Now two out of three kalanchoes have aphids and I don’t know how to get rid of them (I’ve been trying to spray the leaves with a hose to hopefully knock them off). I really don’t want them to die because my Mom got them for the mother’s day after my Nana passed. I have a kalanchoe propagating just in case.. (The left photo is before and right is currently)

This poor aloe plant is new to me. It was beautiful and green and after a week in my window it is dying. Please tell me how I can save it!

I got this giant beautiful golden pothos at my local Lowe’s and was super excited. But I noticed when I got home a lot of the petioles have this white fuzz like stuff around them. Had anyone seen anything like this? Should I be worried about a fungus or something? If so what should I do?!

This is my polka dot plant… for some reason he’s super leggy and just keeps getting taller. I’m not sure if it’s the soil or lighting or something else. He seems healthy, he’s just super tall compared to most polka dot plants. Any suggestions?

My marble queen is not happy about something. Does anyone think this looks like anything? I’ve checked for pests and all that then she started drooping and getting these leaves.

Help! My philondendron moonlight was doing so good until recently. I brought her home with this new growth about 3 weeks ago and it hasn’t unfurled. Then after she was acclimated to my home I repot her in my homemade chunky soil mix and watered her with some fish fertilizer and a drop of super thrive. Now she has these leaves yellowing and dying and I’ve checked for pests, I don’t see anything so I’m searching here for answers!

Does anyone know if this is a Normal process? I think it might be because my humidity is too low but not sure.

I recently bought a Chinese money plant (Pilea) and the whole top layer of soil is roots. The plant seems happy as it is making babies, however, i’m concerned that this is not normal. Is it okay to keep the plant as it is, or should I try removing some of the babies and put it in a different pot? Thank you!

I just noticed weird fuzzy clumps on my fern today and some of the leaves have brown tips, holes, brown up the stalk … I don’t see anything that looks like a bug. Any idea what this is? :(

Can someone please help me figure out what’s going on with my money tree. A lot of my leaves are turning brown and I’m not sure why? Everyone else in my house is happy.😭 This guy is a few years old and was good until a month or so ago. Any suggestions.

I know I've been posting a lot recently, asking for help... but, I need it. What can I do to help my pilea? I've had her for a while and this has never happened (where a bunch of leaves turn yellow and die). I'm going to repot her into a larger pot in hopes that helps!

Hey all, I recently got a money tree (about a month ago) and the leave have been curling and they have brown spots on them. It also has a soft spot on the base of the one trunk.It’s in indirect bright light so I don’t think it’s sun burn but I’m not sure what else it could be? Any advice is appreciated!

Hello! Inspecting my plants I noticed some brown tiny bugs(?) on my eggplant. Will they harm the plant? Does anyone know what these are and food safe ways to get rid of them?

Is this from underwatering?

Is this signs of too much sun? The other leaves are thriving . Every other week or so a leaf dies off

Hi there I have a croton mammy that was doing so well until I repotted the guy in aroid soil. It was all I had and I feel like it was a mistake? I used regular potting soil prior and it was doing well for 1+ year. It’s also pretty leggy. should I propagate? Switch back to potting soil? Both?

I was on the YouTubes and there’s a content maker called SheffieldMadePlants and he had made a video about using water conditioner for aquariums (tropical fish) and how it “removes” harsh minerals for his plants and helps with crispy tips. Has anyone tried or heard of this?
