helpp my beloved monstera is not doing good. these black spots originally appeared with tiny white animals. i’m not sure if it’s a pest only issue or also some type of fungal/ root rot? i’ve been using neem oil and some baking soda water for the leaves and there’s no more pests but more leaves have gotten the spots. any other recommendations?? i’ve already lost so many new leaves :((
Is this sunburned? And if so, how do I treat it? Its a indoor plant and was left outside for an afternoon. It was in perfect condition until then. Thank you!
I have these tiny ants on my outside used this powder with good results?
I need some help with my beloved variegated Hoya compacta. It was on my plant stand under the grow light that came with the stand, far away from a north facing window. I used Planta’s recommended watering schedule as a guideline of when to check the pot for dryness and would only water if the bamboo stick was dry. Fast forward to the last 2-3 weeks. I noticed the bottom leaves keep yellowing and then shriveling up. I looked at the roots - they were fine, but the soil seemed compacted at the bottom, so I put the repotted in a nursery pot with soil mix that drains well. I also moved it to my north facing windowsill. Unfortunately, none of the seems to be helping as I noticed two more leaves yellowing. Checked the root ball again today, seems fine. No pests seen either. Does it need a grow light with higher wattage? Need different soil? Something else? With fall quickly approaching, I know the natural Sunlight will decrease in my home, so I want to get this taken care of.
I have a bamboo plant and just found ants in the soil when I watered it, what do I need to do? Thank you!
Is this eggs?? I don’t understand did they maybe come with the plant I bought? How do I prevent this? Because I’m ready to give up on plants :(
I have a “compacta”? Planta that is struggling. I am either over watering, or not watering enough, or it does not like my building water. I just ordered a water conditioner to see if that makes a difference. Any suggestions? Thanks!
what is this insect? been seeing a few around some of my plants recently, not sure if i should be concerned.
This is my first Chinese evergreen plant, my leaves are drooping, is this because of watering issues or sunlight issues? Or is this normal for this type of plant? I’ve had to add a uv lamp because don’t get enough light coming thru my apartment. Please help me.
My alocasia frydek just grew a new leaf and at the same time it started to have a discoloration to another. Can anyone help out? what shall I do? It’s been under a grow light about 6-8hrs a day for the past 3 days, indoor indirect sunlight. No pests on it/around it. Big leaf had the little discoloration since I bought it over a month ago with no new or increase in the discoloration. Soil was not too wet nor too dry either. Is it best to cut the yellow leaf or let it stay and water/mist it more?
Hey everyone new plant momma so don’t come for me please but I bought this beauty from Walmart, I feel like I rescued her more than anything her name is Monty I repotted her when I got home but I’m curious as to what the yellow things on the leaves are and if I need to split her so she has more room. I named her Monty
Does anyone know what this discoloration indicates on my monstera? The front looks ok, but there's this large brownish stain on the back. It's smooth. Everything else looks fine on the plant. I just separated from a larger plant and no other leaves have this, the roots are good. It's been mainly outside.
Help!! I can’t figure out why my adansonii is unhappy! The only thing I can think is that it’s outgrown its pot and I need to give it more soil in a bigger pot, but I’m unsure (and need to buy a bigger pot if that’s the case). There are no signs of pests that I can see.
I’m currently at a loss I had thripes about a month ago. I got 3 32oz pesticide and sprayed all of my plants with it over a period of a week then on the last day I took ALL of my plants outside and sprayed them down with the hose. I brought them all back in again and sprayed them down a final time. Welp I was watering and checking on them today and they are back! I’m so ready for my plants to find a new home 😔😂
Help! I got this fiddle leaf about two weeks ago and it looked great (first pic). We got home from vacation and I noticed browning of most of the leaves and this little cluster of small brown things - spider mites maybe? Anyone have any idea if that’s the pest I’m dealing with? And if there’s any hope at salvaging the plant since most leaves have some extent of browning.
Hi, I've had this moon cactus, who I call Sunshine, for at least three years. I read sometime ago that they tend to die after two or three years. I've been watching for short spots, one sign that they're dying. She doesn't have any. What is noticed is the top of the moon seems to be creating a separation and the color of the lower portion is fading. I water and fertilize following Planta's schedule unless she's not dry enough. I also read that it's good to remove the babies so it can stay focused on the main moon. To clarify when I say "I read" that means I've checked two of more sites I trust. Should I be worried? Is this a sign it's dying? The first four picture were taken today after giving her fresh soil. The others are over the course of three years.
What is this on my snake Plant and how do I get rid of it? Thanks for any help
