I’m starting to notice bugs that are hiding in my plants soil, some look like this & other ones look like this but with a bigger body & smaller legs. I just watered my plants today, that’s why the soil is wet looking. I usually let them dry out a little bit before watering again. Any idea on what these bugs are? How can I naturally get rid of them? Moneys a little tight in my house.. They’re in my vegetable/herb plant soil, but none of my actual houseplants soil.

Hope philo browning tips: - lives next to a humidifier that constantly runs and under a grow light - I mist almost every other day with a capful of dr. Bronners soap to help mitigate fungus gnats - I feel confident in the watering schedule using a meter to only water when it hits the line between moist and dry (I do not let it dry out). - liquid fertilize once a month - soil does read high alkaline, wondering if that might be an issue? Otherwise I’m stumped. Had this guy for 9 months now and most new leaves look healthy. Spotted one small one with similar browning.

What is going on with my Alocasia Nebula? I’ve had it for a couple weeks now and it’s slowly started to look like this. I’ve only watered it once since I’ve had it and it’s kept near an east facing window that has a sheer curtain over it, in a room with a humidifier so it’s consistently got 50-70% humidity. Not sure what to do with this!

Need help with two very sad looking pothos - one marble queen and one neon. Not totally sure what happened but these two started getting really leggy and sad after I repotted them this spring. The neon one had root rot issues in the past from being grown in water so could’ve been that. Not sure about the marble queen, I think the pot might’ve been to big for it. I chopped and propped a lot of them in hopes that I could recover them and the neon pothos started regrowing some new leaves but they are much smaller. They both get plenty of morning light from an east facing window. Any recommendations on how I could make them look more full again and have them start producing bigger foliage?

Hi! I’ve had this polka dot plant for about a year and it’s always been pretty unhappy. I’ve changed the watering schedule a lot but that hasn’t really had an impact. Right now it’s watered every 10 days or so. It’s next to a west facing window so it gets direct sun for a few hours everyday. That part that gets the most seems to be the happiest. Could it be a light problem? I plan on repotting soon to see if that helps!

My olive tree is thriving but should i be pruning off the bare branches at all? This is my first attempt at this type of plant and I don’t want to ruin my progress so far

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. I got this neon philodendron a month ago.. she was a rescue and since then she has improved a lot! But today I notice this.. how can I fix it? Too much water? Not enough water? Humidity?

I was recently gifted this propagated snake plant, and it was given to me with the top like this. It doesn’t seem mushy, but I’m not sure what to do to fix this or if it means there’s other issues.

Please help! I was given this plant after I lost my baby girl at 38 weeks of pregnancy. I am feeling like a failure, I can’t even keep a plant alive! What do I need to do?

I’m relatively new to plant care, and I am currently trying to revive a cyclamen plant that was left at my office. I have switched to using water from our water cooler rather than tap water & moved her to a sunnier window. My question is, should she be repotted? The app says not to repot her, but the soil looks suspect to me and a little low. If she should be repotted is there a specific soil type I should use?
