I have a question about ants. When should I worry about them? They live my passion flower vine, caladiums and now my herb garden. I’ve been using diatomaceous earth around the edges of my pots and then tonight I find them going into the drainage holes of my herb planter. Help.

Somebody please help!! I brought her home & she instantly dropped half her leaves!💔 Should I remove the leaf that’s browning? Will the stem with no leaves sprout new growth? At least the leaves have stopped dropping 😭😭 #fiddleleaffig #plantcare #sos

Is this harmful? Or is this a beneficial fungi?

I had to chop up my Syngonium Aurea :( Got root rot after repotting, photos go in backwards chronological order. Hoping i can save her by propagating… if anyone has any advice would be greatly appreciated

What's your preferred way to get rid of fungus gnats? I've seen lots of different advice but would love to hear what's worked for you. 🌿🎍🌱

My tradescantia is really sad. I repotted it to a smaller plastic pot because it was in a too big terracotta pot that wasn’t doing it any favours. I’d cut it back and it seemed to be doing well, but now the stems are rotting at the base and coming off. I don’t want to mess with the roots again. Dr. Planta said it was overwatered (because it says that about everything) but I’m skipping waterings because the soil is still moist. Any suggestions?

I have a montera and pothos that I recently got. They are both growing a lot but I see brown holes in some of their leaves and not sure what’s going on. Any ideas?

My Alocasia Black Velvet is just over a year old, and recently she has been partially drooping. I just fertilized 3 weeks ago, watered about a week ago, and it gets very indirect light. Any idea what’s going on? Do I need to repot?
