Monstera leaves are drooping. I repotted it a week or two ago because it was so root bound (see second photo). I had to loosen up the roots which made me lose a bunch, but the rest were thick and very healthy! I’m seeing now that the leaves are drooping and the bottom leaves were turning yellow (cut them off yesterday). What do I do?

I have had three battles with aphids this spring including both green and orange aphids. They are all within an area both inside and outside my kitchen window. I got so tired that I just used insecticide which I usually try to avoid because it takes out beneficial insects as well. But, It works and is the last option before tossing out the plant. It’s a Hoya Gigantanganesis in a 4 inch pot I bought 10 months ago.

Why is my vanilla orchid upset? The big leaf is browning. I just moved it to a sunnier spot. Im not an expert in orchids.

False shamrock. It first arrived root bound and completely drooping. Has done amazing progress and all leaves are perking up much more now. However the plant still continues to droop and be messy and has these green marks on the leaves. I sorted the roots and everything and rarely water it but it stays wet. It has drainage. I dont see pests anywhere What is happening? My humidity in the room is often 65-75+ as im in the woods could this be why?

Fiddle leaf fig new leaves are showing reddish brown spots also more crinkly looking. Was thinking previous owner had inconsistent watering patterns? Could be edema? I’ve checked everywhere and 0 signs of pests. New leaves seem very flimsy at first but always strengthen up after about 1-2 weeks. Please lmk if you have any ideas! Recently misted. Well draining soil and regular watering now. About 3 feet from east/southeast facing windows.

EDIT: The piece I found already had these two leaves and a root. I think it fell out of its original plant and then I found it. I put it in soil since it already had roots, about an inch big, and the next day AFTER planting- this is what the leaves looked like. Should I just leave it alone? Does it need more sun? Found a piece of a Lemon Lime Philodendron detached from main plant with a root at Home Depot. I took it home, put it in some soil to see if it would propagate, watered it, and now it has these brown spots and started slightly yellowing. Any suggestions?

Hi All, I have flies infestation in my indoor plants, and I am not sure how can I kill all larvae in the soil. I tried anti fungus, other products but nothing. Thanks

we are new to being plant parents and having these two plants. we would like some help if anyone can? all of a sudden yesterday, we noticed yellowing but aren’t sure what we’re doing wrong. we’re going to repot the corkscrew today or tomorrow and i noticed this morning the soil in the alocasia is quite damp so maybe that? any help is great, thankyou 🤣

Hey! All my plants have developed these tears and holes. They’re otherwise growing normally. I’ve been checking them obsessively for bugs, but can’t see anything. Any ideas?

Hi I’m a total beginner in planting 😄 I got this monstera about 2 months ago. It sits on the ground near a west-facing window and I water it every week. I started mixing food plant in the water starting 2 weeks ago. It has not been growing and the leaves don’t look very happy 🥲 Any advice??

Hi there! How do I cure thrips? My Dieffenbachia seguine and my Blushing Philodendron are currently infested…. I’ve given them both a rinse with warm water in the shower but I was hoping for something more effective. Thanks!

Please help identifying a pest!! There are so many of these little guys in the bottom of my alocasia’s decorative pot. They are very tiny and some are almost iridescent, don’t appear to be able to fly, but move quickly. I’ve only seen a few on the plant itself. Any thoughts on what it could be and how to treat are appreciated!

Is this monstera getting too much sun? Not sure what's wrong with it. I water it when the soil is bone dry should I water more? Advice please. New plant owner
