I’ve had this money tree for a few years and realized it has fungus gnats today. The soil is dry though it feels like there’s a little moisture on the bottom. I’m inclined to just let it dry out for a couple of weeks based off of what I’ve read, and because I’m not experienced in pest treatment. Neem oil and other applications seem confusing to me, mostly because I’m traumatized from treating a coffee plant that ended up dying a few years ago 🥲 Any advice?

help me make my begonia thrive! King is literally my king. If my home set on fire, I would go back in to get him. He came with some imperfect leaves. If they were major imperfections on small leaves I just picked them off but most of them I kept. I have picked off most except his big leaves with holes as of now He’s not in a self watering pot. I bought one for him but I decided to wait and see if he likes the regular one because the leaves were moving to face the grow light he’s under for 12 hrs daily (technically he’s under 2 because there’s a second light on the shelf below facing the opposite way for my other plants). He has all purpose soil with perlite and some cactus soil to make better drainage since I didn’t have anything else at the time of repotting. I go over and check him more than any of my other plants, so I know these wilted leaves are fresh. Planta first said thrips, but he has no visible bugs. Then watering, and he’s a little dry but nothing crazy. He’s next to a constant humidifier. The leaves felt a little soggy but I don’t overwater this guy, like at all. He has some basic mold at the top of his soil that I haven’t had the time to remove yet. I’m in the process of keeping up with insecticide when I need to water as spring comes and it’s not his turn yet.

Does anyone know what are these bumps on my Thanksgiving Cactus? I couldn’t find any pests and the one directly next to it, has no problems. Thanks for any assistance.

A leaf on my marble queen pothos has developed brown spots with yellowing around them. Does anyone know what this is/what it’s caused by and if I can fix it or if I should just cut the leaf off? Thanks :)))

Can anyone help me figure out what is going on with my Audrey ficus? Some of the leaves have this on the bottom. I don’t see pests but I think maybe aphids? Or rust fungus? Scale? Help!! She’s growing well and only a few leaves have this in random spots. Some old and some new.

Having trouble getting this sage to grow. I planted it last year from seed and it’s never gotten any bigger than this. It’s with my strawberries. I added some all purpose slow release fertiliser granules and water it so the soil is moist but not wet. It’s kept in a sunny spot. Does anyone have any advice on helping this guy grow more?

Does anyone have any idea what’s going on with my money tree? For weeks it’s been losing a lot of leaves (they yellow and then brown and then fall off), but it also has a ton of new growth. At first I thought it was root rot and tried to trim the roots a couple months ago but it didn’t make a huge difference.

Can anyone take a look at my plant and see if everything is well? It looks too thin but still growing, just want to check if I’m missing something.

I got this sour sop seedling at the end of last year, and it’s been struggling to grow for quite a while until recently. Although it went through a cold shock over during the most recent freeze in Texas (of which it dropped all of its original leaves) and now started to propagate these side shoots very recently, they do not look as if they’re part of the main plant which is what is bothering me. The most important thing is that it’s no longer growing with the main stem, and I don’t know why. Should I should cut it off or let it grow? The thing is, it does not look like the original sour sop leaf anymore?

I got this aglaonema ruby red about one month ago as is…should the roots be above the dirt like it is or should I repot it? Thanks for the help!

I have had this string of buttons for several years. I am looking for some guidance on what is covering the leaves. Thanks in advance!

Im looking for advice on my snake plant. I took it from my grandparents house when they moved so it is years and years old. I figured it would be totally fine in my care since it had been in their house so long. There, it sat right in front of a window with direct light. I keep in in front of my window but it doesn’t get quite as much light as it used to. About 10 months later, many of the leaves are getting yellower. I really don’t want to deal with repotting because I’m very much a beginner. Any advice? (The second photo is today)

I moved my girl outside into full sun and I think she went into shock. I’m worried she is going to die now. Any tips or advice? (She has been moved back inside)

my leopard plant dropped nearly all its leaves! Less than a month ago it had 15+ leaves now it has like four. I noticed this white mildew? Not sure if it’s an infection or the cause of this issue it was only really on one leaf. Please anything helps.

Planta indicates my established Brush Cherry needs to be watered only if there is a drought but I get frequent notifications to water it while not currently in a drought. Which is correct? Should I just keep skipping the water alerts until Planta fixes this inconsistency?

Money tree help 😢 we have had this tree only a couple of weeks and it’s started developing these white spots? I’ve read it could be burn but it’s all over including the side facing away from the window…any idea what might be causing this!! Thanks ☺️

I’m not very knowledgeable in plants, this happened in the last pot so I repotted it and (didn’t completely separate the roots from the old soil) it’s got this white stuff on it

I’ve had this anthurium for a couple of years and although it’s growing well some of the bigger leaves look bad. Flowers are not getting really big either. What could be the problem? Should I cut these off or prune or something? Thanks!
