New Plant Mom

I am a new plant mom and need advice on how to take care of my anthurium plant. I water when the soil is dry and it is next to but not in a window. But it is still having brown spots, and I can’t tell what is natural and what I need to do to help it.

Hi everyone, had a pretty bad fungus gnat problem recently I have done 2 mosquito bits treatments and read somewhere that if you put about a half inch layer of sand over the medium that can help to prevent adult gnats from being able to lay new eggs in the soil and newly hatched eggs to be able to escape. The sand combined with the mosquito bits seems to have worked extremely well but while using my moisture meter the couple plants I have put sand on top have much higher soil moisture level. Is the sand preventing the soil from being able to aerate and dry out naturally? Trying to avoid root rot here. Thanks so much in advance

Can anyone help me figure out what’s going on with my ficus triangularis? It’s been dropping leaves like crazy and I’ve noticed some of them have spots on them. Is it a pest or disease? Or water issue? Or something else?

Hello! I have spidermites on two plants for the first time. I washed them and used some bug be gone eco6 days ago but I still see 1 or 2. How do I get rid of them? Is it a long process? I caught it really early thankfully but I would like to save my plants

Does anyone know why the “leaves” are shriveled? And some of the ends look dried up. Do I need to water it more? I water it like once month

Help! I got Lily a week ago and repotted her. The new soil and pot I got had a hard time draining her and my new apartment gets more sun than I’m used to and I accidentally sunburnt her a little. After watering yesterday her spots got worse and developed white spots on the bottom of the leaves. I think she’s over watered, so I repotted her in (moist but not wet) soil with more pearlite and a rocky layer at the bottom. I didn’t see any root rot but I’m hoping the repotting in drier and better draining soil helps! I trimmed her leaves too but any help or tips is appreciated!! Has anyone else gotten little white dots on the bottom of their leaves?

I think my peperomia is dying. I had my boyfriend water my plants for half of May while I was out of the country, and they never really recovered from being over watered and in dim light/shade. The red tint that the back of the leaves are known for seems to be very faint, and the leaves aren’t as strong as they used to be. It also seems like it takes much longer for the soil to dry between waters. Any tips? Is it ?

can anyone tell me why these new unfurled leaves already have crispy black spots? there are two new leaves that both have black spots like this. (ignore the paper had to use it to help focus the camera lol) repotted about 3 weeks ago and no root rot or anything like that. could repotting possibly be the cause…? thank u for anything!!

How the heck did this thing get mealybugs when it wasn't near any other plant and it's been in the same spot for two years?

Help. I repotted my string of dolphins into a container with drainage and succulent soil about 2 days ago. It was pretty wet so I did not water it. It’s under a grow light for 12 hours a day. I moved it over there in the light about a week ago. In my other post asking for help, people have told me to see how it goes in the new container, others have told me to choose the green part and propagate it, or to cut the green part and put it in water to grow roots. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to loose this plant. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you.

Hi all ✌🏾 Just came back from a weekend away to find my ficus elastica has a little, um, thing sprouting from the bottom, just above the soil line. Overall growth on him is okay, so I’m wondering what this is, or if any action is required? Also just noticed those 2 additional fungus looking shoots coming from the surrounding area. Healthy mix perhaps? Haven’t repotted recently soo..

Any idea what’s going on here? My fiddle leaf fig is sitting in a a sunny south facing window. I’m using a 2:3 perlite to soil mix and the humidity reading in this area is 70%. I repotted her about a week ago; could this be root shock?

I have a Gardenia. I used the contact Planta support and it has been two weeks with no response. I repotted this, added more drainage and gardenia specific fertilizer and nothing seems to help bring it back. Is this gone? Is there a way to save it? I live in central Florida this Gardenia is on my Lanai.
