I have these weeds growing like crazy. No matter how much i pluck them they come back 2x the amount than before. Its gotten to the point where they are growing all over the yard even after mowing them. I was thinking about a weed killer but i dont want it to hurt my other plants and effect my edible plants too. I dont even know what kind of weeds these are. Please help
Something is going on with my tomato plant! Some of the leaves are dying and turning brown and yellow. Ive been cutting some of the leaves off and the very dead leaves off but i dont know if that will make it worse or not..
I got this peace lilly about a month ago as a gift for Mothers Day it had a lot of yellow leaves and the flowers were droopy. Since then it had perked up and is growing new green leaves, should i leave the yellow ones or trim them off??
Can anyone tell me what on earth is going on with this please?š
Spider mites, help! New plant mom. Growing my collection over last year and itās been going so well. But Iāve noticed little white webs on all my plants. Started getting to occasional damaged or yellow leaf (May or may not be related) but want to squash this. ASAP. Iāve been using sexy plant spray to clean leaves weekly (70% iso alcohol, pprmt soap, neem oil, water mix, recommended often online). I bought some beneficial pest (but I think the ones I got only treat fungus knats). I did spray with cold water too. I canāt separate really cause my house is tiny and I have too many plants (bad lighting) and not enough plant lights to make that work. I live in Atlanta so itās warm and I could move outside but I worry thatāll welcome MORE pest and come winter Iāll have a disaster when I move back indoors. Idk. Ideas? Advice?
Iāve had my gardenia for a few months now and itās been watered, misted, and fertilized on schedule, give or take a day or two. I think it had spider mites a few weeks ago so I ran the whole thing under the faucet protecting the soil and I think it solved that issue. Now Iām getting a few green leaves dropping off when I check for mites during the watering schedule. Iām barely brushing the leaves up and theyāre falling off. Any idea whatās going on?
My Thai con has been drooping lately and the soil was staying wet despite me not watering in at least 2 weeks. I recently repotted from a black nursery pot to a clear one but I up sized. I went to move her to a different area incase she just wasnāt happy where she was and I noticed her roots were black. I lost almost all her roots to rot. I downsized her pot what do you think she can recover?
What do you use to get rid of black knats ?
My Fred Ives Graptoveria has been dropping leaves and developing these spots before the leaves drop. Does anyone know what this is? A few months ago I had been treating with milk mixed with water to get rid of what I thought was a powdery mildew outbreak, but these spots look different than the ones on the other plants that have since recovered. Iāve also tried spraying with neem oil and moving them to a less sunny spot but havenāt been able to help them. Any tips would be appreciated!
Hello, I am posting regarding my apple tree. This just happened and I am concerned of what could be going on. The leaves are also coming off very easily. This had to just have started a couple days ago. I also noticed one of my apples was starting to rot,
Ever since I got this girl her leaves keep coming out deformed, any ideas why or what I can do to get better leaves?
Iāve been having some difficulty with my African violet for a while now. It started looking like this when it was still indoors so I thought it needed more sun and once it was warm enough I put it outside and even repotted it a few days ago but itās still not doing well. I water it once or twice a week, not sure if thats too frequent. Not sure whatās going on and why.
Iām having trouble with my African Violet. She was so hearty and Iāve had her for years. I had to repot recently due to to green allege or fungusā¦but itās back!? Iām also currently treating a fungus knot outbreak from a plant my son brought home. Maybe they are related?
Had a botrytis blight strike my plants in self-watering planters on my covered patio. I have majorly cut back on many of them, sprinkled with cinnamon and sprayed with Neem oil. My peony has majorly suffered from this and has brown creeping up its stems (normally green) from their base, but the leaves are healthy. Although I have had to remove stems with leaves that were fine one day and were totally limp the next. Is it the fungus eating through the stem? It only has two surviving stems left! How do I stop this?!?
I cut this piece off. This poor baby needs help. I think it doesnāt have enough drainage. Before & after photos.
Potted today tall sunflowers. Decent seeds. This method.of.potting very successful normally
Can somebody please help? My colour was doing so well before I went away for the week and now it is just pretty much Dad and I donāt know whatās wrong or how to help any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Guys! What on Earth just happened? I was examining my Christmas cactus and the whole thing just popped off. Iāve been watering her on an appropriate schedule. The rest of the plant looks fine. Iām so sad- can these pieces be propagated?
Can anyone tell me what these white things are on my Calethea??
