Can anyone help me with this. The leaves are turning yellow and I’m following the Planta schedule.

Wife noticed about a dozen of these ant/tick looking bugs on our spider plant this morning. It was difficult to get a good photo and this is the first seeing them on any of our indoor plants. Any idea what they are and how to remove/prevent them? Thank you!

This is Fred (photo 1). I rescued Fred and Ginger (photo 2) about six months ago and they were in bad shape with brown spot they we’re root bound. I treated and repotted them, and they’ve been thriving ever since. Until five days ago. Fred started drooping. I tested the soil and it was dry, so I watered them. But we’re four days in and he’s still drooping. Ginger, on the other hand, never drooped and is super happy. And they’re in on pot together. Does anyone have any insights? I don’t want to lose Fred! 🙏🏼 Thanks ahead of time!

Anyone have an effective way to get rid of fungus gnats? Does sticky tape actually work? Is there anything I can put in the soil to stop them laying eggs? What about a carnivorous plant?

I think I burnt my precious Pinky baby. Last night, she was closer under the grow light, so her leaves burnt. Now, I have her this far from the grow light. Is this still too much?

This is Aphrodite, my pothos N’joy and I absolutely adore her. I left for vacation a week and a half ago and I had watered her thoroughly before leaving. Now I regret not bringing her to a friends house to be taken care of. I came home today and she looked like this. Her soil was bone dry so I made sure the soil wasn’t hydrophobic and watered her again. I really hope she will perk up in the morning. Please give me any other suggestion on how to help her <3

Hey y’all! I noticed today that there is a split in the base of my Alocasia Polly. Have any of you experienced this? I’m thinking it’s because it’s too moist near the leaves maybe? I don’t see any pests or anything so don’t think it’s that. There was a leaf above the split that I just pulled off to let it air out. Maybe water got trapped in between the leaf and base? What do y’all think?

This is my Kalanchoe plant. It is again getting very too heavy which is why the wooden dowels are there. Is this a plant that I will need to continually cut down? I’m assuming that it would continue growing taller and taller if I didn’t?

Going to post this in two groups. This is not my picture but found it on Reddit trying to find answers for something similar but in a much milder form happening on one of my Alocasia leaves. Does anyone know what this could be? No pests were found at all. It’s like small yellow spots. Don’t think it’s fungal or bacterial because often that is accompanied by wilty leaves and brown halos. Any advice is welcome.

Noticed today when watering I have thripes on one of my plants. I showered it down real well in the shower and sprayed it with Bonide Insecticidal Soap and have it quarantined. Anything else y’all have done that you have notice has worked well for you?

Unsure what’s going on with my ZZ. Under-watering…, overwatering… anyone have any ideas? Thanks plant friends!

Help! How can I save my orchid? She has many white little critters on her, (i got rid of them about 6 months ago but they can back) and her roots don’t seem in the best shape… How do l know which ones to save and which ones to cut? I’m too scared i’m going to leave her with no roots! Some of the roots are brown towards the middle but have little white new roots coming out of them.. do I save those? Most of them seem half-dead… shriveled at the bottom but still plump at the top. Any way I can save her?

I left my aloe plant with a friend for a few months, and he has seemed to be overwatered. The poor guy lost all of his roots to root rot, and he is losing his color. The leaves are flat at the top, but bumpy at the bottom with some of them browning. Although he isn’t in the best shape, there seems to be new, heathy growth from the middle and it doesn’t look too bad where the roots used to be. Is there anything I can do to save him?

I’ve been bottom watering it and taking care of it. Does anyone know why the leaves started dying all of the sudden? I spotted one bug but don’t know what it was since it was so small

Is anyone else’s water scheduling messed up? My water tasks will show up for about a day but then deletes after. I don’t know which ones (over 40) to water because they are disappearing :(

My poor baby elephant bush is looking so sad, I don't know what to do about it D: She's getting full sunlight and I only water her when her soil is dried up. I already gave her fertilizer and I talk to her all the time, I don't know what l'm doing wrong -update I looked at her roots and she was super root bound! I’m now in the process of re potting her :) hopefully it helps! For the people who gave advice thank you so much, I’ll be sure to follow it
