I have a pothos in semi hydro with LECA and I saw these small bugs crawling around near the water. Rinsed the bottom container out last night but they’re back this morning. I think I may have thrips on some of my other plants, but not sure if these are also thrips?? I thought thrips only lived in the foliage, so I’m confused as to how they could be all the way down in the container like this. Or maybe it’s a different type of pest?? Please advise!
Also this plant is under a grow light in a greenhouse IKEA cabinet for 12 hours per day

Help! I bought my new allocasia from Aldi about 1-2 weeks ago. She has a lot of new growth, but also had a few bad leaves that I cut off. The last leaf turned yellow and mushy and I cut it off but that one was already yellow when I bought it. Now, im noticing small dry brown patches. Does anyone know why and what I should do to help prevent them from getting bigger?

So this poor fella was attacked by my toddler. The leaves that fell are in propagation. She is under growth light 10-12 hrs. What can I expect from her? Is she gonna grow new leaves in his stem?

What is wrong with this tree limb?

Cinnamon anyone? Fungus gnats.
We've noticed a bit of an uptick in our fungus gnats lately - I've been trying to let our soil dry out a bit more while we focus on moving, in hopes we can purge the little buggers prior to the move but I'm looking for some extra ammo.
I've heard cinnamon is good, but is that okay for all soil plants? Do I sprinkle it before or after watering? Should I put out some essential oils?
Any help is appreciated, thank you!!!

I’ve had this peace lily for a few months. First pic is from purchase, and it struggled with flowers wilting before fully blooming and just looking crumpled; so I split them and placed them in hydroponics, giving nutrients every so often and in shade more than sun. But while I’m seeing a few new leaves, I see 2 older leaves browning (larger one-bottom middle pic). They have not thrived and definitely no flowers. I see so many beautiful pics of peace lilies from many of you. Would love suggestions. Thanks

My Alocasia has had some spotting. I can’t tell if it’s suffering from root damage or if it’s ready to go dormant. Any advice? 🍃🌱

HEEELP!!
This pest (thrips) is destroying my plants!!😫😭
I have a *Guaco* plant (Mikania glomerata) that’s in a pretty bad situation.. because I didn't want to use any toxins —thinking it wouldn't be great to make tea from it later... 🥲 I had cleaned all the leaves with vinegar and cut off the infested ones... but I got back from a trip and it's in a terrible state.🥺
What should I do friends??

Can someone help me with my pilea? The leaves have been getting lighter. It has new growth and a bunch of new babies. I did report it into a bigger pot. But nothing is improving the color and the growth of the leaves. Also, the leaves are curling inward, so I backed it up from the grow light, but they are still curved.

My inch plant is starting to get these brown patches on its leaves. It doesn’t seem to be affecting the growth so far but it’s spreading to other leaves. I asked chat gpt and it said to cut all the leaves that had it so I did but it just came back. Do I need to worry, and if yes what should I do?

Is this scale? Planta says it might also be edema. It’s not easy to scrape off and takes the skin off the leaves when I try. Very healthy plant overall. Thanks!

Any recommendations to make this plant grow and thrive? These were propagated from its parent plant (which died last summer). But these have since been like this for a very long time.

My orchid -Lavender has developed some brown and yellow spots on the leaves. But it has new leaf growing and flowering as well. Any tips to it healthy and happy again!?
I water it with filtered water when it dries out completely. But I did leave it outside in the sun for a day & maybe it was too hot for the leaves ??

Help! I have flea beetles and am treating plants tonight with diatomaceous (food grade). Should I use anything else with this? My poor banana peppers and I just got rid of spider mites.

A few of my plants have brown water draining out the bottom when I water them. Is that an issue?
