I got overly confident in my plant abilities and got a fiddle leaf fig… mistake number 1, I know. I’ve had it for about a month and it recently started dropping leaves and a few of them have had strange brown areas on them. I haven’t changed anything regarding its care and I use a water bulb to water it as I have found that my figs tend to prefer those of other watering methods. Anyone have any idea what’s going on?

Please I need a LOT of help with this plant: This plant has been doing really shitty for the past week. I thought it was just because it was throwing a tantrum for water (pot was super dry and light) but I realized that there’s tons of bugs living on it. I’ve been dealing with a spider mite infestation on my elephants ear but it’s definitely not that. The little black insects look almost like worms and move around like them as well. There’s also a weird amount of black spots around the edges of leaves and maybe that’s related??? I’m going to chop a good chunk of leaves not if I can’t diagnose so please help. In the meantime, I’ve been spraying with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water to not kill the leaves but to kill whatever’s residing on here

Can this be a spider mite or is it just a harmless spider? Every day I have yellowed stems like this in my philodendron and idk if it’s just normal or if something is sucking the life out of them.

Does anyone know if what this means? My columbine plant has weird white spots on its leaves. It just started in September, and I grew it from seeds this May. Is it just the end of its growing cycle?

Tell me chat, How screwed are these petunias? Yesterday I noticed thripes and even lil white crawling things that I haven’t identified yet on these petunias. I’m Trying to help my emo petunias out. But seems like they might be a lil far gone. Here’s what I’ve done so far to treat them … Step I gave the stems and leaves a good rinse to knock as many of those wretched creatures as I could off and down the sink. Step 2. Quarantined it WAY outside my site indoors. (And it will stay out there until it can start to act right) Step 3 I treated them with organic neem oil. (I’ll be honest, Chat. This only seemed to make them angrier and freakier and want to have more babies)(Neem chemical romance if you will.. And today, I come outside. Hoping to find thripe carnage and devastation. And they appear to be laughing and getting nasty right in front of my eyes. These emo petunias were black and awesome at one point.

Help ! I’m stupid and repotted this baby when I brought her home and didn’t give her a chance to acclimate to my home. I put her in sol soils chunky soil and put in some repot recovery and watered her last night and this morning she looks so pitiful. I moved her under a soft grow light and watered her again since this app told me to re water her. Is there anything else I can do to help her ?? TIA 🫶🏽

If my monstera is yellowing due to underwatering, will watering stop the yellowing from progressing? (I’m assuming it’s due to underwatering because the dirt is BONE DRY)

Not really a problem so much as planning ahead, but this Sedum Adolphi just keeps growing taller and I’m worried it won’t have enough of a foundation and that the stems will fall over/snap off. I propped them up with toothpicks, but any other tips?

Ok, this is my silver nerve plant and I’ve had it for a LONG time. I was wondering if I should take a cutting from it and just throw the whole thing out. If I should do that please tell me how to cut and where I should cut it and if anybody has a growing one please send me a picture. Thank you!!!

My mum got me this Lemon tree a while back. It’s been doing decently well but I haven’t needed to water it in at least two weeks. It along with some of my other plants soil stays damp and doesn’t dry out, it started to get a little mold growing on it. I’m new to this and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, can anyone help?
