Can anyone tell me what these black spot on my Chinese Money Plant are? I’ve got a small gnat infestation that I’m working on taking care of but all my other plants don’t have anything wrong with them. So far none of the newer leaves have anything like that. Is there anything I can do to save them or should I prune the infected leaves?

scale or scars? I’ve never had scale before so I’m not sure. This is my raven ZZ that is still in quarantine.

i’ve recently asked the same question and tried multiple suggestions but none have worked fully. does anyone know any remedies or recommendations to get rid of gnats in plants? since summers rolling around my plants are compromised completely😭i’ve tried neem oil, sticky traps (the outcome has been crazy) and a few others.

I have these little pest flying or jumping around a few of my plants now? What are they? Will they destroy my plants? I never had them until i bought a plant at a yard sale a few weeks back? Help please

A bit lost here. My tomato plants and sunflowers were doing fantastic for a long time, but now looking terrible. Any advice?? When I try to water, it just sits at the top and pools or goes straight through the drainage holes. I follow a regular watering schedule and use liquid fertilizer as needed.

So my money tree has been doing okay but it keeps switching between good and bad. I had to remove two trunks that died a few months ago. And now a third (middle in photo) seems to not be producing leaves and it’s shriveling. I’ve watered it when the soil is close to dry or practically dry. I check the soil. I mist it regularly. And there’s drainage in the soil. But I don’t understand what is happening with it. What should I do?

Hey guys! I was wondering if you know what the problem is with my plant. Today I noticed the yellow/ brown spots on the leaves and when I was about to water it I saw this white residue on the soil. Is it mould or spiders? Any tips on what to be done in this situation would be much appreciated! 😊

I separated and repotted my Clivia 2 months ago. About three weeks later they seemed to be going downhill so I checked roots and there was some root rot happening. Cleaned it up. Now another month later one of them had some leaves turning yellow. Checked it and pulled about 5 middle leaves out with the bottom part rotted. Looked inside in the middle and it’s rotted w little long white pests crawling around inside. The root system looks great though!! What happened and why is this happening?? I’ve tried researching online and can’t find what’s going on. What r the bugs and what can be done? I tried to get a good pic of the inside but it’s hard with only 2 hands lol

Hi friends!! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get rid of the little gnat type bugs in my plants soil?? I’ve cut back on watering, checked everyone for root rot(all good), adjusted the lighting situation for some… and there are still a few lingering.

Need some advice. I have a big Peace Lily and I had her in my SW facing sliding door and every so often I rotate her and I rotated her yesterday and noticed she appears to have gotten sunburnt. Should I cut out all of the sunburnt leaves??

I recently got a croton and it’s already dropped two leaves! Any advice or ideas of what I could be doing wrong? It’s in a south facing window that is partially covered by my roof, and I am following plantas watering schedule. Any help would be appreciated!

Does anyone know what kind of fungus this is? It’s kind of like a white ish green color. Google said it was harmless to my plants but I just want to make sure. I had gotten this bag of soil and didn’t open it for a while. Then when I opened the bag, there was a bunch of this fungus.

Hi friends! I recently received a (albeit very sickly) astrophytum/goats head cactus from a friend. He didn’t have the time to try and save him and wanted to see if I could give it a shot. Now I am not an expert by any means but I used Dr Planta to diagnose it and it thinks it’s scales (EEK). What do you guys think? Did I just endanger the rest of my plants by bringing this one into the home? If so, how do I make sure they don’t get scales?? I tried to see if I could pull any of the reddish bits off and they don’t budge so I am hoping it is edema/discoloration. I don’t see any moving pests on there either. HELP
