Just bought a Monstera Thai Constellation, and I noticed three little bumps, at the bottom of a stem. Not quite sure what is it and I’m scared to find out 😅 Does someone know? Thanks for guiding a newbie!

Hello! Im in need of some advice. I’m very puzzled by these marks/damage on the leaves of all of my plants. I have one big jade Pothos living in an aquarium with a Monstera adansonii and a Monstera esqueleto as well. And in the same room I have my Heart shaped Philodendron, Golden Pothos, and Whale fin Snake plant all hanging up near the aquarium and they all have been doing very well for months now since spring but in the past day or two I’ve noticed strange holes/damage on every single plant’s leaves. I’ve look EXTENSIVELY for spider mites but I see no webbing or other signs of them. Could this be cause by another plant pest? Or maybe a fungal or bacterial problem? I’m stumped.. UPDATE: it’s spider mites …💔🥀 the only good news is I caught them early before they started webbing on anything. There in the dirt that’s where I eventually found them😭 absolutely bane of my existence I have gotten them before and without fail a couple of my plants die. I’ve used the alcohol/water/soap solution and spray down with water method and more harsh insecticide chemicals but NOTHING has worked. (I’ve recently learned that insecticides don’t work for mites) so a chemical mite treatment is honestly my last resort. If anyone has suggestions for SPIDER MITE EXTERMINATION 💥 Please let me know it’s greatly appreciated! : )

Help! Got this pilea about a week ago i noticed it had fungus gnats flying over it i panicked and even tho i watered it the same day i got it i repotted it and watered it again with mosquito bits like 3 days later. Is it overwatering even when i changed the soil? It’s drooping a bit and black random spots on leaves :( or is it fungal? I read if it is i have to cut the leaves befor eit spreads! Im new to plants 😭

Does this fern have any hope? The leaves are dry, but still have some color. It hasn’t changed much in the past 2 months. I’m thinking it’s dead…advise please :)

I was really hoping this was just a mineral buildup on my Hoya from my hard water, but then someone said mealy bugs 😩 What’s your opinion please?

So, I think I might have some springtails in one of my pots. Idk how to get rid of them or even if I should. there doesn’t seem to be a ton of them, but it is a new plant that I have in a room with a bunch of other plants. There’s really not a lot of them and honestly, I spent probably five minutes trying to find one too be able to take a picture of it, but I still don’t want it infestation if it’s not ok to have them and if they’re going to multiply rapidly. Also, I’ve had a plant for quite a bit that randomly started giving me nats and when I put it outside, I’m still seeing nats in my bathroom somewhere. (photo of one that I squished below) How I found out it was that pot was just blowing on the soil and a bunch coming out, but I’ve done the same thing to all my other pots and I can’t find the culprit. I’ve never had any problems. I have gotten two new plants, but one of them is the one above with the springtails and the other one doesn’t seem to have anything wrong with it at all.

I only have the space to put the hydrangeas in full sun - I bought a ‘plant shade’ for them but am worried about them. (No, I didn’t know until after I planted that they are not full sun. This is my first time 😅) Thoughts?

Can my plant be saved? It’s a Pink Polka Dot

Whats going on here with my snake plant? It’s only the one leaf that looks like this. I wondered about root rot but why would it only be one leaf? Last watered 24 days ago, then again today. I noticed this happening within the last month. I’ve had him over 3 years.

It’s been a while since I’ve used this app or posted here but I’ve had a little accident and require some outside opinions.. Maybe like a week ago or so my mom accidentally closed top of the printer on my aloe, and it’s taken quite a bit of damage. I was wondering what I should do because it’s no longer firm near the base of this one leaf, I can wiggle it up and down pretty freely. Near the base of this leaf, it looks like there’s some shriveling and browning, but the leaf itself everywhere else looks ok and is firm. There is also some slight discoloration near the end of the leaf.

My app is telling me to repot almost all of my plants right now. That’s about 30 plants!! Is that necessary if they are doing well?

Which pests look like black or grey dots (size of a pinprick)? I never would have noticed them until I looked EXTREMELY hard after I saw some yellowing on my dumb cane. I don’t have a magnifying glass but it doesn’t appear that they fly. Just teeny tiny dots that I can smush. Thanks!

Why are big chunks of my Christmas cactus branches falling off (he is 10 years old and I’m really attached to him ) pls help 🆘
Aisha
This is my poinsettia that I’m trying to resurrect. All its leaves fell, and so I repotted it with fresh soil. I think the problem was that we overwatered it and never repotted it. i if anybody has experiences saving poinsettias, please do share!!!

What is this on my succulent?

I’ve had this little pilea for around a month now, and recently some of the bottom leaves are turning yellow and dying off. It might be just shedding of old leaves (since it still has new growth), but I wanted to see what y’all thought

HELP!! I got this Peace Lily 7 weeks ago at my mom’s funeral. The leaves keep turning yellow. On here it has said either too much water or not enough sun. I have moved it to my sunniest spot (although we are very cloudy this week), followed weekly watering guidelines, and used a grow light. On Thursday I removed yellow leaves and ran the grow light. Friday it looked perfect, and Saturday it had more yellow leaves than ever. How much should I water it each week? I am NOT good at keeping plants alive, but because of where I got it, I am desperate to succeed this time. Please help me!

This is a rescue I saved from extreme dehydration and too much sunlight. She likes her new spot, but is still slightly purple from the sunburn and I mean no hate towards her (but she’s just not very cute) she has tons of brown Ariel roots coming from everywhere and she just keeps growing more stalks instead of growing taller. Shes been healthy for a year now. Is she just an oddball or am I missing something?

Help! My monstera I thought was initially making a new leaf but it’s browning. Any ideas on the problem?

My mom’s two hydrangeas aren’t looking too hot… are they fully out of commission or can I save them?
