how i could get rid of it? many thanks

I just got myself a majesty palm from my local Home Depot, i know they’re absolute spider mite magnets. I believe she’s healthy right now and in quarantine for a week, but is there any advice y’all have to avoid spider mites?

Can someone help me figure out what this is? This leaf is just now opening and I see all these tiny spots. I have a fungus gnat issue I’m trying to battle, is this from them?
