New to Planta and the groups. Iâm looking for help with my monstera. I was looking for a home remedy to help with fungus gnats and came across using vinegar to keep them away, I also saw peroxide but I didnât have any on had. Anyways I put a little bit of apple cider vinegar around my plant and within 2 days itâs grown this white fuzzy mold like stuff on the top layer of my plant. This happened before about a month ago when I was using neem oil solution to try to treat the rust spots it had. The rust spots and gnats are gone. But is there a way to get rid of the white fuzzy mold on the soil without replanting the whole thing? I donât wanna go out and buy more soil as itâs already a big plant and I donât wanna shock it from repotting it too many times. Any advice and help is appreciated!

Guys my tomato plant is going through something. I had two of em and I had to get rid of the other one because the fruit it bore had rot in them. I think itâs blight but Iâm not sure

Can anyone please tell me what is going on with my plants and how to fix it? I know that the monkey mask needs a repotting but is there anything else I can do to help it.

Iâve been having issues with aphids on my mint for weeks, does anyone know a fast way to kill them without harming the plant?
Maybe I just wasnât doing a good job at spraying down the plant and getting in all the little leaf crevasse

Help đđ severe root rot on my monstera.
Do I need to cut off all of the roots? If so, whatâs my next course of action to save it? Iâm not sure what to do. Any and all advice is needed.
In the last picture I completely cut off the roots but wasnât sure if the open, cut stems look ok or if I need to trim more of the whole root. (Hope that made sense)
I noticed two yellow mushrooms growing in one of my indoor plants. Iâve never had this issue before and Iâm not sure if they will harm the plant (or me). I sat my plant outside one day to get some rainfall so Iâm assuming the spores blew onto my plant. Should I remove them or let them die? Will they harm my plant?

Hi đđŒ I was hoping someone might know whatâs going on with my peperomia. Iâve had this guy for over a year and this week it developed these brown spots of a handful of leaves. Iâve been watering according to Planta schedule. I replanted it recently (a month or so ago), but it seemed fine for weeks thereafter. I moved it to a brighter spot last week (no direct sunlight), but I donât see why that would cause this issue. đ€·đ»ââïž Please help.

Welp, there goes 6 years of being a pest-resistant superstar đđ My parlor palm has thrips. I hosed her down to bare root yesterday, drenched the leaves in Dead Bug brew, and removed all the leaves with evident damage. Now what? Would LOVE some opinions on how to try to save her. Diatomaceous earth? Bag it for high humidity? New soil and systemic? Chop and re-root in water? Thank you, friends!!!

Today I saw this brown portion on my Thai constellationâs leaf. I checked the roots for rotting but it looked fine. I would appreciate any tip on how to keep my baby alive and kicking.
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know why my Monstera is turning black on the bottom of the leaves? HELP!

I just âgraduatedâ from pothos and snake plants and made the terrible mistake of leaving this new baby in a hot Florida car (I knowâŠIâm not proud)
Is it salvageable? What do I do?

My Obliqua seems a bit angry with me. Not sure why it shot out runners or how to stop them. Can I just cut them away?

Plumeria help! Iâm looking for any thoughts on why the leaf is discolored? It wasnât yesterday. Any thoughts on the black spots of tar looking substance on the trunk, branches, and under leaves? Also wasnât there yesterday.
Only thing that was there yesterday are the white spots on the other otherwise normal leaves, which I was trying to figure out what those are as well. Itâs new, in full Sun, has only been watered once in about two weeks and plan to once a week.
Lexi
Iâve had this plant for about 2 weeks and the new leaves still havenât opened. Is this normal? Sheâs under a grow light 12 hours a day and I water about once a week

Just bought a miniature rose about two weeks ago. Noticed it started getting a white powder on some of the leaves. When I looked into it I learned it was a type of fungus. Iâve been able to prune the infected leaves off and the rest seem healthy but I donât want it to come back on any of the others. Does anyone have any tips on whatâs the best thing to use to prevent it?

My snake plant is super wilted and idk why :( I repotted it last week and itâs been fine up until the last few days. Someone said itâs just growing but itâs most definitely wilting now (unless Iâm just being dramatic?) but idk it looks sickly to me, the stem parts of a couple of the larger leaves got super weak so I pruned them but now theyâre all that way and wonât stand up really at all
