My bush poppy has been developing small black spots on leaves and then those leaves are dying/whole branches are being lost. The plant is still flowering, but growth has been very stunted. I don’t obviously see any pests, though these small black spots I suppose could be small bugs, I’m not sure.

Seems like my plant may need some help :/ not sure what the cause of the yellowing is as it’s getting plenty of sun, maybe under watering? And the browning new leaf that’s coming through, I have no idea

Hey guys, Really inexperienced plant mum here. My string of pearls has been hard to take care of… so I’m likely overreacting… but can someone please help me confirm if it has spidermites? I noticed this little web looking thing this morning:

Wondering why some of my beans are having such difficulty and others aren't. There are three possible varieties here (I planted randomly just to see what stuck- French filet, "eureka" yellow, and royal burgundy). The burgundys that came up are doing pretty well (besides some problems with over sunning from the heat) but I can't figure out why the green/yellow are suffering so bad. Considering repottting as a solution but idk

Any tips for getting rid of a mealybugs infestation on my monstera? I’ve been using both a systemic pest control solution & I wipe away any visible mealybugs with neem oil on a daily basis. The amount of mealybugs I’m finding has drastically decreased, but it’s been months & there are still some popping up. Should I just continue with the same treatment til they’re entirely gone? Or is there something else I can do? Thank you!!

Any tips for keeping a snake plant alive? I’m new to plants, and was told that snake plants are easy. But I’ve killed 2 so far 😞 Maybe they’re just not the plant for me?

Help!My dragon tree some of the leaves are turning yellowish brown and are falling off not understanding why. Any advice would help, it’s being watered properly and gets plenty of sunlight.

Help! Chinese evergreen—is this root rot, natural leaf drop, or a disease? Maybe too much direct sun? Yellow drooping leaves (oldest) and spots/yellow color developing, wrinkly leaf or two

I recently bought this Chinese money plant about two weeks ago and I have been taking care of it, but the stems are drooping. Is this normal or an issue?
