Good spider or bad spider? Idk if you can see the webbing and what looks like eggs in these pics. Y’all. There is a plant problem everywhere I turn. I’m trying so hard! What am I doing wrong?

I’ve taken on planting for the first time ever! I’m growing red bell peppers and today while inspecting all my plants I noticed these very small clear/beige looking bugs they almost look like bubbles, they’re on the leaves of my plants… any idea what they are? *** plants are outside in pots and brought inside for the evening/night as it’s still a little too chill at night right now

This orchid was doing really badly but luckily it started growing a new leaf. However I’m noticing the same black spots on the new leaf that are on the old leaves . I’m wondering what this is and how to treat it

Fungus gnats have become a problem over here. Never have I had an issue like this. I must have brought a new plant home and they just went crazy and now they are everywhere. I bought the sticky pads for all the plants and was advised to use this spray every 7 days until no more gnats are seen. Says safe for house plants, but now I’m scared it’s gonna hurt my plants. HELP!

Are my peace lilies dying? I water them once a week. I had them indoors but due to the browning of leaves I moved it to the back porch.

This is my philodendron, it has a TON of new leaves but none of them seem to want to unfurl. They have been like this for over two months. I’ve tried fertilizer and misting but nothing seems to be working to help them unfurl. Any tips would be appreciated!!

Does anyone know what these white dots are in my chameleon ZZ Plant? They’re in the top 3” of soil but all around the pot. I see nothing on my stems or leaves, nothings crawling around in the top layer of soil either. They just appeared in the last 2-3 weeks and aren’t in any other plant of mine. No recent pest infestations except a few fungas gnats here and there. There is perlite in the soil but it was well mixed and I repotted months ago. Should I do a soil flush? Or would hydrogen peroxide be ok? I watered a few weeks ago and the plant isn’t needing water anytime soon.

Was gifted a potted outdoor lemon tree, it was a little yellowing/brown when we got it and has only gotten worse… at first I thought underwatering so I pruned some dead leaves and diligently soaked it ~once a week/every 10 days, but it does not seem to be improving and maybe getting worse?? Finally got some citrus fertilizer 3 days ago and worked it into the top of the soil before watering, still no changes yet… any advice? It gets full sun, 50-60* weather with some wind, high humidity in this area so I am afraid of overwatering.

The lankies need help again! I watered them with fertilizer the leaves shriveled up. I dont know if this is normal for sunflowers or not but it doesnt seem normal.

Can anyone speculate on what is happening with my Chinese lantern plant? The bottom leaves keep turning yellow and there are little holes in them. I haven’t caught any bugs red handed but I see sugar ants on the philodendron right next to them so I know SOMETHING is sucking on my plants! 😡 These are south facing, zone 9, just fertilized and alternately sprayed with neem oil and horticulture oil in the last month (with time in between for recovery). Thanks in advance.

What’s going on with my Dieffenbachia Tropic Snow? We’ve had her about 2 months and recently noticed lots of yellowing leaves (see pictures). We’ve lost 2-3 due to yellowing. We’ve treated her with a fungicide and insecticide but she’s still having issues. Any ideas?

Rescue in the house ! Picked up this lil Monstera from the nursery yesterday. It was in the almost-dead $5 section. I clipped the long bare branch and cut into little guys to propagate. Now , what do I need to do with Cecelia , to bring her back to life ? TIA !
