My philodendron got super sunburnt after I moved it to a new window before leaving for vacation. How can I help it recover?

Please help!!! Two of my monstera leaves began turning yellow and brown about a week ago, i wasn’t sure why i brought it downstairs to put it in some sunlight but nothing seems to be working. Should I trim them down?

Hey guys! New plant dad here, and I get horrible anxiety for my plants when I feel something is wrong. And yes, I’ve been googling, but perhaps someone has more useful knowledge here. I have plants in my window, and they’re doing great. However, I have a shelf of plants that use a grow light, as my window options are filled up. However, these grow light plants seem to have the soil stay wet for much longer… too much longer in fact. I keep hitting snooze on Planta multiple watering days due to soil being quite wet still. Am I giving them too much water? Or is the evaporation of my grow lights just not cutting it? Any advice would be nice because I obviously want to avoid root rot. Thanks for reading!

Another fight with aphids and a few ants! The last 3 sets of aphids were orange. These are black. I wiped them off my Hoya Filiformis with an isopropyl alcohol solution. I’m so tired! 🫩😫

I recently purchased this Hawaiian palm from an online store and when I got it, I checked the soil and it was dry before I watered it with filtered water. A couple of days ago, my Cassie’s leaves are turning yellow. I have just cut 2 off and not sure about this third leaf. I have also checked for pests and cannot see anything. Can anyone help with letting me know what’s wrong, please 😭😭?

Hi all! Took a look at my Krimson Princess Hoya today and I noticed all those spots. They rub off easily with my finger. My first thought was a pest of some sort, but I dot see anything that looks bug like or 3D at all - just these splotches. They are all over and I didn’t notice them any other day this week when I’ve been looking at all of my plants. Thoughts?

Hello! Not a pest question! As you can see from my pics my zzz plant isn’t that beautiful anymore. I had to trim some of the stems because they got super long and curly but I didn’t trim them correctly so I had to chop it down. Just wondering what I can do to make it look nicer. Repot? (It’s still growing new leaves it’s not a lost cause yet!)

I’ve had my neon pothos for a few weeks now and have been wondering what the damage on these leaves are from! I’ve been watering with mosquito bits and spraying with diluted neem while it’s in quarantine, but I’m still nervous to put it with the rest of my collection. I decided to cut off the worst ones today. What are these dots?

I currently keep finding these weird black bugs that crawl into the soil of my plants. I’ve tried putting on cinnamon on the plant soil and it’s still not working and I’ve tried sticky traps. How do I get rid of these stupid little piss

When I put my flowers into the pot, for some reason, they started to die with water and sunlight. I don’t know what to do.

What can I do to help hydrate her? She is a Walmart rescue! I’ve had her for 3 weeks or so now. I cut off her shoots today since one was dying and the other was long and lanky with no blooms and watered her very thoroughly. She’s wrinkled and very thin and floppy. Is watering her more frequently the only bet I have to help her?
