False shamrock. It first arrived root bound and completely drooping. Has done amazing progress and all leaves are perking up much more now. However the plant still continues to droop and be messy and has these green marks on the leaves. I sorted the roots and everything and rarely water it but it stays wet. It has drainage. I dont see pests anywhere What is happening? My humidity in the room is often 65-75+ as im in the woods could this be why?
I’ve been noticing some holes and tears in my golden pothos. does it have a disease or anything, or could it be bugs? my other pothos died so i’m trying really hard to keep this one alive haha
Fiddle leaf fig new leaves are showing reddish brown spots also more crinkly looking. Was thinking previous owner had inconsistent watering patterns? Could be edema? I’ve checked everywhere and 0 signs of pests. New leaves seem very flimsy at first but always strengthen up after about 1-2 weeks. Please lmk if you have any ideas! Recently misted. Well draining soil and regular watering now. About 3 feet from east/southeast facing windows.
EDIT: The piece I found already had these two leaves and a root. I think it fell out of its original plant and then I found it. I put it in soil since it already had roots, about an inch big, and the next day AFTER planting- this is what the leaves looked like. Should I just leave it alone? Does it need more sun? Found a piece of a Lemon Lime Philodendron detached from main plant with a root at Home Depot. I took it home, put it in some soil to see if it would propagate, watered it, and now it has these brown spots and started slightly yellowing. Any suggestions?
Hi All, I have flies infestation in my indoor plants, and I am not sure how can I kill all larvae in the soil. I tried anti fungus, other products but nothing. Thanks
we are new to being plant parents and having these two plants. we would like some help if anyone can? all of a sudden yesterday, we noticed yellowing but aren’t sure what we’re doing wrong. we’re going to repot the corkscrew today or tomorrow and i noticed this morning the soil in the alocasia is quite damp so maybe that? any help is great, thankyou 🤣
Hey! All my plants have developed these tears and holes. They’re otherwise growing normally. I’ve been checking them obsessively for bugs, but can’t see anything. Any ideas?
Hey guys! Can you all help me identify this bug? I’ve noticed it on my new plants as well that have moist soil. They are everywhere and they are so annoying ! 😔 Any help will do thank you friends!
Hey yall. This is my baby. She’s been so healthy and growing good. I’ve noticed these and I’m nervous something is happening. I know she needs more humidity. I’m working on that but is this anything I need to treat or do something g about?
Hi I’m a total beginner in planting 😄 I got this monstera about 2 months ago. It sits on the ground near a west-facing window and I water it every week. I started mixing food plant in the water starting 2 weeks ago. It has not been growing and the leaves don’t look very happy 🥲 Any advice??
Hi there! How do I cure thrips? My Dieffenbachia seguine and my Blushing Philodendron are currently infested…. I’ve given them both a rinse with warm water in the shower but I was hoping for something more effective. Thanks!
Please help identifying a pest!! There are so many of these little guys in the bottom of my alocasia’s decorative pot. They are very tiny and some are almost iridescent, don’t appear to be able to fly, but move quickly. I’ve only seen a few on the plant itself. Any thoughts on what it could be and how to treat are appreciated!
Is this monstera getting too much sun? Not sure what's wrong with it. I water it when the soil is bone dry should I water more? Advice please. New plant owner
I finally saw whatever is destroying my rose. What is this and how can I kill it?
My plant’s roots turned brown and the leaves fell off. help! my plant was thriving upstairs in an area with lots of bright, indirect sunlight, and it had lots of healthy roots with 3 healthy leaves on the stem. i moved it to my room and put it in an area with more direct sunlight, and the roots turned brown and the leaves all turned yellow and fell off. the stem is still green and healthy but the roots are a mess. what happened? and is there any way to save it? all feedback is very appreciated :)
Please help! I bought this variegated jade plant off Etsy and it was just delivered today. The packaging was completely sealed and it wasn’t damaged, but when I opened it, it was COVERED in EARWIGS! I didn’t know what type of bug they were until later, and my mom wanted me to get the plant out of the house as soon as possible, so I rushed it outside and 3 earwigs crawled out of it and entered the mulch where I was planning on planting my tiger lily bulbs today. 😰 I have never dealt with earwigs before, especially not with a houseplant, and now I’m scared to even plant the bulbs before I can find the earwigs that got into the mulch. I haven’t been able to find them, and now the jade plant’s soil is currently too dry and very root bound, so I can’t even see if there’s any eggs or larvae of any more of these earwigs hiding in my new jade. She’s also pretty wilted and leaning to one side from the trip through the mail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Help!! I was gifted this bonsai juniper at the end of last summer, and it was doing great up until this winter. I watered accordingly (the watering schedule Planta gave me). What can I do to save/ help it?
Hello! I have a cactus that’s growing rather odd and I’ve tried propping it up, but I’m just wondering if I could cut it off at a joint and propagate that or if that would damage the plant in any way
I sprayed cinnamon bark oil mixed with water on my houseplants because I read that it helps with ants and pests and now several leaves on some of them are turning brown and dying. I tried spraying them with just water to rinse it off but I’ve noticed more brown leaves. Anything I can do to fix it??
So I got this desert rose maybe 2 months ago. It had spider mites and lost all leaves. Now the base seems to be rotting. Is there anything I can do to save it? The soil is still moist but I’m scared it will break apart if I try removing it from this soil.
