Hello, hope you are all well. I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with my lemongrass. I tried to get the best pictures I could have these tiny bugs. What are they? and if I shouldn’t let them stay around how should I take care of them? thank you in advance 💗

Hi, any advice on mealy bugs? I found one on my string of hearts but checked the plant and found no more. Should I be worried and treat the plant?

My birds nest fern is growing well however some of the leaves have brown marks and spots appearing. Also the soil looks a bit like velvet, any idea whats causing these things? Is the velvety soil a problem or is it normal?

Help! Is this mould in the soil of my miniature roses? It has a fluffy dry texture. I’ve done some looking online but I can only find information on mould on rose stems and leaves but nothing about mould in the actual soil? They are miniature roses (indoor). I water roughly every 5 days but I need to increase as I’ve noticed the soil is drying out very quickly. Any suggestions on how to save or do they need to go? I have a beautiful bloom on one of them so I will be sad if I can’t save her :-(

HELP!!! I went to turn my precious Thai in the window and saw THIS! I noticed the edge of a leaf browning just a hair a couple weeks ago, but I thought it was a fluke. I’ve had this girl for a couple years now and have never had any issue. Why does she have brown spots????

My outdoor lantana plant has a bunch of leaves that look like this. Is it damage from thrips?

How long should a grow light be on if u use it indoors

What could be causing these brown spots??? They seemed to appear over night, seem to be on all the leaves. I haven’t moved the plant recently so I don’t think it’s sunburn.

help! ants! i left my large aloe outside all season and a colony of ants settled in without me noticing. i’ve already repotted her, cleaned the pot, and tried to shake off as many ants and eggs as possible. then, i brought her inside away from the door. just today i noticed a trail of ants making their way back to her inside! i’ve now surrounded her with cinnamon as i’ve heard this is supposed to help deter them. i’m afraid another repot down/ shaking her out to her roots again will kill her! what should i do??

Not sure why but the main stem of my mini monstera has gotten really thick and the newer leaves are smaller and with less holes. Any tips on what to do??

I have this moon cactus that i haven’t had for a year and the yellow one has gone downhill. I haven’t watered it in over a month so I thought it just needed water and would perk back up but it didn’t and now it’s mushy and translucent. I looked up these cactus are prone to root rot but I don’t water any of my cactuses often so I don’t think it’s that, I could definitely be wrong so any help would be appreciated!
