why did nobody tell me about diatomaceous earth sooner? this stuff is a live saver. i’ve tried multiple methods for pest prevention or solution (including neem oil) and this has been the best thing by far.

Hi all! This is the only plant of mine that has this really weird silver mold, I’ve never seen it before. I’ve tried neem oil like I do on any other plants that develop that weird yellow mold and the yellow mold always goes away, but this silver mold will not go away! 🥲 Any thoughts on how to treat it, or should I just perhaps repot it with newer better soil?

I repotted my snake plant a couple of weeks ago. Today I noticed some dried up leaves at the base. Is this normal, or did I cause lasting damage to the plant?

I feel like my Boston fern isn’t as green and spunky as he was when I first purchased. Based off his appearance, any experienced plant parents know what might be going on?

My adansonii is pushing out new leaves constantly but so many of the tips are brown. What does this mean?

Good day! How do you defeat the dreaded squash vine borers? This is the 3rd year in a row they’ve eaten my squash zucchini and cucumbers from the inside out!

I’ve noticed small black gnats the last 2 or 3 days, specifically around my Sage babies (haven’t directly seen them in any other pots). This is a fully indoor set up as I’ve just started learning how to grow herbs from seed this summer, so I’m not sure how the gnats got in or if they developed from overly wet soil. 😣 I tried the apple cider vinegar with a bit of dish soap that I read from another post in here. Wondering if this is the best approach for now or if I should try something else? For context these sage babies were planted from seed on July 9th, so they are doing well but still very young! So I want to handle with extra care 👍🏻 thank you!

I just took over taking care of this snake plant. I’ve been doing some research about why it is so droopy but I’m not sure if it’s because of overwatering or not enough sun? Any advice?

Moved house and I put this plant in a a conservatory room and it quickly looked like it died on the sunny side so moved it into a cooler and shadowy room 🪴 and went a bit better for a while and now more leaves are dying 🙈 Any help would be much appreciated 😊

I got a cutting of a prayer plant and I’ve had it in water for about a month. It rooted and has a new leaf growing. I noticed that the leaves started tucking in. I repotted it today and put a grow light but then I read the tucking in might be because too much light. I had the cutting next to my aerogarden so maybe the light was too bright? I took the grow light off and put it in a south facing window. What do you guys think? Will indirect light help it?

My corn plant is getting these spots. Any recommendations? Should I cut the leave off? Should I re-pot it the plant?. I thought that maybe these spots came about because of me watering in the center. It’s a lovely plant. Please help. Thanks!

I have a meelybug infestation that I'm battling. The problem that I'm having is that from having to wipe down the leaves of my monstera adansonii, they are getting damaged. The leaves are splitting and falling off. The same with one of my bird of paradise. All the leaves have tears in them. Any options to protect the leaves? It's causing me some distress.

I got this umbrella plant a few weeks ago and it’s slowly getting worse and I’m not sure what to do, any advice?

I just received this Variegated Hoya Compacta in the mail a few days ago. I have been searching online to identify these spots…Unfortunately I have not found much. Does anyone know what this is?

Hi plant people! Anyone have any idea why the bottom of this Norfolk Island pine is brown and leaves are falling off?

Hello is it normal for string of turtles to lose these little “antennas” I’ve had it since May and it’s never dropped of them so I just want to make sure I’m not the one causing it. Everything has stayed the same I got it watering, location and temp of the room it’s in it gets the same amount of light since it hasn’t been moved.

I am unsure as to what is wrong with my Alocasia Amazonica, over the past few weeks i have noticed this dry crispy spot, figured the leaf might just be getting old and the plant will shoot out a new one

I think I’m losing one lol. I’ve had it under the grow lights, I’ve had it outside in the sun. I e made sure it’s not sitting in water. Can it be saved? Is it too far gone?
