First occurrence of mealy bugs on beloved Violets. Any tips? Rinsed them off. Planta suggests insecticide. Any recommendations?
I have yellowing leaves and then the thing on the stem is happening. I’m not sure what’s going on. If somebody could help me, I’d appreciate it.
What’s going on with my cucumber plant.m? Are these bugs? They don’t move so I’m a bit confused
Hi, my anthurium dorayaki is turning yellow. I understand some of leaves getting crunchy/brown from perhaps low humidity, but I’m uncertain why some of the leaves are turning completely yellow but are otherwise physically fine? It’s in a chunky soil, I water every few days with filtered tap water, have a moss collar, and I try my best to keep the humidity high for it in my otherwise dry house. It is currently growing a new leaf that looks healthy so not certain it is a root issue. Could it be related to the water? Thank you!
Hey all! I just bought this curly spider plant from Home Depot. She’s going to go on the porch but it’s currently snowing today 🥶 Can anyone tell me why her leaves are soggy and droopy, I know it’s probably over watering but I just want to make sure there isn’t any deeper issues. Any tips on what I should do? Thanks!!
My money tree looks like the leaves are burning? Maybe? Idk. I’m very new to plant ownership. I got this beauty at the store, repotted a few weeks ago. Been doing good. But noticed this last week. I also haven’t used any fertilizer yet and feel like that might be part of the problem? Or to much light? Can anyone help?
I recently repotted my pothos and I believe it’s going through transplant shock. I’ve pruned all yellow or dying leaves and watered 5 days ago when I repotted it. Soil is dry now, should I water it again? Or while that make things worse?
Hi, hope everyone is good! Any advice on whats going on with my monstera? There are no pests in sight. Are the brown areas down to underwatering? Thanks!
Should I report this plant and change its soil? When I looked it up it said it’s saprophytic fungi, and it’s not harmful, but this seems like it’s a lot.
Not the best photo. But what would cause my anthuriums leaves to be turning like this all of a sudden? It’s in a self watering pot and in a greenhouse
So I’ve had my ripple jade since December 2023. For the first 8 or so months that I had it, I lived high up in an apartment with west-facing windows and kept it right on my windowsill. Then I moved to a place with north-facing windows that gets a mix of shade and indirect light. My plant was this size when I got it (4-5 inches tall) and has not grown at ALL in two years. It puts out new leaves all the time and hasn’t behaved any differently in the different light conditions. I know ripple jades get way bigger than this, so what’s going on? Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Hello All- I’m trying to determine what pest would be causing the stems in this Fig Tree to “shred”, especially near new growth shoots and leaves. I’ve treated it systemically recently and also using an all natural spray. I e also cut some of the branches that seem to be dead to see if that may help. Noticed this about 3-4 months ago. Any idea would be appreciated. Pic is a bit blurry but I think it still shows the damage. Thanks !
What is going on here? This is on my Scindapsus exotica. My immediate thought is root rot due to soil staying wet for too long. I only watered it when completely dry, but it was in a plastic outer decorative pot- maybe that kept the soil wet for too long? Is that possible?
Please help! This is the newest leaf on Polly. WTH is this?! How do I fix it?
Why is my spider plant turning kinda blue? The baby on the left is it the color that it’s supposed to be and was taken off the mother plant a couple weeks ago. It’s all normally that vibrant green color so I am confused
I have these in all my plants and I’m realizing that they are more obvious around my house with the more plants I invest in. What are things that have worked for you guys to combat this/ get rid of the gnat problem? Thanks for advice.
I’m so upset about this! This is Zeus, my Alocasia. He’s new to the family but he’s sick? I removed him from his pot, removed root rot & have him all new soil with extra perlite & gave a light watering. Came home today and 3 of his leaves are super droopy now :( I know they don’t love having their roots messed with but I figured it was better than making him soak in an old soil that wasn’t draining right. Any tips or tricks? Has anyone had this happen to their alocasia?
Help! I bought a croton a about a week ago and finally went to repot it. The root balls are teeny! My smallest pots are much bigger than these roots. Any suggestions?
Does anyone else live in NJ and have a palm plant that’s not handling well our drastic change in weather? Mine has drastically formed yellow leaves within the last couple weeks. But I’m also trying to determine if it needs a repot or something else, and maybe not weather related. I don’t see any pests.
Please help this just started happening fast to my Easter cactus. Any advice?
