This satin pothos I’ve had for a few years and it is so slow growing and the leaves are constantly curling. I haven’t watered it in quite awhile and my moisture meter says it’s still moist, it’s near a window and gets a decent amount of light, any ideas?

I don’t know why some of my leaves are yellowing- could someone help, thank you 😊 I have a grow light on it about 6 to 12 hours a day, is that too much. Otherwise it doesn’t get light.

Is anyone getting fungus gnats around their windows? I have them only around two of my windows. The plants in that room are not having much issues. I have been rotating fungus gnats drops and mosquito bits for months. I have sticky traps in every plant. I recently brought in a fern. There isn’t one fungus gnat in that sticky trap. The fern is on a separate level of the house that the windows with issues are on. I’m at a loss. I put sticky traps in the window ledges but they look gross and I want a permanent solution.

One of the leaves on my gold dust croton is crinkled, I'm new to indoor plants and have never seen this before. If anyone knows why this happens, what it means or how to prevent it, please comment, as it would be very helpful!

Noticed this fungus several days if not a week after repotting into this bigger pot, and adding used ground coffee beans fertiliser. Anyone know what type of fungus this is? How to handle it and what other threats it poses?

What the heck happened to my spider plant. It was fine two days ago and all of a sudden. The leaves are super soft and not crunchy … I was getting full sunlight.

How do I get this to stop happening? I’ve pest controlled this plant three times already, at this point I just keep it separate from the rest. Whatever it is I hate seeing it on the top of this plant specifically. Please help 🥹

Help! What's happening to my child 😭 ?? It was fine like a week ago. Then just recently I notice dark kinda mushy parts showing up on some of the leaves and they are curled a bit inward on some of them. I checked the roots and they look alright to me. The soil is moist slightly from about a week ago from watering. It was kinda dry before that I think. Is this trauma from sudden watering?? I have recently sprayed a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, dawn dish soap, neem oil and a few drops of higher grade orange essential oil added to the mix cuz neem oil smells like ass. Is this something that could have caused this so fast? The plant sits in a window that gets non direct light. Please help ;_;

What do I spray on my flowers to keep bugs off of them? I tested out regular bug spray on some weeds, and they died almost immediately.

Lots of brown leaves coming and I’m not sure if it’s too hot or what’s happening with it but it doesn’t seem healthy right now. Any advice or tips?

I would love some help on this palm.. got it like a month & a half ago. Why does it start turning yellow? I’m scared to over water it so does anyone have a routine that works? I probably watered it twice since I got it 😬It sits under a 11w grow light for 12 hours daily.

I have a bunch of these plants but none of the others are doing this. The leaves are turning yellow and falling off. With my other elephant bushes the leaves will shrivel up and then fall off if it's too dry, but these leaves are really plump so I'm not sure what's happening??

Hi! I’ve been regularly watering my Christmas cactus as it starts to dry out, and it was doing really well until about two weeks ago. It’s under a grow light for eight hours a day, and the soil is currently damp, but it’s been droopy and hasn’t perked up no matter what I’ve done. Dr. Planta says it’s underwatered, which is what I thought at first too, but extra water hasn’t helped, and neither has cutting back on the water. I wanted to see if anyone else had better ideas, as my other cactus (red pot) is doing really well. Thanks in advance!

Hey all I have a purple inch plant and recently it lost most of its vines. I trimmed the end of each vine and have them in water hoping to propagate them again. Does anyone have an explanation for why this might have happened?

Hi All, First post! I’m in Zone 6B, Buffalo, and this past summer was my first experience with cucumber beetles and they ruined my entire cucumber section in the raised bed. My question is should I clean out the entire raised bed (8’x4’) of all of the dirt to get the overwintering beetle eggs out or is there something I can do to the soil to kill the eggs before spring that won’t hurt my vegetables next summer.
