Help appreciated! My plants were overwatered by a plant-sitter, and this baby rubber plant appears to be growing mushrooms. How concerned should I be, and how do I get rid of them? (Dig out and repot?) Thanks for any help you can give!

HELP! My snow queen pothos is infected with bugs. Ive already repotted it twice in new soil. I’ve been watering with peroxide and water (mostly water) to kill the bugs. I placed cinnamon on top of the soil to prevent flies which has helped. But I still see tiny bugs in the soil. The plant seems to be fine for now. What should I do?

Gilly

Please help!!!! She was on clearance when I found her she was already brown and had really bad brown leaves! The flower was already drying and dying. She came in water so I felt leaving her in water was best. I’ve been using a white light for about three weeks and she just got worse and slimier so I did a big chop but I think that was the wrong decision……… however I do see small greenish spots and I feel like she’s grown a small baby root like the smallest but I don’t know if I’m just delusional because I don’t wanna give up on her yet. Any ideas that could help? I’m new at plants but I’ve been consistent at cleaning and she’s under purple light now.. anything else i can try? Ps.. I read they like humidity so I have my humidifier on next to her.

Hey Everyone! Just got this new twisted trunk hibiscus at Home Depot. Thought it was fine but after planting noticed these brown spots on the trunk. First tree like anything adventure for me so asking before the panic. Thanks for any help guidance! Repotted in planta recommended soil well draining plastic pot. Nothing fancy 🙃

This random plant is growing by one of my chicken pens I think it’s a mulberry tree but something’s eating it. Does anyone know any homemade pesticides? TIA

Someone please tell me what this is all over my hydrangea and how to stop it! I keep cutting the infected leaves off and have thinned out the bush for ventilation, but it seems to be getting worse?

I need help figuring out if this pink princess is salvageable. I moved from NY to GA and it is not happy in the car at all. The roots seem fine. Need to figure out something to do! Right now it’s in a plastic pot w the tape holding it up for transport. It was doing fine before the trip. If anyone has any magical potions or ideas to help plz let me know :)

We have had this planted over this summer and is growing but not blooming. Leaves are a little yellow and near a sprinkler head but not sure if over water or not enough sun or both.
