Hi! I had a chopstick in my plant as a stake and noticed these bugs on the portion that was in the soil. Theyre not anywhere on the plant, only on the chopstick that was in the soil. Upon my research these are springtails and soil mites, which are healthy for my plant? Just curious and wanted to ask here! TIA!

Hey guys I just discovered that root rot is actually something you can treat without an intense repotting. There is a strain of Trichroderma H that feeds on the fungus that causes the rhizoctonia and other pathogens that rot your roots. I don’t have any root rot to test these on and I don’t plant on causing some just to find out, but if anybody has root rot and wants to give it a shot, you can find it online as strain 22 in a dry mix you add to your water. I would love to know if this sounds as awesome to everyone else because repotting and wasting all that soil when you accidentally overwater once feels extreme.

Not my plant. But a friend of mine has this beauty in her yard. She’s enjoyed the blooms for years (picture one was from last year) and it started to show off this year too. After a particularly bad storm (we are in north central Arkansas) it started drooping and has not bounced back. The last three photos were taken over the span of about a month. Any advice?

Howdy! Just got a gorgeous rubber plant (my first-ever) from a friend who was moving. It's happily put out new leaves from all 3 stems, but several of the older leaves are tan rather than cream. They aren't crispy, just colored brown. Is this normal behavior for older leaves or is there something I can do to prevent/reverse this? Also, some of the oldest leaves have damage; should I trim them or leave them? Thank y'all so much!

My plants have fungus gnats after repotting about a month ago. I’m treating the soil and using sticky traps, but in my rubber tree I am also seeing these weird long things that move as one but appear to be two bugs attached? Are they mating fungus gnats or what? They are all over the plant pot but also on a window in the room. I’m also fighting off spider mites now too. I blame the damn soil but I’m trying to figure out what all I’m dealing with here.

Can anyone help me identify what’s going on with my Avocado tree? Dr. Planta said it was both overwatering and underwatering…😖 other AI said it was spider mites or Fungus…

Hi, any idea what is happening to my monstera? Seems otherwise healthy other than needing propping up 😅

Is this mold or something? I bottom water my pot. It’s in pure coco coir, this showed up one day. If it’s bad I want to repot the plant. If not I see no point in stressing it out. Thank you!

I have these tiny little gnat-like bugs on my plants. What do I do to get rid of them?

I had this old elephant plant-well past 20yrs, that developed edema the last few years of her life. I wanted to prop her before she died off so I found the healthiest stem I could and successfully got it rooted and then growing. Was careful to let dry between watering, but it’s tiny. Now I’m afraid this poor prop will also have edema forever, no stemming yet that looks pink and clean and some leaves are pocked. Can this baby ever outgrow her difficult infancy?

Planta helped me figure out what’s wrong with both of my spider plants! I’ve been watering from the top and all new growth and babies are stunted/browning. I thought it was for sure pests but Planta says water is trapped in the stems at the base. This makes total sense. Anyone else bottom water only?

Please help! This calathea was thriving about a week ago, and after repotting with what I’m afraid might’ve been some old/moldy soil & river rocks it’s barely hanging on. Is it worth washing the pot and trying again with fresh soil, or is it too late?

What’s going on here? (The yellow/ brown patch on the tip and the brown blotch on the leaf) I feel like I’ve tried everything! The leaves towards the bottom of the plant haven’t been shooting up or staying alive either. Watering issue?
Christine
Why is this happening to my monserrat?? Help!

As of lately, I’m seeing more yellow leaves than usual. The plant is in a self watering pot. I usually water once a week , about 20 oz. The plant is five years old.

This guy has a grow light and get some natural sun. Not sure what is going on any advise will help thank you!

Just repotted this guy cause I realized it’s been root bound. I didn’t see any root rot but these leaves seem to be getting worse as there wasn’t any spots on the other leaves yesterday but is now? I don’t know what’s wrong. It is out side but has only been over night and a day… :(
