Oh my God, okay so I watered my flatmates plant just now because oh my God, well overdue I noticed these little hands that look like cactus anyone seen this before? Anyone know what these are?

What the heck could possibly do this? A pest? I’m thinking my cat 😐, but it’s also in a very odd spot

Hi friends. My roommate has a large collection of plants, some of which have spilled over to the living room. I’ve started helping him take care of them since he’s a little overwhelmed and forgetful with watering. I just found a horrible spider mite and scale infestation and evidence of mealies on his plants. I’m gonna treat them right now but am wondering if y’all have ever had a situation like this and how to go about making someone take care of a pest problem. I’m just worried they’re gonna somehow get in my room and affect my collection. Thanks for any advice

Update on Ellie…. Idk what to do for her. This is the fourth leaf that has turned yellow and now the fifth leaf is turning. I took her out of her pot and her soil was wet so I put her into a dry soil and a new pot, but she’s still losing leaves. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is this normal with plants that have been overwatered? TIA!

help! what is wrong with my roommates money plant? what can we do?

Hi guys I just got a Monstera and it was doing great but recently noticed this part on a newer leaf. Almost looks burnt, but it’s been growing in surface area on the leaf and part of the stem. Last pic is what it looked like on Saturday. Other pics are from today. Rest of the plant looks very healthy!! Soil is dry at the top currently but still a little moist about an inch down. It sits in front of my patio door and gets a lot of indirect sunlight with about an hour of direct sunlight later in the day. I’ve been misting as the app advises. The plant as a whole looks healthy except for this one section and I’m scared of how fast it’s spreading 😩 is there something I can try? Should I try to remove the affected stem before it spreads?? Any advice would be appreciated!! 🥲 SOS

I'm a little concerned about my pothos. It seems to have got very droopy. But on the other hand it is growing a new leaf so it can't be too unhappy?

So this plant was very dry so I was giving it a thorough soak in some water for a few minutes when SO MANY long white tiny bugs were swimming around in the water😭😭 the health of this plant hasn’t been great for a long time, but I don’t see any signs of pests on the leaves. Please tell me this is what fungus gnat larvae look like and these aren’t thrips. Also in Canada we don’t have access to systemic granules. Not opposed to chucking the plant to save my collection Ps this same plant had mealy bugs not that long ago.

I’ve taken over this rubber plant and had it for the past year. The first ten months with us it was in our conservatory where it was absolutely fine, producing new leaves. I then noticed all the leaves down one side are really brown (the side facing the sun, possibly scorched? Although it’s been in direct sun before). I’m watering it as per this app’s instructions as I know it doesn’t take much water. Is there any saving it? The leaves on the other side and at the top are fine but one side looking very sad. Have moved it out of the conservatory for the time being.

Which pests are these on the undersides of the leaves?

Any idea what this white stringy stuff could be on my rubber tree plant? Mealybugs?

Is this due to shock from repotting or could there be something else that may be going on? I repotted my pothos about a week ago after purchasing it because it had 5 plants in one small pot. Now the leaves are drooping as if its thirsty.

Hi I purchased a Venus fly trap today and repotted in a 50/50 perlite and peat moss mix and watered with distilled water. Any tips to make this guy a bit happier/healthier? It appears the leaves are all droopy/laying down after repotting. First is when purchased and second is after repotting. Thanks in advance 😊

Hello! Does anyone know what’s going on with my plant? She’s been growing quite a lot but the colors are still so off. I watered her yesterday.

Hi all, I have a new little red Robin, it's still in its nursery pot waiting to be planted in the big bed, the last week though it's started dying and I'm not sure why.. AFAIK it's already hardy for outdoor temps, we've had mixed sunshine and showers, the soil isn't dry but not sopping wet either and its been sat in a wind sheltered part sun spot of the garden... any help would be appreciated

Hey everyone! Any tips on why my dragon plant/tree is browning/yellow?😢 it’s in a dark corner of my room, but I’ve had it since June and it was loving it there!

Hi everyone! I am fairly new to being a Plant Mom , loving it and this app has helped me to keep them alive for so long. My snake plant looks unhappy. My guesses are I need to repot because there’s quite a few baby plants popping up in here OR it has had too much sun. What do you think? Both? I may try to move it out of direct sun for a bit. I think its new location was too bright.

Usually I’m pretty good at deducing or looking up what’s wrong with my plants, but this time I’m stumped. I’m unsure why my marble pothos is browning on the leaves as well as the stem. On the leaves, most of the browning is on the white portions. When the stem browns, it begins to spread up the section and kills it, it happened once before further down the stem so cut the section off so it wouldn’t spread. Since it came back despite me cutting the section off, I thought it might be root rot (despite the other pothos in the pot being fine). However, the roots have new growth and look completely healthy, if a little root bound. I also don’t fertilize very much, and don’t use any silica fertilizer despite it being a variegated plant (though I plan on getting some soon). Could this be what’s causing the plant to brown (again, since it’s mostly on the variegated portions of the leaves)? There’s also no pests that I can find either. Any thoughts on what’s happening, or what I should be searching to learn more about this issue would be greatly appreciated 🙏 I’d like to fully understand what’s going on before I try chopping up the vine to save at least part of the plant. Below I’ve provided images of the browning leaves, the blackening stem, and the plants roots

Hi plantie loves! My silver inch plant grows like a weed BUT the leaves near the top all dry up making her look really stringy while the leaves at the end are thriving. Do you have any ideas on why this is happening or tips on how to stop this?

Hey!! First time String Of Pearls owner here🪴! I got it a few months ago beautiful and long, but now the pearls are shriveling up towards the base 😱😭‼️ not sure if I'm over watering, under watering, too little sun or too cold (it's just starting to warm up where I live). Any and all advice on what to change/do to get her back to rocking would be appreciated.
