This is a desert rose. I have lots of experience with plants, but this one confuses me! It likes to drops leaves. It dropped all leaves except for maybe 4 this winter. I figured it was too cold, so I moved it farther away from the chilly window. I think it’s maybe a watering issue? I let it go completely dry before watering again. I don’t think it’s a light issue. It’s has always gotten at least 6 hours of direct light -whether from the sun or a grow light. Now it looks good after regrowing leaves from the winter drop. But I recently watered it and it dropped 8 more leaves! The leaves turn completely yellow and dry before dropping. Are these just really fussy plants or am I missing something?

Hi can anyone help identify what this clear and white crusty residue is on my Swiss cheese plant? I found armored scales on a nearby plant so I am suspicious that they may have caused this but I cannot find a single scale on this plant so I am confused. It is most concentrated on new growth. I use filtered/chlorine free water and this doesn’t look like guttation or mold. Any advice is appreciated!

Calathea help please! My calatheas don’t seem entirely happy with me. I’m getting the occasional yellow leaf from some of them. And multiple have leaves that are under formed and have really thin spots. And then one has what maybe looks like scorch on its leaves. The mix I use is soil+bark+perlite+peat They’re in a north facing window supplemented by grow lights. I try to let them dry out a bit but not too much. Some don’t ever dry out at all. I use a small amount of fertilizer every time I water and only distilled/filtered water Any and all help is appreciated!

Need help with this watermelon peperomia. I bought her about a month ago at a plant store’s annual sale. She has been dropping leaves. I had her hanging in a screened porch area where she probably wasn’t getting enough sun. And I think I was overwatering her. I have moved her indoors to an area of partial sun. She was hanging outside in the sun at the store but I thought these didn’t need full sun. She is still in her original pot and soil. What can I do for her?

Hi! I've got thrips 😭. And it looks like they're pretty widespread. I have a couple of questions that hopefully aren't too obvious. First is App related. Can I mark all my plants as sick in one go? I have too many plants to be going through each one by one diagnosing. I guess I can skip it as I have the schedule for a couple of plants, but for accuracy of recovery, it would be ideal to attach a blanket filter (if you will) in the app. 2nd, I'm wondering if some plants are more resistant, or less favoured by the Thrips? Whilst some plants withered and does in days, my monstera, elephant ear, and philodendron seem like they have been affected, but only a little, and look much more likely to pull through? 3rd. I'm a bit anchor of spraying my propagating plants with strong pesticide? Will they be OK? (monstera and philodendron in water, with happy roots currently). Thanks for your time and feedback! Going to go give them all a shower and a good spray now!

Hey guys! First time plant dad and as the saying goes, “The first one is always the hardest “! I have a Croton Petra and I’m kinda confused on whether I over watered my plant or if there’s thrips. Planta diagnosed the condition as thrips and I’m not so sure after viewing some of the comments in this thread. Here is the picture of how it looked earlier today before three leaves fell off. Anyone know what’s going on? I also sprayed it with neem oil just in case it was thrips.

So this is my first time treating one of my plants. She has aphids per the app diagnosis and the app said to wash her down with either soapy water or use neem oil? Has anyone had success with this? I’ve already quarantine her so hopefully none of the others get it too.

What are these black spots on my ivy leaves?

Has anyone successfully kept anthuriums? How do you do it? This is a picture I pulled from my planta graveyard so there’s no saving it but I’d like to prevent another from joining it in the great greenhouse in the sky if I get brave enough to try again.

Hi, still new to this app in general and this is my first orchid that I’ve rescued from a grocery store. Just wondering if the leaves should look like this or if I should do something about it just cause they don’t look terribly healthy. it seems these are the only two leaves affected the others have a little bit of browning on them, but they don’t have the weird spots in the browning of these to do

My mom is growing zucchini in a planter box in the backyard next to the house and started noticing these white dots and now some leaves are browning on the edges. What’s happening? Is the plant able to be saved? Should she cut off the leaves that are browning? Maybe move them somewhere else? Too much watering? Lots of questions haha

Good morning all, I'm freaking out. I thought my maculata was losing leaves because I repotted and put two together. Now I'm pretty sure these little bugs are what are doing it. Can anybody tell me what they are and what I should do about it? Thank you so much in advance 😱

I’m posting this because I was watering and when I was watering, I noticed my hand brush something and it was a little bird down inside my plant. I don’t know what happened to it but it’s just sitting on top of the soil and I don’t know what to do for it. Does anyone recognize what kind of bird this is or have any idea what I can do to help it?

THRIPSSSS Hi! Everyone! I am currently battling thrips on my Monsteras. 😩 Question is, should I cut off the damaged leaves? It hurts to remove them as they’re the newest and biggest leaves I have so far, but will do if must. I’ve already rinsed them, used insecticidal soap, and probably will apply a mixture of alcohol and water, and the neem oil later. Thank you! 🙏🏽
