Please help! I don’t know what’s going on with my BOP leaves. I have her next to a south facing window since she loves a lot of light and I water her every 2 weeks. I have noticed some small white dots on the back of her leaves which makes me think she might have spider mites so I’ve been treating that with neem oil spray. Just curious what’s going on with these leaves. :/

Looking for help. My ZZ plant has been going strong for years. But the stem looks halfway woody and the leaves are yellow and falling off. Any way to help it hang on?

Can anybody help me figure out what’s going on with her? I’ve checked for bugs and it’s good on that I’ve watered to keep dirt moist but all the sudden this what she looks like but she has so many new leaves coming and there’s lots of flower buds in the center where the new leaves are coming in

I need help! This plant seems to me to have some kind of disease but I don’t know what or how to fix it. I’ve repotted in the last year since the issues began and didn’t notice any problems with the roots. The stems used to be much longer but the leaves had died off so I trimmed them back. These new shoots have come out but now the same spots are appearing on these leaves and the new growth seems to have stunted. Any ideas??

My sister has this jalapeño plant. And she just noticed this on the underside of the leaf. Can you tell me what this is and should we be concerned? And how do we fix it? Thank you for your help.

This strange coloration is happening to my young shishito pepper plants. They are in raised beds, watered by irrigation once a day. They are covered in 25% shade cloth. It’s not too hot yet in Texas, but are they burned? Overwatered? Thanks

Hey guys! I literally just got this silver dragon yesterday and I want to make sure it is getting the proper amount of sunlight it needs to thrive. I currently have this one and then my other Alocasia in our sun room, but it only has slivers of direct sunlight at different spurts throughout the day. And tips would be appreciated!

Hey guys! I literally just got this Alocasia yesterday and I am a little conflicted as to how much sun this little guy should be getting, and if the area it’s in right now is good sunlight wise. I want to make sure it gets enough sun to thrive. Any tips would be much appreciated!

My cherry tomato plant is mostly green but some of the peripheral leaves are turning yellow and limp, I’m not sure what it needs:/ I repotted it about a week and a half ago to a larger pot and added some vegetable plant food to the soil, it seemed like it was doing well until yesterday

Help! My monstera has been so healthy until I repotted it in new soil about three weeks ago. I used tropical soil and sphagum moss because I heard it’s really good for them 🥲 is this yellowing at the bottom indicating root rot? I really don’t want to have to repot it all over again :( plus the leaves are suddenly drooping 💔

Just discovered spider mites ughhh. I sprayed everything with a water/neem/alcohol mix, any other tips? I’ve considered beneficial mites but the idea of introducing bugs in my home freaks me out. Please send help and hugs 😭
