I was fertilizing Benji when I saw a little bug on the bottom of the pot. I lost it so I wasn't able to get a photo of it. It kinda looked like a fruit fly, so it may just be that, but idrk, I've never had pests before so I'm not sure. Benji is one of my healthiest plants so I don't think it would be pests but just making sure. Help pls!

One of my ficus has had this since I got her about a year ago. It hasnāt sprouted any new leaves and I feel like itās because this little piece got stuck or never finished growing. Should I cut it off? Is there anything I can do for it? She otherwise very healthy, sheās been repotted (about 4 months ago?), and doesnāt show any signs of root rot.

Hi all! Iām having some issues with gnats from my plants when they get watered? Iāve opted to use watering bulbs and thatās reduced it a lot since the stop soil isnāt moist. But unsure how to completely get rid of it. Would I need to just repot with new soil?

Iāve seen these over the last few weeks in the soil of my Dieffenbachia. Iāve heard mixed responses as to what they may be (friend or foe) and recently Iāve noticed more of them, especially after watering. *they curl up when touched it that helps
Any idea what they may be?
Any solutions for getting rid of them?
Should I isolate this plant as to not infect my others?
Any help would be greatly appreciated š

My Kolanchoe hasnāt bloomed in 2 years, but leaves look great. I feed it during warm months. I canāt figure out why not? No bugs on it at all.
My anthurium hasnāt bloomed in 2 years too. Same management.

Poor thing⦠my Butterfly Stonecrop has been infested with mealy bugs. I acted fast and treated him by putting rubbing alcohol on the infected leaves⦠I may have gotten a drop or two of it in the soil. Did I do the right thing??? š¢ š

DISEASE ID HELP š„ŗ I bought this evening primrose (oenothera fruticosa) at a native plant sale last year. Itās a perennial native to Maryland. Both this year and last year, it seems to have some sort of disease that causes the leaves to turn red and eventually die. Some of the flowers have been deformed as well. Help!
