From a satin pothos, what’s causing the spotting? Ty!

Hi there, this is my first post on Planta, but it seems like a lovely and supportive community, and I could use some advice on my new Kentia Palm. I’m hoping that you experienced plant people can help! I’ve had my Kentia for just under a month, and in the last week, I noticed that some of her fronds are turning brownish grey and other leaves are getting yellow spots. The AI Planta Doctor said it could be the stress of moving, or issues with watering, light, or fertilizing. I haven’t fertilized her since bringing her home, per the instructions of the plant store, so it seems unlikely that that is the problem? I wonder if it’s not enough light, but I don’t want to add a grow light and burn the leaves, as I know Kentias prefer bright indirect light. Any instincts on what the problem might be and how I can turn it around? Photos attached. Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

Dead leaves on my chinese evergreen, is this normal?? I got her a month ago and water it once a week. She lives outdoors on an east-facing patio that gets direct sunlight from about 9am-2pm. Outside temps have been around 85 degrees (florida). The plant seems to be doing well besides these couple of leaves. Any info/tips would be greatly appreciated! :) 🪴💚

Hey! Ive been dealing with mealybugs for a while, and i cannot seem to get rid of them. I treat one plant, then i find them on another!! I’m trying to be careful w spreading but its so hard :( I treat them using this cleaning solution made of natural oils, thats supposed to kill the bugs but spare the plant (i cant find a name for it in english). Evidently, its not working well enough. Any tips on getting rid of them for good?

i’m going to go crazy. please tell me my corn plant doesn’t have spider mites or something. i just found spider mites on another one of my plants yesterday (it was in a different room) and i’m going to pull my hair out if my biggest and oldest plant atm has them. he just developed this mold-looking stuff on the soil recently and my cat likes to nudge up against him but i spray and clean him with neem oil every other week to keep him dust free. it’s hard to tell what marks are new because this guy was a rescue, so he has had marks for awhile but no issues. he’s been under my big sansi grow light next to a mirror so ALL his leaves get good sun for 12 hours a day. please tell me it’s just dust kicked up from my cat🤞😭

Fist time growing lettuce. It’s been germinating for 3 weeks and nothing has popped up. The packet they came in said 7-14 days. Is that Normal or is something wrong?

This is my marigold plant and I can’t tell what’s wrong with her! Is it too much sun, water, wrong soil? I’m very new to plants and heard this one was easy :(

I recently repotted plant using FoxFarm Ocean mix and soaked the pots in vinegar to clean up some mineral deposits. I noticed this white dust building along the rim of the pot - is this more mineral deposit, or should I be concerned??

I’ve had this plant for about a month. It’s started to get black at the ends almost as if it’s burning. Any thoughts?

Hey, anybody have information on bamboo?

Help!!! I repotted my ficus tree recently because her leaves were turning yellow. Since repotting the yellow leaves have come back - 6 today alone! Nothing else has changed. What do I do?

Hello, I’ve had Lantana’s before but they were always attacked by pests and died. This time, I bought two. One is thriving but this one below keeps shriveling up. It doesn’t appear to pests when I check for it and they are not attacking the other one. I make sure to water and have followed Planta’s advice. I have also isolated it from other plants in case of pests. Has anyone has this problem before? I’d really like to get it back up and healthy again.

Does anybody know why my spring cactus is wilting and wrinkling? I tried watering it as that’s what the internet said but it’s only getting worse.

My Swiss cheese is not doing as well as I’d like. It’s in indirect sun, humidity around 45-50%, room temp 65-70 and it just keeps getting brown spots on the leaves. Has not been repotted since I bought it about 6 months ago. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!

Help. Since I brought this plant home it’s had brown spots on the leaves. I have it on a watering schedule. It’s in a room and receives diffuse light.

I have inherited a Jade plant and it is not looking so healthy. I have already had to trim off a lot of the leaves that were terrible looking. I am not sure if I should completely repot the plant- removing the “dead” ones- and keeping the couple that look healthy. Help?!? Is there any hope of bringing the full plant back?? I appreciate the advice and help! 😊
