ever since i found this pest schedule on tiktok from Licia’s Leaves my pests are GONE. as someone with over 100 plants i’ve been looking for a simplified pest schedule and this works great. it’s the time of year for me when my plants start to be moved inside from my front patio, this schedule has wiped out mealy, mites, and gnats for me.

How do I get more variegated leaves on my syngonium?

I have 4 indoor plants and am seeing gnats for the first time. I bought the tacky cut outs and they seem to be working at trapping the gnats.
Any other suggestions?

Help! What’s happening to my monstera?
She was doing great until the past two months when she slowly over time started developing these rust colored spots on her leaves. What do I do?

My crown of thorn may or may not be fully gone but I’d like to give her one last try. This is symptom of severe dryness and then severe water rot…
Should I cut anything off the help her? Or simply put in a small pot. Should I let her dry out like you do with succulent props?
She just lost all of her leaves, she hasn’t been like this toooo long. ☹️

I was going to put this in the ORCHIDS group, but think here instead!
What’s munchin’ on my poor Orchid?

Hi All! I have this Red Aglaonema in my office. It appears to be stretching I’m unsure what to do, but it doesn’t look good. Open to any advice! Thank you :)

One of my cissus Ellen Danica plants (oak leaf ivy) has been struggling for some time. I have repotted and given plenty of sun, water and liquid fertiliser – conditions in which my others thrive. This app suggests that common pests include Mealy bugs, thrips or spider mites.
Anyone else have this problem?

Hey all- I just found one of my plants infested in little ants. I took it outside, what should I do now? It’s by itself and it doesn’t look like any of my other plants are infested yet.

Hey everyone! I’ve had this Gold Dust Croton for a little over a year now. It started out super full of foliage, but around February it started losing its bottom leaves and now looks like this. Has anyone experienced something similar or have suggestions for how to fix her?
I keep her under a grow light for 12-14 hours a day and water her once every few days, if not more. Thank you so much in advance!

My fiddle plant has some leaves that are partially dry. Should I cut them off and what causes it?

I’ve had this monstera for a bit now. Do you think it needs a wider pot with more soil? The inner pot width is ~10inchs.

My carnivore is looking poorly. I had him close to a north facing window. In addition to move him under a growth light, should I remove the glass dome? I only use distilled water for watering

I don’t know if anyone can help with my extremely sad Peperomia Quito, but I will gladly take any opinions and knowledge I can get. Left pic is when I got it, right pic is what it looks like today 😭
I had this Quito shipped to me from out of state VIA Etsy and it arrived at my home on September 12th. The plant looked healthy overall with only a couple of leaves showing blackened edges. But I noticed right away the soil was extremely wet, almost mud-like so I repotted it into new soil. I use Grow Queen Aroid mix for my Peperomias because they usually thrive in it. It comes pre-moistened and so I didn’t water the plant after repotting. I have had it sitting in a south-facing window that doesn’t get direct sunlight this time of year due to a building next door blocking direct rays, but it gets decent ambient light.
Fast forward to today. This thing has COMPLETELY flopped over. A couple of leaves have mushy brown stems that I removed and the stems are so mushy the leaves fall right off the stems without me applying any force to them. I moved the plant into a west-facing window that gets direct sunlight in the afternoon that I filter with blinds. What else can I do for this plant? Is this from overwatering like I’m suspecting, or does it actually need water and I’m completely misreading the situation?
I don’t want to overcorrect and do a million things to an already stressed plant, but I also can’t sit by and do nothing, either. Anything anyone can recommend is extremely helpful, thank you so much in advance!

I’m hoping someone can help me out. I have gnats and use mosquito bits every watering. Can I add my liquid fertilizer with the mosquito tea? I am using Grow Queen 5-5-5. Photo for fun! I love new leaves!!

Found this on my new monstera? It’s currently just a cutting propagated in water.

Does anyone know what to do?? My calathea hasn't been doing the best this week. Google told me she needed more humidity but that doesn't seem to be working. She’s been getting worse over the last few days with one of her leaves rolling up and wilting, and the other ones look a little lower too. Advice would be very appreciate, Cathy needs to live 🙏🙏🙏

I have an Alocasia Scalprum that I just got. It had been watered the day I got it so I was holding off watering and monitoring the soil on when to water next. I look at it today and I had yellow leaves that rotted off at the base and what looked like mold.
I hadn’t watered it so I don’t think this is because of overwatering. I just don’t want it to harm the rest of the plant! Any advice on treating the mold and saving what I have left?
