Can anyone help me identify what these dark red, oblong, rice-shaped objects are? Are they eggs/pupa? đ
Few days ago, I found 3 white worms in the soil of my rosemary and succulents! đ± Instantly, I dug up my plants & repotted them in fresh soil. While removing the old soil around my plants, I found multiples of these rice-shaped objects! đ«Ł
P.S.: Research shows that cinnamon can help with deterring pests, so I sprinkled cinnamon on my plants, as well as sprayed Neem oil all over. Is it possible to spray too much?
Can someone please tell me if what Iâm doing is correct for my plants? Iâm rather new to gardening & I donât know what these strange red oblong objects are! đ„ș Thank you!

Whatâs happening to my stromanthe Talia?! It has these brown holes on its leaves where it looks like something ate most of the leaf leaving only the brown scaffolding of the inside of the leaf left.

I've never had a Monstera before and I bought this one on sale. The floppy leaf was already this light green color and it was pretty root-bound. I repotted it and wanted to know if I need to cut this leaf off or just leave it and see how it goes? I propped it up on the other leaves.

I just noticed a whole bunch of caterpillar type pests in the soil of our bamboo palm. Overall health seems good. Is this something I should be worried about?
Thanks!!

My Audrey ficus is starting to change yellow. Do I need fertilizer? I have only been watering itâŠ.

So Iâm trying my hand at carnivorous plants.. I have done a significant amount of research and Iâm not sure why some of my pinguiculas are losing their bottom leaves. I bought a specific soil for them (from the shop I bought them from) and keep them in about an inch of water (zero filtered water/reverse osmosis) I even test the water before use. I noticed my leaves are slowly being mushy and slimy and falling off underneath the plant. The top leaves look great. I have only had them a few weeks and have no other issues. They have caught a few bugs but I was instructed to feed them dried blood worms every two weeks if they are not catching anything. They are under 2 grow lights that I picked specifically because other carnivorous plant owners use them with success. I thought maybe they were sitting on âtoo wetâ of substrate so I led their reservoir dry out for a few days and then refilled. Since then I have notice that specifically my Hannah ping that was flowering, developed dried wrinkly leaves underneath/botttom of the plant that touches the substrate. I added water back to reservoir and my cyclosecta has mushy leaves underneath her đ I cannot find a balance!! What am I doing wrong ?!

Hi friends! I have this nice Watch Chain plant thatâs been doing pretty well, but, when I looked at the bottom I noticed this stuff. Some of it looks like mold :/ but the larger portion looks like eggs? Any ideas? Sorry the pic is a little blurry. Thank you in advance :)

There should be some recourse I can take with Planta I bought a money tree plant from them and it is invested with Thips. I am doing everything that has been recommended and it is not working. I get up in the morning and the plant is covered with eggs more and more leaves are infected. I am about ready to throw this 22$bug trap into the dumpster.

I just got this little guy from the nursery and everything about him is great I just want to double check to see if these brown spots are something that I should look out for, or to see if anything is wrong. Any insight would be great he is a tradescantia âAlbovittataâ.

Hello all!
Anyone know whatâs causing these spots/browning on my striped dracaena? Since getting it about a year ago it has been super happy and grown a ton! I repotted about 2 months ago but this has just started in the past week. Any help appreciated thanks!
