Hi. I had a Cyprus and tropical plant on the front porch this past summer. I sprayed them with soap and changed the soil when I brought them in this fall. I was then plagued with gnats. I have done sticky tape, a sticky tape light, soap and even tried Hydrogen peroxide 3%. 4 tbsp per quart water to treat for eggs. They finally killed another tropical that was beside them. I finally put the two plants both outside again to get ahead. It seems to be working but it is getting cold out. Any suggestions?

Hello! I just came back from traveling for thanksgiving and found my plant looking like this. Anyone have any idea what is wrong?

Omg thank God it wasn’t a ladybug it was a miniature duck that my sister’s coworker left all over the store when she quit her job and moved🤣😂

Is it normal for plants sprayed with neem oil to get this stringy look? I don’t see any bugs or other signs of pests, and only see this on the leaves that were sprayed with neem oil so wondering if it’s just a part of the spray coming off? For background: I sprayed the plants maybe a couple weeks ago with neem oil for preventative reasons to keep off any potential pests. They haven’t been a probably since I got them a couple months ago

Does anyone have recommendations for a tomato plant? It has been lethargic for a while and then I found small egg (one) underneath the leaves. I’ve washed it multiple times and used neem oil but it seems tired.

Wintering over my friends cactus for her and this happened. Any clue?

Wanted to check in with people about my tradescantia. It was sitting in my north facing window, but I think the leaves look crispy like this because they were still getting too much light. I moved them away from the window and I’ve been keeping up with watering. The humidity in here also changed from around 60% to 30% so I figured I’d start using a humidifier. Just someone else to confirm, do we think the browning is from high light? And should I completely cut off these leaves or just leave them?

Day 5 on Thanksgiving vacation, having my recurring nightmare where I return home and all my plants died outside my care 🥲

Does anyone know what's going on with my little helicopter plant? About a month ago the whole plant had that brown stuff on it (it doesn't scrape off) so I cut off the whole top, sprayed everything with Neem and poured a mix of hydrogen peroxide and water through the soil. Now it has those new leaves coming up but some of them are brown too.

Anyone here know what’s going on with my fiddle leaf fig? Two leaves have holes which are slowly getting bigger. I have looked on the back of the leaves for signs of pests but don’t see anything? Help!!

HELP PLEASE Can you guys help me know what’s wrong with my airplant and how to fix it? I on accident suffocated it and now it’s like this. Please help.thanks

An Aloe Dorothea was brought to me because it’s struggling and with the hopes that I could help bring it back. I’m not sure if it’s overwatered or maybe has a pest or disease. It almost looks like it has black scabs with many of the leaves curling in. It looks like it’s browning with some dried leaves at the bottom. The black spots are under, around and on top of some of the leaves. I’m also hesitant to place it next to my other plants before knowing if it might impact the others. Really looking forward to advice! ❤️ Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

I’ve had this money plant for about three years. Last summer almost all of the leaves and branches on the bottom part of the plant turned yellow & I took then off. The plant became top-heavy & stayed that way for a few months. However in the past few weeks it’s starting to list to the side. I’m not sure what to do since it’s healthy.

I’ve had my Hoya Kerrii for a year or so and water only when dry and recently she developed a black spot that was spreading. I checked the roots and there were no visible signs of rot but I transferred it to a chunky mix and a terracotta pot. Since then she has another black spot and the starter leaf fully yellowed. What do I do? There’s no signs of pests that I can visibly see.

This is Mars(I have her listed as an Aloe but Im really not sure) and Im not exactly sure whats happening. This was taken about 2 weeks ago before her repot. Ive had her for about 2 years or so and around last year I noticed she was loosing leaves a lot(they would dry up or start browning). So I finally decided to look and this(the photo) is what she looked like. Since I didn’t know much about what was wrong I decided to take off her brown leaves and put her in some succulent/cacti soil. If i could get any help with her that would be awesome!

Am I trippin’ or is it thrips? I brought my camelias indoors yesterday to save from frost. I isolated it, Neem oil - the works. This morning this dot showed up on my monstera 20 feet away. I woke up middle of the night to check if any critters came out on the camelias just in case and there was one slender bug slowly climbing my camelia. It met a swift end 🪦 and I sprayed another round of Neem oil. I checked all other plants in the vacinity. Parsley, Wisteria were doing fine. Monstera was doing fine no white dots at that time and now 8 hours later this ⚪️ popped up and has me concerned. Is it too symmetrical to be thrips? Or maybe this one is aesthetic? When should I spray Neem oil again? Any other recs?

My plant, Bop, was placed under a closed window and wasn't watered for a long time and she is loosing lots of leaves in an unhealthy condition. The leaves brown, not fall off, I take them off. I moved her somewhere with more sunlight and gave her water, so she's hopefully doing better. Is there anything else I can do?

Not sure what is going on with this plant. I've managed to keep it alive from a rescue rack for a year but it doesn't thrive and I am constantly cutting off leaves when they dry out and turn black. Picture this and LeafSnap both tell me it's a fern. Planta told me it was a croton. Lol. It's in a north facing window in a bathroom. I water it when the top turns dry and it doesn't sit in water. Any thoughts?
