Queen of the night, spots? It’s bone dry right now. I was just getting ready to water and noticed all the spots Not sure what’s causing it. I cleaned it to make sure there weren’t any pests, couldn’t find any. Any suggestions?

Soooooo I made a massive error in judgement and thought I had thrips and then used a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on some leaves and well, yup…. Definitely burnt the leaves and wondering if anyone has any advice other than removing / pruning the completely dead leaves ? Any steps to take that you have taken from personal experience or that works well? I really do not want to give up on this plant ( it’s a magestic palm). I almost gave up on it a while back with a growth issue and just as life teaches us patience- this is my Buddha tree per se.

I have a question regarding outdoor plants. Does anyone cut back their peony bushes in the fall? And what about daylilies? Should those be cut back?

Is this still just sunburn?

Little gnat, little gnat. So I have these tiny gnat looking buggos scurrying about in the soils of my indoors plants. They’re too small for a camera to catch. Are they good or are they bad? How to get ride of them?

I recently got this aloe maybe 2-3 weeks ago. I figured it would thrive in the sun. I used normal soil maybe I should’ve made it more gritty. Any thoughts on what might’ve happened. When I first put it in the sun it looked like it got burnt so I put it in indirect sunlight on my balcony. But it unfortunately got worse. Help? I doubt I can save her but would love pointers for next time.

My largest plant, a marble queen pothos has been thriving up until now. But yesterday I found a few yellowing leaves at the base and I can’t tell if they are simply yellowing due to age or if she is root bound, getting too much water, or what. I haven’t changed anything about her watering cycle, light, or anything. Can yall help me??

Hiii, I bought a Monstera Thai Constellation from GrowTropicals and every leaf had some spots like this - I repotted it, is there anything else I can do to increase its chance of survival?

hi everyone! I have this black velvet alocasia that has this random yellowing leaf and I cannot figure out why. The big leaf right above it is brand new, the roots are healthy, there's no pests...do the older leaves toward the bottom just yellow and die off normally?

New plant parent here. Are these brown node thingys eggs or plant growth? It seems to be healthy but I’m terrified I’m getting pests.

Golden goddess philodendron. What is this? Appeared basically today as I checked yesterday. Almost transparent. Not sticky, just smooth. Otherwise super happy plant that just spit out a new leaf, and has another apparently on the way. Would like to fix asap to keep her happy.
