Hi I was gifted an anthurium. The plant is still growing new leaves so I don’t think I’ve killed it. However, throughout the year it’s lost all of its flowers and hasn’t grown any new ones. It’s still pretty but I’d love to grow some new flowers. Any tips?
hi everyone, so i have a big pest problem on my collection, both thrips and spider mites on my plants. i am a student and am currently doing my thesis so i have very minimal time to care for my collection which is over 100 plants. what is my easiest mode of action, im ok if it take bit longer than usual as long as it works! also i have a cat so it cannot be toxic. knock on wood, but so far they just look sad and nothing crazy has happened just a few leaves dying here and there but nothing has fully died yet and its been this way since april, i just really want them to start thriving again!

hi all! I have a bunch of outside potted plants and I've had such a problem with ants nesting in my pots. im at my wits end with them!!!

This is on my lemon tree (on the backs of the leaves) Does anyone know what this is, and how to get rid of it? I’ve sprayed everything I know on it and it keeps coming back.
This foxtail fern and I need some advice! As you can see it’s lost a lot of stems over the years, especially during the hot summers. Do you think if I take it out to basically repot it, that I can remove these woody stems without damaging the live parts? Is it possible to clean it up and make room for new growth? Any advice welcomed to restore/recovery!
Weird question. Is there a pest that can cover a whole shelf with webbing? I didn't see a spider anywhere and none of the plants had spider mites. It was on the shelf with the orange boat lily. The whole underside was covered. 🤷♀️
I really need some advice, my figgy is getting brown spots

any ideas what these spots are from?
My succulent is hard in the center but everywhere around is soft and the leaves look cracked. I moved it from the sun. Any clues what it could be?
My Persian Shield looks a bit off & I wish I could keep the leaves purple. Any idea what’s causing the speckled look or how I can keep it purple while growing indoors? Dr. Planta said it may be under fertilized. Location: indoors (office environment) Lighting: 1 foot from a south facing window (currently shade in the morning & sunny in the afternoon) Water: it’s watered twice a week (it will droop after about 4 days & perks up once thoroughly watered) Fertilizer: probably fertilized once a month with Foliage Pro SuperThrive Pests: nothing seen on plant or in soil It was repotted into a Naked Root planter about a month ago & the roots are thriving as they have begun growing towards the sides and bottom.
Okay I have tried everything to get rid of the gnats living in my banana trees soil. They are starting to infest my home. Please help. I have an event coming up in a month and the last thing I want my guests to endure is gnats getting in their face and food.
Can someone tell me why my mother-in-law‘s tongue or snake plant leafs are curling in and look shrivelled ? I follow the schedule on this app

Queen of the night, spots? It’s bone dry right now. I was just getting ready to water and noticed all the spots Not sure what’s causing it. I cleaned it to make sure there weren’t any pests, couldn’t find any. Any suggestions?
Soooooo I made a massive error in judgement and thought I had thrips and then used a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on some leaves and well, yup…. Definitely burnt the leaves and wondering if anyone has any advice other than removing / pruning the completely dead leaves ? Any steps to take that you have taken from personal experience or that works well? I really do not want to give up on this plant ( it’s a magestic palm). I almost gave up on it a while back with a growth issue and just as life teaches us patience- this is my Buddha tree per se.
Ring of fire - roots look fine?
I have a question regarding outdoor plants. Does anyone cut back their peony bushes in the fall? And what about daylilies? Should those be cut back?
