Hello fellow plant people! I had a question. At what temperatures can a plant start getting frost damage? I have a couple plants near my rear door and as it’s getting chillier out, I’m worried that they’ll be damaged but they get great light there. Currently the lows that the plants are experiencing are 40s+. Should I move them now or is it safe until temps go lower?

First time with a Hoya and I’m clearly doing something wrong… 😅 indirect light all day. Does it need more/less water? More/less sun? Help!!

What is causing this on my peperomia polybotrya? (Photos are focused on the brown marks on the underside of a leaf)

Please help, this is my first encounter with mealy bugs! Any tips and suggestions are appreciated! Enjoy the scary slideshow 🫣 This monstera is my favorite plant (don’t tell my pothos collection) and I found a mealy bug! 😭 I checked the front and back of all of the leaves. I dropped 91% Isopropyl Alcohol down the stalk 😅, where each leaf meets the stem, and wiped anything white off each leaf with an alcohol damp paper towel. Before I noticed the pest tonight, I set up a humidifier for the tips of a few leaves that started yellowing. Should I turn the humidifier off until I’m sure the pests are gone or does it not matter?

I noticed my snake plant last week just melted like this and there was no saving it. It completely turned to mush but I water it once or twice a month and the soil was completely dry when I noticed it like this. Would anyone here know what could’ve possibly happened? 😬

Is this normal to have this gray over green on plant? It was incredibly root bound & so am repotting. Hoping it is not dying!

I was repotting my arrowhead plant and what I think is one brown centipede ran out. I will replace all the soil but it’s an indoor plant. No harm to plant but should I be worried about it?

Hi there! Please help! My Stromanthe started to have these dry spots and tips on the leaves. Is it overwatering? I noticed the soil isn’t really getting dry and I don’t water it too often, as the app suggests

Any Ideas? I found this one leaf on my Pepper. I am not seeing any signs of pests or issues. What could be going on? It came from the space that looks a little wider. No other leaves are this way. 🧐

Curable???? My Croton experienced a draft and became droopy. I put it near a plant light but it started to stiffen so I moved it back to its location. Can it be saved?? 😞
