I have these propagations…. The two on the right are neon pothos but I don’t know what the one on the left is. How would I be able to propagate these?

My Famingo Lily anthurium has a leaf that has developed some odd coloring. She has no pests as far as I know. What do you think this might be and what can I do about it. TXS. 😊💚🪴 PS The picture with the red bloom is what she usually looks like. Of course the bloom is long gone.

Help! My Thai Con got stem rot right below what I think was a node and above the roots. I cut off all the rot and this is what I'm left with above the roots. The roots feel ok. Does anyone know if I will get any growth from this? Or did I cut away too much of the node??

My dragon’s breath alocasia pushed out a gorgeous new leaf which, within the first week of being fully unfurled, has this hole in it 😕 I would appreciate any help identifying the cause so I can start treating it! TIA!!

Help! I’ve found these creepy crawlers in BOTH my diffenbachia and my monstera that I purchased from Home Depot and I have no idea what these are. What are they? Are they harmful? And how do I treat them??

What is the BEST way to get rid of FUNGUS GNATS on my indoor plant babies? I couldn’t get a picture of them because they were so teeny and they moved continually. I could barely see them with a magnifying glass, but I am sure they were FUNGUS GNATS! Oooohhhh! (my fists are clenched as I say that!) HELP!!! 😊💚🪴 PS FYI, my plant babies have already gone through four recent sprays of neem interspersed with copper fungicide for scale. If I spray, am I setting up my plants for some kind of treatment resistance?

Hey y’all, I have this dendrobium orchid that overall seems healthy if maybe a bit over-sunned. Long story short, this was intended to be a short term placement for it during some home improvements we’re doing, so eventually it will go back to its home with less light. In the meantime, it has developed this, but I’m not sure if it’s some sort of pest or a sign of too much light. Or maybe it’s part of its natural cycle. Those black spots are hard, not scraping off. Can’t seem to find anything about this online. Any experienced orchid growers know? I know orchids are sensitive, so I don’t want to make any further changes to its environment unless I have to.

There’s some mold growing on my peace lily’s soil. It doesn’t seem to be hurting the plant. Should I be worried?

Can anyone identify the cause of these discolored spots on my Zz? It has had a lot of new growth lately, so I haven’t noticed any other signs of pests/diseases/other issues.

My outdoor rose bush. Lots of eaten leaves. I removed some stems with aphids but not sure what this fly is and what's actually eating my leaves

Please help! I just got this pinky symphony caladium from a well know nursery in my area and it’s been about two weeks and these mushy brown spots are taking over the pink leaves. Her green leaves don’t have an issue. She’s also growing new leaves, both pink and green. She’s in a room with gentle indirect light, the soil is moist, it has a pebble tray. I’ve applied neem to the affected area and it got worse over night! What do I doooo?? She’s my new favorite and I’m so proud of her but she’s very sad :(

Looks healthy but some leaves started getting dry. Watering when soil is dry, medium sunlight indoor. Does this need a bigger pot? How can I make sure this stay healthy. I am pretty new to gardening and this is one of my favorite plant 🙂
