Little gnat, little gnat. So I have these tiny gnat looking buggos scurrying about in the soils of my indoors plants. They’re too small for a camera to catch. Are they good or are they bad? How to get ride of them?

I recently got this aloe maybe 2-3 weeks ago. I figured it would thrive in the sun. I used normal soil maybe I should’ve made it more gritty. Any thoughts on what might’ve happened. When I first put it in the sun it looked like it got burnt so I put it in indirect sunlight on my balcony. But it unfortunately got worse. Help? I doubt I can save her but would love pointers for next time.

Hi! so my succulents lower petals are all falling off and shriveling up. i can’t tell if it’s due to over/under watering or if it’s an entirely different problem all together. please let me know what i can do to try and help! ps. ignore the pen, she needed some support and it’s all i could find in my dorm🥲

Hi I have this never never plant I just got last week. I got one plant that is in a pot and another that is propagating, the ones that are propagating have great roots but all the leaves turned dry and yellow and now my other plant that is potted is doing the same thing. It is watered. It is by a humidifier and it is under a grow light. any advice?

My largest plant, a marble queen pothos has been thriving up until now. But yesterday I found a few yellowing leaves at the base and I can’t tell if they are simply yellowing due to age or if she is root bound, getting too much water, or what. I haven’t changed anything about her watering cycle, light, or anything. Can yall help me??

Hiii, I bought a Monstera Thai Constellation from GrowTropicals and every leaf had some spots like this - I repotted it, is there anything else I can do to increase its chance of survival?

Does anyone know what this leaf has brown spots on it? 🥹

hi everyone! I have this black velvet alocasia that has this random yellowing leaf and I cannot figure out why. The big leaf right above it is brand new, the roots are healthy, there's no pests...do the older leaves toward the bottom just yellow and die off normally?

New plant parent here. Are these brown node thingys eggs or plant growth? It seems to be healthy but I’m terrified I’m getting pests.

Golden goddess philodendron. What is this? Appeared basically today as I checked yesterday. Almost transparent. Not sticky, just smooth. Otherwise super happy plant that just spit out a new leaf, and has another apparently on the way. Would like to fix asap to keep her happy.

My 4 year old Philodendron Rojo Congo is struggling. I moved him from a south facing window to a corner with south and west facing windows. I think he’s getting too much direct sunlight and is losing a leaf every month or so and the lower leaves just look sad and droopy. He is pushing out new growth though. Maybe I should just move it back, but let me know if you have any other tips for a happier plant!

Please help! Can anyone identify what’s going on with my golden pothos? I definitely think it’s some type of pest but I’m not sure what ☹️

My monstera adonsonii hasnt been doing as good as she normally has and I am suspecting some type of pest. We have a fungus gnat problem with another plant and are treating all of our plants for that but from what ive looked up im not sure that's whats causing this? I don't see any obvious signs of pests like spider mites or mealy bugs so im stumped! Spots, yellowing, and some deformed leaves. Thrips? No idea how it would have gotten them or why my other plants arent suffering from them if so. Ill take any advice I can get!

My rubber plant went through a rough time a few months ago and popped out a deformed leaf. It’s new leaves Look great so when is the old leaf going to look normal and is there anything I can do about it?
