I thought my Dracaena had drained after the last watering. The app called for me to water it again and when I took him out of the planter, I discovered he was too moist and has wormy creatures walking around his soil. How do I get rid of them?! I didn't see these creepy crawlies two days ago when I looked at him! 😧🤢

I bought this plant from Trader Joe’s just a few weeks ago and it’s already looking really unhappy, seems like more than just shock. Any tips?

Just installed a grow light a couple days ago. I found this weirdly textured bubble thing on my Ghost plant and was wondering what it was.

A beginner needs help! I got this Bird of Paradise repotted and fertilized. I’m trying to get the leaves up to stop the bending. What’s the best way to do that? I’ve been fumbling with bamboo sticks and they don’t seem strong enough. Is this a lost cause and I should just cut them? The leaves are in great shape. It’s clear this plant was well loved until just recently.

Hi fellow plant lovers! I’m having a problem with an enormous amount of flies around my raised garden bed. I’ve read that it’s possibly from the potting soil? Is this a thing? Does anyone have any recommendations and/or experiences with this? Thank you! 😊

As you can see, my pink princess is having trouble being and staying pink. Most of her leaves are green and her one pink leaf is yellow. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix this?

So good news! my lovely elephant ears have new growth! Bad news, thrips! So I’m currently treating him, but I’ve also noticed his roots are popping out beneath his pot. Should I give him an up in size now and rinse him completely off, or wait til I can get rid of the pests?

i think i need to repot my golden pothos because the soil doesn't look super nutritious and its been a long time but i am TERRIFIED because this plant is like 20 years old and has been in this pot for almost that long. the plant is doing well, but i think it would do better with some new soil. the reason the plant isnt massive after being around for 20ish years is because my mom trimmed it a lot and also tried to kill it through neglect last year and i saved it. i want to keep it in the same pot even though its probably too big.

Hello, my Poinsettia has these white bugs or nests. I am not sure what they are or how to get rid of them. Please advise, thank you.

My Madagascar palm refuses to hang on to new leaves. They start to grow and then a few days later they turn black and shrivel up. This has been happening for a few years and I’ve tried more water, less water, more light, less light, soil change and nothing seems to work. I’ve checked the roots and they look very healthy. Any advice?

This was found on a leaf of my split leaf philodendron when I was cleaning the leaves. I cut the leaf off and am wondering if it is something I need to treat the plant for?

I rescued this poor guy from my besties windowsill, he was shoved behind a couch and forgotten 😭 When I took him home he was barely green, mostly brown/grey and I’ve given him some TLC, the left pic is when I had him for about four days and picture on the right is me having him for two weeks. I’ve repotted, and fertilized, and been misting. Does anyone have any other advice with helping its recovery? Should I take off or leave the more damaged pieces or are some scars ok? Ty in advance!

My Striped Calathea had been really healthy until it crisped up last week (I moved out of the direct light). My cat chewed on it a little in the new location , so I moved it again. Now I've noticed some pests that look kinda like tiny spider. My poor plant seems to stressed. Any idea what the pests are and how to help it recover.

Hello! I acquired this Bird of Paradise. Some of the branches are obviously bent but none are completely broken. Do I cut off the stems that are bent? Or keep taking care of her to try and get them back?

I’m new with plants and when I got this one it was healthy but some of the leaves died and I took them off. Now the biggest leaf is brown and dried at the end and I don’t know why. Please help!
