Hello, does anyone know why this would happen to my Aglonema? it was fine before I watered it but after watering it, the leaf became wet and translucent and smells really bad.

I just took off the bottom of my self watering plant and all the grooves were clogged with these weird Round things. Does anyone know what this is!? It’s not on any of my other pots that are this exact one.

I have just one leaf that is yellow on my dieffenbachia. Roots are white and look healthy, the pot has drainage and I fertilize about once a month. Is this a bad sign or should I not worry about it since it’s just one leaf? It produced a new leaf a few weeks ago… the plant appears to be healthy. Leave the yellow leaf or cut?

Are these springtails?? They are all over the soil of my verrucosum. None on the leaves. They’re pretty fast so hard to get a good picture.

My fiddle fig started growing like crazy this spring after moving it to a different room with more light! It has windows facing East and South/South West, and gets sun all day. The top half of the plant recently started bending over, and it dropped a few lower leaves. I noticed the bottom half of the trunk is brown (as are the stems to the leaves) and the top trunk/stems are green. Any idea what is going on / how to fix it?

I got this African violet for $2 at the grocery store and I’ve been trying to nurse it back. I got it last week and repotted it when I got it home. Any suggestions on how I can give her a full comeback?

This plant I was gifted is facing a west window. It gets light mostly from the the very top window. Is this enough you think or front branch will die?

I got this Silver Fittonia a few months back and I’m noticing these little white “web” type things. Does anyone what these are and how to treat them? Thanks!

I’m new to raising plants, and I just picked up 3 new plants from a nursery today. I’ve noticed some tiny bugs on them, and some small cobwebs (not a lot). There was a little spider hanging off one plant which I killed and on another plant I saw a tiny bug but couldn’t make out if it was a spider, it was way smaller than the spider on the other plant. Any idea which kind of pest these are? Or are they two different pests? How should I quarantine them or treat them?

Look at this poor guy. The 3rd leaf is new, I just started a pebble tray for humidity. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi!! My monstera has these little bugs on almost all of its leaves and I’m not entirely sure how to treat them, they come back every time I wash the leaves and also go along the stems. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi everyone, could you please help me understand what these marks (kinda like stretch marks) are on my Chinese evergreen? I tried googling but couldn’t get an answer sadly
