Hi! My flamingo lily is losing leaves :( The app says it’s been overwatered. I’m seeing dry and crispy leaves as well as some being discolored and yellow. For a while, it was placed near a heater which I assumed left it under-watered/dried out. It has been relocated now, so I’m surprised to see it diagnosed as over-watered. I give it 6 ice cubes once a week as instructed by the packaging it came with. I plan to resoil it in the next few days. Looking for feedback!
Does anyone know what this mouldy fungus would be? It’s at the bottom of the pot and when giving a good hose down with the shower the water ran out a yellow colour?

My lemon tree has spider mites. I’ve been spraying with neem oil daily for almost two weeks and the issue does not seem to be going away. I recently removed the citrus plant food sticks from the soil to reduce the nitrogen they like. Some leaves have dropped and I had to cut a few very damaged ones. Any suggestions on clearing up the spider mites?

Does a puppy count as a pest? no idea but i need help keeping a certain little guy away from my plant shelf? Any tips for keeping a puppy away from vulnerable plants? He's taking plants off the shelf and trying to eat them and is constantly chewing on my tree despite the fact that he is outside for 20 minutes every hour to do his thing. My mother said to try cinnamon but the puppy ate all the cinimmon sticks-
Trying to troubleshoot my pilea- I’ve had her for about 6 months, and over the last 2ish months I’ve noticed a substantial increase in the amount of leaf dropping- left picture is a few months ago, right is now.

Hi there! I cannot figure out what this guy needs! Actually, ever since I was gifted this plant he hasn’t been happy😐. I have repotted him in a bigger pot about a month ago, and I don’t feel I over water.. however the sunlight maybe be an issue? As soon as new leaves sprout, other leaves start to brown! Please help, what could be the problem?

Hi all. I have a burgundy rubber plant that I’ve had for about a month. The big, established leaves on the top are happy and good. The under leaves though, just fell off and look like this. They fell off with a slight touch. They are dry and crispy, not wet and mushy. No other leaf looks like these two; there are not spots of any kind on any other leaves. Any ideas?
My white knight has started to go brown, can someone help troubleshoot?
I have this white powder on the soil of my polka dot Begonia. Is this beneficial or bad?
Ok 2 things I would love advice on. First: my bonsai has white stuff at the base. I have no idea what it is and what I should do. It also has a spot on a leaf pictured below. Second and more importantly: my mom’s aloe plant (I believe) is leaning and the base is yellow with the leaves near the base crumbling. I think it might have been overwatered previously. Thanks so much.
my aloe plant that i’ve had for a while now all of a sudden got this brown hue to it. any ideas as to what’s the problem? any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve been growing this plant in water. It’s been doing excellent except for this white stuff that’s growing on it. Idk if it’s mold or hard water build up. Anyone have advice. Also the roots are starting to look fuzzy
