I cannot figure out what my Chinese money plant wants. The leaves keep turning a little yellow with brown spots on the edges and falling off. It is making new leaves, but the older leaves won’t stay attached.
I wait until the soil is almost all dry before watering, it is planted with the recommended soil according to this app and it has drainage holes in the pot. I had it in my dining room with indirect medium light but then I worried it was too indirect and I moved it to under a grow light, but that didn’t seem to help.

Not me thinking that there was a "strategic" way to store bags of soil. Because of course fungus gnats can survive and reproduce in an airtight plastic container. AND find their way outside a bag that was rolled up tight and secured with a binder clip 😂🤦🏻♂️
P.S. any advice on how to keep pests outside your bags of soil is welcome :)

Help! This is my Chinese Hibiscus, I took the plant out of the pot and saw new roots growing and then removed it from bright light. Can anyone tell me why leaves are yellow and tips for care?

My friend left this plant outside and it looked like it was dying. We cut off the brown/yellow parts and moved it. Is there anything else we can do to help it? Hal’s in advance!

I just bought this lemon tree a couple days ago and repotted it last night- it’s on my patio where it can get full sun. I noticed it looks a little droopy today- do you think it’s just because I repotted it? It was a hot day and is going to be a hot week. I misted it last night and just watered it but want advice on how to make less droopy. Thanks!

I just moved this Carolina reaper outside and it is starting to wilt and brown. Is that something I am doing wrong? Will it recover?

Hello I’m finding what I think are thrips on my plants! A lot of my plants! Besides spraying with Neem mixture, is there anything else I can do? I don’t want to lose a bunch of them! Thank you

My anthurium looks like it has a white mold on top of the dirt in patches, which is weird because I water her very infrequently and often wait a week after the care reminder tells me to water her. I think it might be because of how thick the soil is, but I have the same type of soil in my pothos plants pot and the soils completely covered by the leaves, but it doesn’t have any mold. I have them in a south facing window right below an AC vent.

I have 2 knockabout roses and something is eating them. Do I use a general purpose insecticide or should I go a more natural route and use the vegetable oil, dish soap and baking soda method?
I am unsure of what the bugs are as I don’t see any on them at all!
