Plant Newbie

Hi Everyone, I’m a fairly new plant mom and today I noticed some bugs in my two pothos. I got both two weeks and placed them in my living room along a south wall, so they get indirect light from the north facing windows. Both have chunky soil. They have these tiny white-ish bugs and some other brown-ish centipede-looking bugs crawling in the soil. I hadn’t watered them in the last two weeks because the soil was moist (not sure if that’s a placement issue and/or if that’s contributing to the bug problem). Anyone know what might be happening with my pothos and/or how to get rid of the bugs? 🪴

I was told to put my monstera in a cup of water to help relieve from the current stress it’s under. Please tell me if I’m doing anything wrong! I’m freaking out that my plant might actually die!!! 😭😭😭

HELP!! The fungus gnats are overtaking me!! Hello! I have been dealing with fungus gnats for at least 6 months now, and I cannot get rid of them!! I’ve made sure my plants drain well, tried mosquito bits, water with peroxide, covered in sand, covered in cinnamon, repotted after rinsing the roots with water and hydrogen peroxide, moved everything to plastic pots, sticky traps, added orchid bark and perlite to my soil, everything I can think of!! Any advice?? What has worked for you? I love my plants so much, but I’m so sick of these dumb bugs!! They are the most attracted to my monstera and my Swiss cheese plant for some reason. Photo for attention

I have a self facing window which my plants were directly in. So I moved them away from that window about two weeks ago and watered these plants about two weeks ago. I noticed a week after the move they started to get a little yellow, so I moved them closer to the window thinking that they miss the light. Now they are starting to get more yellow. Mind you I’ve had these plants for about two-three years so I’m not sure if these are just old leaves leaves dying off off

Follow up to my fungus gnat issue in my snake plant. I went with repotting in all new soil and new pot. I also rinsed off the whole plant and roots. Fingers crossed the gnats are gone and the plant thrives in its new environment. 🤞🏼 Thank you for all the advice!

This Thaumatophyllum is really big. It’s like 4 feet across by 3 feet high, and the leaves are 6 inches across. How do I prune it, or prop it up in some fashion that will make it more beautiful and take up less space? It’s just going wild now.

Does anyone have tips on getting rid of grasshoppers? They’re eating some of my plants and I’ve tried several things. TIA 🙏🏼🫶🏼

I was about to water my arrowhead plant until I noticed that one leaf had soft and sort of brown area on it. I wondering if this could be root rot? I also wanted to note that this arrowhead does need to be repotted since it not only has two of it in one pot but they’re both getting very big. Should I hold off on repotting so I don’t cause anymore stress to it or should I look further at the roots to see if it has root? Or I should I not be worried at all? I would be surprised if it had root rot since I try to wait as long as I can until the soil is close to or is completely dry.

I’ve had this monstera for close to 4 years and the bottom leaves started yellowing. I cut off 3 a few months ago and two more are starting to look yellow. It sits in this corner with light from the sliding door (SOUTH) and the window behind it (EAST) Is this old growth? Or a watering issue? I’ve never had an issue with this plant but it hasn’t been putting out new growth lately

So can anyone tell me why my spider plant which is still actively growing went from bright green to this light color. If you click the plant you can see the difference

Help!! My plants keep dying. The dirt’s really hard, and I might be overwatering but I wait 7+ days in between and they look like they're wilting/are dry before watering. Plus, in the 2nd pic, the roots are kind of all scraggly and at the top. Is that normal? What can I do? 🍃 🪴

Help, the app told me my little petunia is not doing so well, anyone know of a good organic remedy to help with the mealy bugs infestation? I’m also scared to prune it but I think it needs it

Do these browning tips of leaves look like underwatering or overwatering?
