Does anyone know what these clear balls are? They look like water droplets but feel like gel. I believe it's on a papaya plant?

I dodged a bullet. This beetle rode in on my dog’s fur. My white hair dogs often get mulch and chunky bits tangled in the fur as they play outside. I automatically pull off the debris after 14 years of living with my dogs. This piece fell to the floor and disappeared. Found it on my peel and stick wall paper sample. An internet image search shows it’s a Flea Beetle. It’s one variety that is highly destructive to foliage and lays eggs in the soil and inside the trunk! They usually become active in spring. I suspect the above normal temperatures brought them out. Our temperatures have been 20°F above typical winter temperatures for over a week. It’s averaging 80°F temps here on he Texas coastal areas. I disposed of it by tossing it near a spot where cardinals and sparrows often come to look for food. It’s near a frog resting place. 🐦‍⬛🐸🪲 Nematodes and Neem oil in a 70% solution can get rid of them per google. Strong scented plants like mint, marigold, calendula and garlic deters them.

I have had a money tree for about a year, and my cats started urinating in the pot and now I am trying to bring it back. Need advice here.

Anybody know what’s happening to my dieffenbachia? Bottom leaves started yellowing, even after watering. I don’t think I’m overwatering as it’s been over a week since I last watered.

Hello everyone! I wanted to ask if this is something I should be considered about. I’ve had this money tree for about 4 years. Never had anything like this show up on the leaves and now it’s on a couple of them. I don’t ever overwater my plant and it’s stays out of direct sunlight. Can anyone help identify what this might be?

Was wondering if anyone has found a reasonable solution for using a humidifier in a very hard water region. I live in the desert southwest so a humidifier is essential for my plants. Using hard water in my humidifier clearly is bad all around. Obviously bad for the machine but it seems to put out a talcum like mist. There’s a film of baby powderish dust on everything that never existed before. Here’s the issue: -It takes about a gallon every 24 hours. Therefore, using distilled water doesn’t seem financially sustainable for me. -Boiling water, or letting it sit out doesn’t do anything but slightly reduce the magnesium/calcium levels. -Tap water conditioner doesn’t seem to work either. -I can’t afford a reverse osmosis filter. -last time it rained was 200 days ago. -home distilled water seems insane. Like several hours to produce 1 gallon. So just curious if others were in a similar predicament. Also, is it dangerous to breathe in hard water mist?

What happened to my plant? It might be from over watering - my toddler had a go at it with water a month ago. I haven’t watered it since. But also shortly after we watered it, the LA fires happened…do you think I can save her? She looks droopy and less vibrant in color. Left photo is before…right photo is now.
