I noticed this browning on the fishbone cactus I got a few weeks ago. There have been some minor signs of sooty mold which I treated with insecticidal soap when I first got it. Wondering if this could be signs of scale? I scraped off a light green bump but didn’t get a picture prior. Do I chop this leaf? Any advice welcome!

Couple of weeks ago I left my banana plant outside for too long and the leaves turn to mush. I cut off the excess leaves and was left with what I see here in this image past two weeks. I have had it in a grow tent with a light and humidifier on it, trying to figure out a way to bring this thing back to life and would love for anybody that has some experience with these to throw some suggestions my way or tell me if it’s too far gone.

I have a few new leaves on this dwarf banana “Tropicana” but the bottom leaves are yellowing. Is that expected as it keeps growing, am I overwatering? TIA!

I wanted to get some opinions on what is growing on this root, it’s my devils ivy plant, and it’s been having a tough time as of late but it’s the first time I’ve noticed this white stuff. My guess is mould of some kind. Any tips on how best to handle this would be greatly appreciated.

Concerned about this leaf. This leaf has been dying and my other leaves have no signs of dying. Do I cut the leaf?

Hello everyone, I’m looking for some help and advice! My poor ficus tree has started to drop leaves like crazy! They are turning brown and then falling off. The branches seem to be dropping too. I put the tree in the shower everyone month for around 15 minutes as I was told to when I bought it. Maybe I should repot with new soil? I bought the tree in July 2023 and you can see such a stark difference in its appearance today! Please help! What can I do to save my tree?

Hi Planties! I have a big beautiful split leaf philodendron that was gifted to me by a close friend. When I first got it last spring I noticed it was infested with Scales. (As seen in photo) I treated the whole plant with neem oil and it seemed to help a lot. But now that spring is back around I noticed the scales are also in season:( does anyone have any tips on ridding my plant of these bugs for good?

Hi everyone! I was going to water my Chinese money plant when I noticed these in the back of 2 leaves. They’re not bugs but seem like crusting embedded in the bottom side of the leaf. Do anyone know what this is or the cause of it? Thank you!

I’ve read on here how tricky majesty palms are… I have sprayed this with neem oil many times, I let it dry out and then water it until the water drains out the bottom, I have checked for mealy bugs, I am unsure of what else to do… I’ve had it for about 6 months and it just slowly turns more orange. I also bought it from Home Depot. any ideas of what could be wrong???

Should I get rid of the springtails in my plant? It’s in my bedroom and they only live in the moist soil of my ivy plants. They don’t seem to be doing harm but it creeps me out a bit. This app tells me to water my ivy plants every 5 days which I feel is too much. They are in my window but the soil stays damp always. However they are thriving and growing. Should I water my plants less and get rid of the springtails or keep it how it is?

hi, i’m a little worried about my pothos, her leaves look pretty healthy but the top of the soil looks rough. does this look like mold or just roots at the top? If it’s mold, any advice on what I should do?

Hey there! My poinsettia is not looking the best. Yellowing leaves, droopy leaves, and brown areas surrounding the leaves. Any suggestions as to what is causing this and how to help her? Planta said she is not getting enough sunlight, and the humidity is low, and to mist her. I have her sitting in my kitchen on the counter about 5 feet away from a window that provides sun for 5-6 hours a day or more on sunnier days. The sunniest room is also right next to the kitchen area where she is. HELP!
