Help! My mini Esther is in a shaded area of my living room and gets a fair amount of indirect light each day. I’ve been also watering her according to Planta instructions. However, the stems and leaves have been browning and falling off and it’s not growing so it’s lost a lot of volume and length. It’s progressively getting worse. I know once I left it in an inch of water for too long but otherwise I’ve always waited until it’s like 60-80% ish dry before watering it. I read online that it could be under watering, overwatering, or not enough sun, but that Esther’s do better in shade. What am I doing wrong?

Friend recently found thrips in her gerbera. Now she sees black spots on the bottom of the leaves on one of her plants.

Can you guys help me? All the new growth on my creeping Jenny is brown. It is currently hydroponically planted, it used to be in dirt but I ended up with a gnat problem and after some research I found it could plant these hydroponically and it would thrive. Then the brown tips starting showing up and I’m lost, I didn’t read anything about this and all I can find is that it might be taking up to much water? Help please!

What disease is this

I think I have a thrips infestation. This one (first photo) has been struggling but it’s new and I figured it was just do to a lack of water or fertilizer. It has only gotten worse and after looking at it again today I noticed brown dots on all the brown spots. Upon further research I think it is thrips, can anyone confirm? I then went around and noticed small spots on my foliage plants (last photo) on nearby shelves. Only one plant and some cuttings (second photo) are bad and I just tossed them but any suggestions for my other plants? I keep seeing insecticide soap but would neem oil also work here? Thank you so much for the help!

What are these? Hello friends, I was watering my fiddle leaf fig plant today and I noticed some small white and purple pieces in the soil, and when you squeeze them, they kind of pop (see pics below) I’m worried it might be a nest or something. Does anyone know what this could be? I haven’t repotted or changed the soil since I bought it a few months ago from the store. I appreciate it it you help about this

I have a majesty palm that’s struggling. I repotted from the nursery pot five weeks ago and it’s been mostly unhealthy. I’ve watered, but didn’t think too much. The top of the soil is dry and crumbly but the bottom is still moist and the fronds rapidly turned. I think it’s too wet, but how do I fix?

😭😭😭😭 My first ever pest infestation after over a year of plant parenting.I cut this leaf off cause at first I thought it was the only infected one and it was a crappy leaf that’s been on the plant since I got it anyway but I see it’s on another leaf too. The surrounding plants weren’t very close to it but they look unaffected and I’ve moved it away. Spider mites right? What do i do?!? 😭

I got this hoya Hindu Rope about a month ago, and I watered it a week or so after getting it to let it dry out. But when I watered it, it started showing signs of root rot, as the leaves started turning mushy. I repotted and gave it more gritty mix to let it dry out easier. I let it sit for a few days to get used to the new soil before I watered and now here we are a week later she still is hating me and leaves are turning yellow and falling off, but they're not mushy anymore. Please help! She's variegated and coated me $50 and I want her to THRIVE!!

Hello all. I have a question regarding my monstera growth. I’ve had it for around 2-3 months now and around a month and a half ago it put out the beautiful inner fenestrated leaf pictured far right. But now it seems to be putting out a leaf with no fenestrations? I am confused as to why it would do this when I have it under the same grow light as before a 9 watt Feit (i believe that is the brand) grow bulb. I’ve had success with other monstera under it. I did treat it a few weeks ago with neem for what i suspected was spider mites but that seems to have resolved itself as well. I’ve wondered if I should just got and get a SANSI bulb. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Can anyone help me figure out what wrong with my zz plant?? I bought this plant a few months back in a similar glass jar with the same cork top and lava rocks as picture. It seemed mostly healthy when I bought it, with the exception of two small white spots on one of the leaves. Shortly after buying it the original glass broke on the bottom so I had to transfer it to this other jar. Since then it’s seemed mostly fine but hasn’t grown at all, I keep it on a bookshelf across the room from my west facing window and I keep both my blinds open all day so it receives bright but indirect light all day. The last few days I’ve noticed it looking yellowed so, thinking it needed more light I was placing it in brighter spots throughout the day, including my south and west facing windows. Now today it looks even more yellow and I’ve noticed a brown spot, which I assume is sun damage from the last two days. I’m just not sure how to help this plant anymore? The only things I can think of are to change the water or container, remove some of the rocks, or entirely repot the plant in a terracotta pot. This is my first zz so I’m just not sure, any ideas??

Carnivorous Plants Fungus Gnats Hi all, As we know carnivorous plants require lots of watering, often with the soil staying damp. How do you deal with fungus gnats when this is the case? I have a drosera that is thriving in all manners except for gnats. Thanks

Hi! I woke up this morning to my plant starting to wilt, and I’m not sure what could be upsetting her. All of her leaves are normally as happy as the ones at the very top. Any ideas?
