I’ve heard a lot about death drops for gnats where do you guys recommend getting them I’ve never seen them out and about before. (For Canada)

Does this look like a pest issue or a disease issue?? I was thinking it might be scale… thank you for help in advance!!

Recently got string of turtles. The plant looked amazing when it come. However, loads of leaves dropped off, thought this was probably normal for this plant. But I go to repot it and the soil is DRENCHED. So I have repotted it. Week later like 1/3 of the plant has just turned dark and squishy like it’s been over watered. I have not watered this plant and have only misted it every few days? Can someone please help me. I feel like it is shock from that big water, new home, repot…

My flowering dogwood doesn’t look like it’s doing well. It flowered this year and we’re currently in a very dry to very wet season. When reading about it it says that this could be powdery mildew, but I’m unsure if that’s true or how to treat it safely. Any advice? On what this could be or how to treat it? Thank you! 💗

Small black bugs are damaging my plants, and they are spreading to nearby plants as well. I am killing them by squeezing them and using neem oil. Is it worth the effort to fight them, or are my plants going to die anyway? Should I separate them from the other plants and give up on saving them?

Curious what this may be and how to treat it. My first guess is scale and to treat with rubbing alcohol but I’ve never dealt with this and would love some advice. Thanks.

If I need to buy BT for the possibility of fungus gnats, as posted in the previous text, what would be the best product to buy? And would BT be the best product to prevent more fungus?

Anyone have any idea why my plant is suddenly looking so sad 😢 Recently moved it in to the sun as it looked like it wasn’t getting enough, but now it looks worse!

Please tell me these are not fungus gnats. I put these traps in because I was seeing some of these teeny bugs flying around, but I thought they were just gnats in general. Now I’m not so sure…🤗💚🪴

I just got a sensitive plant just a few weeks ago, and it hasn’t been doing super well. It already has some yellow and brown-edged leaves when I got it, but it’s only gotten worse since then. I have it under grow light and by a window, run a humidifier near it fairly frequently, and water it as recommended, but it’s just not doing great. Does anyone have an idea of what’s wrong or what I could try to fix it?

My mint is starting to get some dark spots on its leafs, I don’t know why this has happened and I’m worried about it. This plant has had aphid problems before but I have gotten rid of them by putting a few drops of soap in my spraying bottle. It also has an ongoing gnat problem. Located near a window and room temp is ~78 degrees Fahrenheit

Why is this drooping? I just fertilized it today.

Why are my new Monstera leaves growing with damage on them? They are indoor and I see no visible pests!

Are these June bugs? My fiance keeps finding many of these coming out of the soil in his one week old potted weed plants. Will they damage his baby plants?

Please don’t tell me this is thrips damage… I just came home from a trip and I found my Philodendron had some discoloring on the leaves and these small brown spots. I have never had thrips before but after searching up some pictures of thrips damage I thought this looked a bit similar. I can’t see any pests but I know it’s extremely hard to see thrips and most of the time. TIA!!! 😓🪴

Hi, I have a monsters that I’ve kind of neglected for a while and it’s leaning like crazy. It’s been watered maybe every other week, but it can’t stand up straight.

How do I rescue this Wicked Witch? I found it abandoned in my apartment complex laundry room, sitting in about a half inch of water. I have an east facing window that’s making a Ginseng Ficus very happy that I’m hoping will help rescue this sad little thing, but I’m not sure how to rescue this. The soil is so damp that it spills everywhere if I squeeze the pot. Should I repot it into something bigger so that all that moisture can get absorbed?

Help! My dieffenbachia leaves wont stop yellowing I’ve only had it about a week or two and I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. It gets lots of sun, I don’t think I’ve over watered it and it doesn’t have any pests I don’t know what I could change.
