Hey everybody! I just picked up this fiddle leaf fig from Aldi that was looking real rough. I cleaned it up and cut off its dying/dead leaves, but I just checked the soil with my moisture meter and it’s dry/moist, but WET near the bottom. What should I do about this? Should I empty it out and mix all the dirt up and repot it in the same pot, or should I just leave it until it dries out. I just don’t want the roots to rot… Thanks for your help!

what in the world is happening to my zz?? discoloration on the leaves, white/dead spots and what looks like nibble holes, as well as yellowing tips while still maintaining happy waxy stripes along the stems. she has recently been moved to a slightly shadier spot. she has tolerated my neglectful watering well until now. pests? disease?

I got my venus fly trap about 3 weeks ago. It’s doing well overall, but last night I noticed little black bugs crawling around. There’s none flying, just crawling around the plant. They are do small I couldn’t get a pic but here’s a pic of my plant m. Any advice appreciated :)

I just noticed this white, like fuzz on top of the soil at the base of my fiddle leaf fig. I assume it’s some kind of mold or a fungus? The plant looks perfectly normal and healthy. But this just showed up out of the blue. Anybody know what it is and how to treat it? I’d love to hear from you. Thanks ahead of time.

hi! i got this gorgeous rhipsalis a week ago. i have it categorized as baccifera but it could be campos-portoana? anyway i noticed today that it has a lot of tan, woody spots & areas throughout. (looking back on the first photos, these tan areas have been there since day 1) the spots do not wash off or scrape off. it almost looks like the plant just hardens in these areas. i looked closely & found no pests. the plant has a lot of new growth & seems pretty happy otherwise. does anyone know if this is normal?

I’ve been using little tea bags to soak my mosquito bits into my plant water. Figured I’d share this idea in case someone else finds it useful. Certainly makes it easier to remove from the water.

So my baby here is doing good for the most part… she has new growth regularly. Every time a leaf turns yellow I prune it off. I’m seeing these weird spots on the leaves now though. Seems like egg sacks of some sorts? Any suggestions on what it is or how to safely get rid of it?

Help!! My poor little baby isn’t doing so hot! I’m not certain of the type of plant she is, it was a gift from a friend. She was doing alright for a while. Perky leaves and strong stems, little buds coming through, all of that. Suddenly she’s droopy and nothing I do seems to help. I have windows with bright indirect light and the option of putting her under a grow light if that’s better. Any advice?

My plant (unsure of the type) has recently developed these light green leaves. I don’t know what is wrong with it, and what it needs. Any advice?
