sun damage? not sure what the small little speckles are, they've don't move but can be picked off. they don't seem to be affecting the health of the plant. not pests. haven't checked the roots yet, hasn't been repotted in over a year. west facing window, she's sat here (about a foot away from it) since she's been in this pot. new leaves don't unfurl with this damage and most of the leaves don't have it at all despite being months unfurled. big spot in the second pic is not transparent, so not edema

My diffenbacchia has been fighting mealy bugs for 2 years. I’ve tried everything - repotting, sprays, washes… but every new leaf that comes up has mealy bugs in it. He just seems so limp and sad. I read that it may be worth cutting the whole thing back and propagating from the stalk. But given he’s had mealy bugs since he was a baby… I’m worried it won’t resolve the issue. Am I a terrible plant mom if I let him go to the grave yard and just find myself a new bug-free plant 😭

Help! I got gifted a pothos N joy because the previous owner couldn’t revive it after they nearly killed it. Now I’m trying to revive it and it’s been hard! I propagated some of its cuttings bc I thought maybe it needed some pruning, the cuttings are doing great but the momma is not. I’ve tried watering it a little bit more and it’s just not working! Please drop some tips or tricks I can try on this plant, I’m just trying anything because I don’t want it to die!

How do I help my sweet prayer plant? Her sister is thriving, but I woke up one morning and she was all sad. They are now in separate rooms. Can I save her?!

Anyone know why my spider plant is turning a pale green? Its propagations are doing it too even though they have different lighting conditions.

Help! Ive had my rattlesnake plant for about 2.5 years. It has always been in a self watering planter and I only use distilled water; I fertilize infrequently as I have noticed that it is very sensitive to fertilizer. It started to randomly get browning/yellowing leaves; Some start as spots while others it starts at the edges and spreads. I am thinking it is something fungal but before I use a copper fungicide, I wanted to get others thoughts on what it might be as I know using copper fungicide when its not needed can do more harm than good. I checked the roots and they are not only good but there are several pups that are getting ready to break through the surface. Thoughts?

So I just got this little succulent about a 2 weeks ago when I brought it home I noticed that it had a tinny little flower shoot thing that was going to grow looked at her yesterday and it was all dry was wondering why it did this and will it flower again?

This is my first time with a tree philodendron and she’s been doing so well until I repotted her two weeks ago. She’s dropped 2 leaves and has developed this weird streaking on one of her biggest leaves. Any thoughts on what it could be???

My mom is 65 and listens to NO BODY, but Jesus or the Holy Ghost… I asked her every day not to water the plants daily… she listens not! So my twins are or had root rot. I changed the soil and pot and trimmed the leaves. He base of each plant though is mushy ASF! Is there a way to save them or no?

I got this Monstera Deliciosa Aurea today and of the 2 in the store I simply chose this one because it was surprisingly in better health. This one has damaged to both of the slightly matured leaves, the new leaf coming out has some nasty brown discoloration, there’s that same sad brown on the largest leaf, and he’s a really droopy baby 😞😞😞 can anybody tell me what’s up with everything? Ps. My new mint monstera is less and less variegated every newer leaf, what can I do to help return the variegation?

My fittonia (nerve plant) is starting to get all dry around some of its bottom leaves. Her soil is still moist and I water her well, so I don’t think it’s an underwatering issue and she hasn’t drooped at all since I got her. She’s also always been in a well-sunlit room but out of direct sun, so I doubt it’s scorching. I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing wrong but I want to make sure she’s getting what she needs. It’s minor now, but I want to try to figure it out before it becomes a more major issue. I am considering that it might be low humidity (even though I do have a humidifier running in the room) or it might be something to do with water quality, and I have also been concerned I may be OVERwatering her (I don’t think that should lead to leaves drying out though?), but does anyone have any other ideas or advice?

Hello Planta community ☺️👋🏻 Would anyone have found an effective solution to get rid of fruit flies and flying gnats? I already own several blue light sticky trap machines around the house as well as the actual yellow sticky traps posted into each plant I own. I also spray Arber Bio Pesticide & Fungicide on my plants once every two weeks in hopes of getting rid of them but it feels like they are multiplying faster than I can keep up with 😭😭😭 Would anyone know of a better solution? Any tips or tricks that worked for you guys would be so appreciated, I am desperate at this point 🫠

what is this on my calathea? I wiped it оff and it came straight off, bunched up - almost like it was plant tissue - it wasn't hard and was easy to remove so don't think it was a scale bug but I'm stressing😭

What could be the issue with my BOP? With the tips being brown. Do I need to repot bc it’s still in the nursery pot for about 6 months now. Thanks for the suggestions.

How does my fig plant look? Is there any suggestions for it? A lot of like the tips of the leaves are black and the under leaves are falling off. I’d there anything I need to do?

So I’ve grown an avocado plant from seed and it was time to up-pot it. I decided to put it in a grow bag and tried to prepare it for transitioning to outside. The first day I set it out for 2 hours. The next day about 4 hours. This morning this is what she looks like😭😭😭 Did I stress her out too much?? Is there any resolve??

Really been struggling with my Thai con… why is it browning before it even unfurls?

These two yellow leaves are the 5th and 6th to turn and drop within the last month, and this has never happened with this plant prior to this. I just transitioned it from soil to LECA this summer, is it still in shock from that transfer? Is there a way to help make the transition easier?
