Bean Dip

Omg heeellllpppp. The owner of my local plant shop gifted me a cutting from this beautiful looking glass begonia. The mother plant has survived in a small glass vase for roughly 15 years, completely happy and healthy to the point where the owner didn’t even want to repot her. I put this clipping in a bowl of leca, haven’t done anything else to her. She’s under artificial light just like she was in the shop. What can I do to help her???? I’ll die if she dies.

Hey all. Has anyone (in Canada) ever used Safers 3 in 1 successfully for thrips on a miniature umbrella tree? These thrips are so small that they are hard to distinguish between bug and dirt. The leaves are still wonky though and it’s not growing much.

I’m really struggling with my Zebra plant. Got it 10 months ago and was full of leaves with its yellow flower in bloom. Ever since, the leaves have been wilting, falling off and the new growth is weak. It’s in a 60% humidity zone, partial light and I follow the Planta watering schedule. I’ve replanted it from it’s nursing pot about 6 months ago as well. It also has drainage and I water it from the bottom once every 2 times. I’ve tried Dr Planta with no real results. Can someone help me out?

I just transplanted brussel sprouts from an aerogarden 6pod unit to a raised garden bed. The leaves turned soft as silk and one dried out complete. What am i doing wrong? Its watered everyday moderate amounts to keep soil moist. Been 4-5 days since transplanting. Does it need fertilizer?

Princeton Greene still turning brown and yellow in some parts and I do now mist him bcuz he want to grow flowers but they turn yellowish idk what to so I mist him to help stop the yellowing and brown I’m airing out the dirt he is in bcuz I just watered him maybe that but still the rates of him Turing brown have slowed down by alottt ? Maybe he needed watered? I’m not so sure what to do I’m thinking taking him back to the place where I got him to see what they say bcuz I know succulents need water but not gallons of it or maybe he need bigger pot ? Or too much light he gets used to sunlight from the sun but he gets uv sun light purple I want him to go into hibernation or kinda slow down his yellowing and black leaves

Why is the new growth curling? My dear Pilea’s new growth is curling up and I don’t know why. The leaves are very healthy but are just not opening up flat. I can’t think of what would cause this, any ideas?

ADVICE needed! Pilea Peperomioides Friendship Plant ~ Leaf Damage ~ I’m very new to plants and recently brought home my first two Friendship plants. They were in small Terracotta pots and needed a new home so I transplanted them a few days ago. The one I transplanted first is showing these strange, dark patches in the leaves. I’m thinking I was too rough trying to get the dirt out of their roots and didn’t take enough care to protect her leaves? I also sprayed her with All Seasons Horticultural Spray Oil- could that be the culprit? The directions only said spray all over- but didn’t specify anything about diluting so I figured I didn’t have to? My Money Plant was sprayed with the same thing and does not show these injuries. What do these discolorations on her leaves look like to you? Anything I can/should do? I transplanted the other Pilea today, did not mess with the roots much to try and get the old dirt off. I just moved it to the other pot trying to avoid being rough. I did not spray the oil onto it either for fear it was the reason the leaves are discolored. I want to learn from this while also trying to heal my new plant. I’ve not had her long, but the spots are new.

Battling a scale infestation on my Pyrrosia fern. I always thought that the scale was a single insect until I put it under my microscope. Apparently the adults become immobile and create this protective scale to lay their eggs under. The new generation hatches and leave when they are old enough to find their own location to become a “scale” and start the process again. I’m sorry for how gross this is 😂.

Does anyone know why my lavender's leaves are fanning out like this? For context, I just moved long distance and the plant hasn't gotten much light in the past week. (Also included a photo of the plant from a few weeks ago before I moved)

I didn’t know hibiscus was difficult to handle until I had already bought it. And it is proving true. I don’t know what’s going on. I have used insecticidal soap and neem oil not at the same time but I’ve tried each My other half is freaking out, thinking the plant has thrips. Thoughts? Return it? New leaves are yellow and there always appears to be some sort of dirt like substance on there but it does get windy here and using insecticidal soap and name oil does make things a little sticky Should I give up? Any advice? It gets full sun, I water it at least every other day because it does get kind of dry

Some of my fig tree’s leaves are browning and it has lost a few healthy looking leaves in the last 24 hours. Any idea what this is or what could be the issue? I repotted it in June to a bigger pot after I got it.

help! my elephant bush is losing its leaves and i’m not sure why. it started happening after i repotted it. the plant and leaves both look healthy to me but they keep falling off. i’m a beginner plant lover so please any suggestions would be great! i’m moving back to college tomorrow and i’m unsure if i should take it with me or if that would be too traumatic when it’s already doing bad (my mom would take care of it at home). thanks for any advice!!

What’s the reason why the leaves turn brown gradually from the relatively lower leaves? For the plant in first 2 pics (the zebra plant)I have avoided the AC or wind; watered when it’s almost dry ( almost dropping a little bit and then I watered) given it indirect sun lights like 3 hrs per day…..What is the problem and how can I stop it? It happened to my another plant as well. See the third pic. I tried to water when it’s completely dry but leaves’ edge turn brown and dry out especially after I water it gradually….

Is it thrips that cause little dark specks on leaves that looks like soil? Used magnifying glass, nothing moving. 🥲I just blasted it with insecticidal soap. My Finley girl for tax🥰
