Yet another pilea peperomioides problem 🙃 Does anyone know what these brown spots on mine might be? They appeared over the last few days, on both new and old (big and small) leaves on my rather large plant. It has drainage, water when needed, I don't *see* any pests ... is this a fungal thing??? I am worried! Any help would be much appreciated. Fyi I believe the tiny white spots are calcium deposits/water stuff? They have been around for a long while with no issues.

My Calathea warscewiczii has some wrinkling on the edges of the newer leaves. Does anyone know what might be the reason?

Hi everyone! I’ve had my monstera for almost a year with no problems until I recently discovered severe root rot. My local nursery helped me repot it, added rooting hormone but did not use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect (there was maybe half an inch of roots left).
3 weeks later, and it’s doing pretty ok aside from still recovering from signs of stress and one or two very small leaves that yellowed and fell. One new leaf seems to be starting to grow as well. That said, as I was aerating the soil a bit this morning, I noticed a little bit of a black stem poking out of the soil—the rest of the plant looked fine to me. Plucked the one stem out (didn’t see any roots attached) and lightly watered with 3/4 cup of water mixed with less than a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. Is this root rot or maybe just one stem that didn’t grow roots back quickly enough after the repot?
Should I repot again with new soil so soon or try something else? I really don’t want to destroy this plant if she’s got another case of root rot brewing and will do anything I can to save her!

I was pinning my philodendron up to the wall and snapped the end of the vine off in the process🥲 Will this vine continue to grow longer ?? It was growing so long I was excited to get it going over my doorway.

Slouching Lavender and Teeny Mushroom?
My Goodwin lavender has been _slanted_ to say the least for the past few weeks. I did look up why it could be like this and it’s said that it may be due to too much moisture. I’ve laid off watering and just had this plant sitting in the window with (in)direct sunlight. Now, as I was taking pictures to post here, I noticed my plant had some… friends. Could this be due to moisture as well? (If so, I blame the miracle gro tropical soil bag)

How do I get rid of gnats in my soil? I’ve tried hydrogen peroxide and neem oil and that doesn’t seem to help. It’s a pretty big plant, so I’m trying to avoid repotting if I can.

Can my Peperoma plant be saved? Came back from being away to her having what looks to be mold on the surface of her soil + darkened roots. Help!

This is an anthurium clarinervium, does that look like pest damage?

Hey everyone, this bird has grown a lot over the last year. I’m not sure when it’ll outgrow its pot. How does it look right now? I’d love to know when re-pot it, if necessary.

Help me save my string of turtles please! It's been slowly dying over the last six months and I think it's barely clinging to life. I water it on schedule with Planta. Should I repot? I've seen these inside glass jars - should I try that? I'm at a loss.

Does this Mum root look saveable?

Does anyone know why my monstera esqueleto might be doing this? Its new leaves are turning limp and brown and the older leaves too.
4 inch plastic pot with drainage. under a grow light 8 hours a day, near a humidifier as well. Not sure what the problem is, I regularly fertilize. I’ve only had the plant a few months and have not repotted

Does my cactus have spider mites? I’ve read they live on leaves. Cacti don’t really have leaves. And this one is growing a new sprout. But I noticed this webbing. I had noticed the white stuff but nothing else abnormal, and with it growing a new sprout, just thought it was doing its own thing. If it is spider mites what would be the best way to handle this and cure my plant? TIA🙏

Anybody know why my aloe Vera is doing this? I have only had it for a few weeks, I watered it when I got it, and haven’t watered it since. Google says it’s caused by too much moisture! There’s drainage holes in my plant pot SOS help I can’t believe it’s sick so soon 💔

Help!! I’ve had this lucky bamboo for about 5 years, it’s the plant I’m most attached to out of all of them. Just today one of its stalks turned yellow, and when this happened with a previous bamboo it died. Is there anything I can do?
I separated the yellow stalk from the green ones and repotted them both. I’m going to try using distilled water for now to avoid having it be overexposed to fluoride/chlorine. Is there anything I missed or anything more I can do?
-Roots on the yellow stalk are thinning, while the green stalks look just fine root wise

Anybody willing to offer personal experience and suggestions?
This spider plant has developed these red splotches and irregular coloration in the leaves. Can anyone confirm the cause?
I thought maybe sunburn, but still occurs in less direct grow light exposure. So, I recently treated the plant with Arber products for insects And fungus not knowing the cause.
Today along with the usual pile of tiny granules under the pot which has been common occurrence, I found several tiny worm-like creatures, very light in color on the saucer beneath it. Most weren’t moving, but a few were moving so slowly as though they were perishing.
I was told those piles of granules were made by beneficial insects and I Really hope I didn’t kill off a beneficial pest.
Anyone know for certain?
Thank you 🪴
