What’s wrong with him? The moisture meter says dry. Maybe I’m not watering enough? Is the soil too “high drain”? Is it too cold (sometimes this room gets down in the 50s)?

I have a new shoot coming up but it has been stagnant for weeks now and will not grow. I water when the soil is dry and just added fertilizer to it about a week ago. The leaves have been stuck in this curled position for weeks now and won’t die or grow. Can someone please offer some advice?!

My rose is absolutely covered in aphids without a single ladybird in sight! It's only a small plant, and I don't want them to kill it, but nor do I want to kill them :( Can anyone help? Tips on repelling without killing would be highly appreciated

What do I do with the dying Arms? (I fertilized them)

HELP! What do I do with him? I’ve had him for like two weeks. He had like 6 leaves when I got him. Then a couple started yellowing, then drooping, then soft and dark yellow. I cut them off. The leaf on the left is actually a baby that just came out & it already hates its life 😒 now my last leaf is down bad. Anything I can do? Or do I move him to the graveyard? Ugh.

I’m so sorry this is a bad photo. I have had a few of these hugs around my house. I’m trying to figure out if it is from plants or something else! Any help is great. It is very tiny (a few milliliters) and doesn’t seem to fly.

Does my monstera I just got have Thrips? I’m new to plants and the nursery I got her from said how healthy she was. She used to have spider mites and they got rid of them but they had her for 8 months. She looked fine to me but I just brought her home yesterday and wiped her leaves down today and saw these white things on some leaves. They look like fluffy white spider webs in a way but I sprayed it and wiped it down with neem oil wipes. Any help would be appreciated

Hello! My Golden Pothos seems to always have a handful of leaves with these brown dead spots on them. What causes this? Aside from this, the plants looks great and is steadily growing. Just wondering what I need to change to fix this issue. Thanks!

I’ve taken over care of these Christmas cacti, dad has had them for about 6 years and the big one has never been repotted. It doesn’t smell like root rot but look at her 🥲what do I do? The little one is actually flowering but still crispy. Help! Thank you!

My first alocasia is losing a leaf (classic, i know). I wanted to check w yall what might cause this to catch a problem early. I am aware that thrips live in my home, but i keep them under control as good as i can. Im looking to know if this might be a watering, light or soil issue. I think i might have it logged as the wrong species on planta too lol, there were so many to choose from ToT

Is there any saving this Aloe plant? If so how can I do it?

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
