Hello! Inspecting my plants I noticed some brown tiny bugs(?) on my eggplant. Will they harm the plant? Does anyone know what these are and food safe ways to get rid of them?

Is this from underwatering?

Is this signs of too much sun? The other leaves are thriving . Every other week or so a leaf dies off

Hi there I have a croton mammy that was doing so well until I repotted the guy in aroid soil. It was all I had and I feel like it was a mistake? I used regular potting soil prior and it was doing well for 1+ year. It’s also pretty leggy. should I propagate? Switch back to potting soil? Both?

I was on the YouTubes and there’s a content maker called SheffieldMadePlants and he had made a video about using water conditioner for aquariums (tropical fish) and how it “removes” harsh minerals for his plants and helps with crispy tips. Has anyone tried or heard of this?

Hi friends! What I think is an anthurium (red flowers) is fading fast and I need a crash cart. It was so happy in my bright sunny kitchen and then took a nose dive! It was having a hard time before my repot on Thursday, and now it’s just woeful. It has pretty good draining. Gets a good mist from time to time. Is in soft direct northern light, now in the window. The soil comp is potting soil with perlite. Any thoughts? I know plants sometimes die, but damn it sucks. I hope I can help her! Edit and addition re: notching I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I botched my Amate and Rubber trees correct. Thank you in advance :)

My satin pothos plant propagation has a leaf that’s going floppy and pale, and I don’t know why. Below are pictures of the plant and the site. It doesn’t really have any roots so I’m a little concerned.

I honestly can’t tell if I’ve over or underwatered this snake plant! The leaves have gone kind of shriveled/creased and it’s begun to lean over. BUT there’s also a lot of new growth starting at the base. But when I wiggled one stem it came right out in my hand and there were almost no roots. I know they don’t root deeply but this didn’t seem like a good sign. The top layer is the pot is always dry, and when I use a water meter it reads dry, but when I’m pulled out the plastic inner pot, it was very wet at the bottom. But that’s like 6” away from the depth of the roots. Help?? Thank you!

Was going to propagate some new cuttings and opened up my bag of miracle gro indoor potting mix to see this. Should I throw the whole bag out? Not sure what this is… please help ❤️

Anyone know what’s up with my little Hoya Krimson Queen? She’s finally growing for me, and now this!? :( I noticed the spots last night and they got way worse by morning. This one leaf is all soft and floppy.

My aloe plant had been leaning a lot since I repotted it. What can I do to fix this?

Anyone know what’s wrong? I recently bought it and have been following Planta’s guides, but just saw this today.

hey I just bought this philodendron moonlight and wasn’t paying attention to these spots on it. Does anyone know what caused these and if I should be worried or how to take steps to fix it? It’s on several of the leaves. I don’t think it’s thrips because there is no black dots or anything on the under leaves.

Hi all! My cousin has a peace lily that is having some issues (leaves dying, tips browning ect). I took it out of the pot to investigate the roots and they seem healthy (no odor or root rot). I’m wondering if it’s unhappy because it’s in too big of a pot, being watered with tap water, and not being fertilized. If you have any advice, please feel free to give it up! Thank you :)

I recently got this rubber plant delivered to me, and I am not sure what these white splotches are. They don’t seem to be on the newer leaves. I have wiped down the leaves and it won't come off. Otherwise the plant looks healthy. I've inspected for insects but found nothing. I am worried this is something that will spread! Help!

Hey guys! My lucky bamboo hasn’t been doing well for quite some time :( one of my friends recommended removing the stems that were infected but even the remaining ones aren’t looking too good. I would love getting any tips on how to help it recover!

does anyone know what these brown spots on my jade plant are ?

I was ready to give up on my eucalyptus when I noticed a bunch of new growth. How can I save her? She’s got loads of dry falling off leaves, and was knocked off the shelf so lost half of her leaves to that. Then had powdery mildew!! My poor gal has been through it, but I’m hopeful she can pull through seeing her new leaves. What can I do to make her happy? She’s got a bunch of brown stems, should those be trimmed off? And what about her crispy leaves, am I Ok to remove those as well? I didn’t have the app when I picked her up so didn’t realize how much care they required and I’m afraid I haven’t been a good plant mum. She’s in a SW window that gets about 6+ hrs of bright light, and I slowed down on watering as per Planta’s expert chat advice, but when I do water I make sure to give her loads of water til it comes through the drainage holes and let her drain out before putting her back in her spot. She was repotted a few months ago thinking she needed a bigger pot but that didn’t help any.

Hello! I’m new to Planta but I joined partially because of my pathos, which is really droopy. It was fine when I got it a couple months ago, but it got increasingly worse over the next few weeks. It is in the same pot as two baby dracaenas, though I’m not sure that makes any difference. Thanks in advance!

My plant Mr. Fredrickson is not doing great and plants said he’s overwatered but I wanted some other opinions before I take him out and put him on a paper towel and repot him
