Just got this dragonscale alocasia. Unfortunately, it isn’t doing too well and I noticed it has a mealy bug problem. I sprayed it with diluted rubbing alcohol and dipped a qtip with rubbing alcohol and dabbed it onto some heavily infested parts as best as I could, but I’m not sure if I got them all. I haven’t repotted the plant yet but I will very soon. I’m trying to separate some of the corms in the soil and start propagating them in case the main plant doesn’t make it. Any tips?
I am trying to propagate a bunch of Sunpatients from my mother plant. The propagations are growing rather quickly but the foliage looks pretty rough with a bunch of spots. Any advice or treatments?
I have a desert rose that I pruned because it was wilting. It’s been two months, it hasn’t grown and it hasn’t died, just gotten pruny. Any way to save it and make it grow?
Just got an alocasia for the first time ever. Her soil pH, draining, light, watering, etc are all great. Was gone for a week where she was watered and given sunlight but no humidity. Is that what’s wrong?
What are these tiny bugs? They are crawling all over the soil. Please help!
Hi everyone! my plant is getting some of these spots on her new leafs, does anyone know what it is or why it could be happening?
anyone know what this discoloration indicates? overwatered? sunburn? *can confirm it’s not a pest problem!
Caught the gnats early on, thank goodness 😮💨 treated with hydrogen peroxide to kill those pesky larvae and finally got the sticky catchers.
Is this mold? I think it is so I cut it off or did I do it for nothing? I’m thinking that if it is, it’s from using that neem oil, soap and water mixture everyone online says to use for gnat pesticide
My Spanish lavender is looking sort of dead in places. I am very new at taking care of plants, and bought this one because I heard it’s good at keeping bugs away! I’m concerned about the little orange bits in the flowers. I scattered some flower fertilizer into the soil when I repotted it about a week ago, and it has rained very heavily the last two days so I haven’t been watering it for that reason. Prior to that I was watering it about once a day until I saw water leave the drainage hole in the bottom. I moved it further into the sunlight, but please let me know if you’re aware of any specific problems that could be causing this! My friend bought a plant from the same place as me and told me that their plant had mites so that could be an issue as well.
My peperomia has been losing leaves for weeks. I tried everything from moving its location to changing the soil but today I finally decided to just cut what was left and propagate it, and then repot the stems into a smaller pot. Please let me know any tips to try and get this little guy healthier. I’m also not entirely sure if the original stems will still leaf, but I repotted them anyways.
This is the most DISGUSTING thing I’ve seen on my plants!! Freakin aphids eww! I hosed them down violently (*while yelling in horror of course*) followed by an hour session of neem oil to EVERY SINGLE LEAF 😮💨🤞🏼 My Apple tree was growing all weird and had a lot of yellowing leaves so I went to check it and I saw a bunch of black ants… and I remembered 💡they eat the honeydew from the aphids. So I flipped a leaf to verify my suspicions and ohhhhh lorddddd….. 🤢… sheesh!! They remind me of ticks 🤮. Anyways, Here are the repulsive images for your amusement.
How do I save my sister’s zebra plant?? I already cut all the dead withered leaves.
How do I revive my Aloe plant? Am I overwatering it?
Hello, so, I seem to have a infestation of fungus gnats that are laying eggs in all my plants, iv tried 2 different pesticides, anyone have any recommendations on what I can do to kill these dang root eating monsters?
My mother in law gave me her corn plant to try and revive it. There’s a lot of damage though and Planta says it’s inconsistent watering. She did just about everything wrong you can to a plant (bless her heart.) ie moved it, under ac/ heater, moved again, root bound etc I let it sit outside in shade/ indirect light. It has fungus gnats. Just watered with peroxide and added peppermint oil for bugs. She says it has drainage wholes (she just repotted) but I soaked it and no water came out. I was hesitant to do so as my meter said the base was damp. Any advice as I’ve never cared for a dracanea. Is it too far gone?
I just got this beautiful moth orchid from my dad for my birthday! However, upon inspecting the roots, I definitely need to do some emergency care. I have attempted to grow an orchid before, needless to say, it died because of these same conditions. What/ how do I go about cutting the rotting roots, what soil mixture should I use, and do you have any recommendations on orchid pots with a little more air circulation? I just brought it into the light for pictures, it’s going to stay away from direct bright light!
My coral bush I received from my sister had leaves on it when I got it. I planted it outside and the leaves wilted. I researched and found that where I live in Florida is too hot to be outside so I repotted it and put it inside. Now it looks very very dead. How can I revive it? I put it in vermiculite and coco perlite.
Help! Is there anything I can do to save this Peace Lily? I received her from someone who no longer wanted her, (first picture) I switched her pot and soil and put her on a watering and fertilizer schedule but her steams just kept dying. I have finally cut her back to just a small base (2nd photo) please help!! She is also under a grow light that is on for 3 hours a day
I repotted my tradescantia nanouk because its leaves were browning and it had obviously outgrown its old pot. Yet it had continued to decline in health despite its new home. It is now down to one sprout and I really don’t want it to die. I just moved it into my living room to get it out of direct sunlight. I would appreciate any other advice you all have to offer
