guys i need help ID-ing this pest 🫠 These are 3 diff of the (same?) bug on my plant, potentially at different life stages. You can see the white speck on my Alocasia, it was too small for a good photo but it was definitely moving around. I couldn’t even see more of it with my naked eye. I have no other symptoms to go off of unfortunately. I drenched it in insecticide and neem oil and added more systemic granules, don’t worry😋

Hi there. I got a few plants on clearance from my local garden center. This rubber plant is one of them and I’m really hoping to nurse her back to health. All of the spots etc came when I got her. So far I have repotted her in organic soil with perlite. Added a watering spike to hopefully keep myself from over watering. I tested out neem oil on a leaf yesterday and all seemed to go well so might add that. I’m a novice plant mama and this is my first rubber plant. Anyone have any extra advice or thoughts of how I can care for her? Thanks so much!

My bush poppy has been developing small black spots on leaves and then those leaves are dying/whole branches are being lost. The plant is still flowering, but growth has been very stunted. I don’t obviously see any pests, though these small black spots I suppose could be small bugs, I’m not sure.

Seems like my plant may need some help :/ not sure what the cause of the yellowing is as it’s getting plenty of sun, maybe under watering? And the browning new leaf that’s coming through, I have no idea

Hey guys, Really inexperienced plant mum here. My string of pearls has been hard to take care of… so I’m likely overreacting… but can someone please help me confirm if it has spidermites? I noticed this little web looking thing this morning:

Wondering why some of my beans are having such difficulty and others aren't. There are three possible varieties here (I planted randomly just to see what stuck- French filet, "eureka" yellow, and royal burgundy). The burgundys that came up are doing pretty well (besides some problems with over sunning from the heat) but I can't figure out why the green/yellow are suffering so bad. Considering repottting as a solution but idk

Any tips for getting rid of a mealybugs infestation on my monstera? I’ve been using both a systemic pest control solution & I wipe away any visible mealybugs with neem oil on a daily basis. The amount of mealybugs I’m finding has drastically decreased, but it’s been months & there are still some popping up. Should I just continue with the same treatment til they’re entirely gone? Or is there something else I can do? Thank you!!
