Hey y’all, I have this dendrobium orchid that overall seems healthy if maybe a bit over-sunned. Long story short, this was intended to be a short term placement for it during some home improvements we’re doing, so eventually it will go back to its home with less light. In the meantime, it has developed this, but I’m not sure if it’s some sort of pest or a sign of too much light. Or maybe it’s part of its natural cycle. Those black spots are hard, not scraping off. Can’t seem to find anything about this online. Any experienced orchid growers know? I know orchids are sensitive, so I don’t want to make any further changes to its environment unless I have to.

There’s some mold growing on my peace lily’s soil. It doesn’t seem to be hurting the plant. Should I be worried?

Can anyone identify the cause of these discolored spots on my Zz? It has had a lot of new growth lately, so I haven’t noticed any other signs of pests/diseases/other issues.

My outdoor rose bush. Lots of eaten leaves. I removed some stems with aphids but not sure what this fly is and what's actually eating my leaves

Please help! I just got this pinky symphony caladium from a well know nursery in my area and it’s been about two weeks and these mushy brown spots are taking over the pink leaves. Her green leaves don’t have an issue. She’s also growing new leaves, both pink and green. She’s in a room with gentle indirect light, the soil is moist, it has a pebble tray. I’ve applied neem to the affected area and it got worse over night! What do I doooo?? She’s my new favorite and I’m so proud of her but she’s very sad :(

picked up this monsters peru for $7 on clearance at walmart. what is this yellowing? fixable? i don’t see any pests

Looks healthy but some leaves started getting dry. Watering when soil is dry, medium sunlight indoor. Does this need a bigger pot? How can I make sure this stay healthy. I am pretty new to gardening and this is one of my favorite plant 🙂

Hi guys. My Persian Ivy isn’t doing well. Her leaves look limp. It’s in a porcelain pot with drainage but I believe the pot is the reason it takes a while to dry out. I think there’s root rot from consistently overly wet soil. How do I fix this ? I was considering removing it from the soil to inspect and cut the damaged roots then put it to stand in a glass of water Is that a bad idea? Please let me know the best type of soil I should get for this plant. I’m planning to move it to a terracotta pot

So I think I I have a gnat infestation! I changed the pot/soil of her plant I thought was giving me the most problems. I water with hydrogen peroxide mixed in sometimes, and I sprinkle food grade diatomaceous earth on the surface (very thick to cover). The diatomaceous earth gets soggy once wet so I feel it helps the gnats in the long run. I try to keeps fresh dry layer on top. I also bottom water the plants that I can. I use the yellow sticky traps as well. I just can’t seem to get rid of them. I even bought gnat catching machine, which barely works! I’m so sick of the gnats!! HELP ME PLEASE!! 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

I am finding so many gnats around my apartment and in my plants which is slowly killing them. Or at least I think so. I purchased organic cinnamon and spread around in all my plants soil. All week, I’ve been spraying all the plants with hydrogen peroxide mixed with water and that hasn’t helped. If the cinnamon doesn’t work, what can I do to get rid of these gnats or at least get them to leave my plants alone. I also have little bowls of apple cider vinegar and dish soup sitting out in a few different spots around my apartment. TIA!

any reason why my elephant ear has splotches like this? all the other leaves look perfect

i have a siam aurora and some of its leaves are getting brown and wilted (not crunchy) it had a self watering pot and im thinking maybe too much water?? help please

My jade plant is getting what looks like scales..I think it’s because my plants are stationed near a vent (only place available to have them)..my question is, if the air is too dry can I mist the jade? I know it’s like a succulent so I’m worried about rotting. I don’t know how else to fix the issue! Any recommendations? Also that yellow leaf completely broke off and was very wrinkled. I’ve been sticking to Planta’s care routine instructions and haven’t watered outside of what it tells me. But when I scan it in the app, it says could be lack of drainage (the pot has drainage so that’s not it). Or it says overwatering, but it’s been almost 7 days since the last watering. Any ideas? Only thing I can think is that maybe my my grow light put it in shock and the air dried it out. Idk though. 🤷🏼‍♀️
