I’ve inherited this insulin plant from my mom she’s kept it I the backyard in a shaded area for 5 year’s and is now about 5 feet tall and actually has a flower. My plan is to repot and possibly cut down or even propagate to have the plant more lush. I need some expertise to carefully do this. Any tips ????

Can someone tell me what might be going on with my Chinese evergreen? The roots are fine and it hasn’t been repotted. Whenever I water it doesn’t perk back up….

Hey! My tomato plant has a few tomatoes but the stems and leaves are not going well at all. The past few weeks the leaves have turned yellow and a take them off every time but now it’s gotten to the point where there are so many of the yellow leaves. The stems have also just recently become brown and speckled. Any idea on what it is and what I should do? I thought it was overwatered so I haven’t been watering it unless it light rains and I have been giving it nutrients, but I don’t know what else to do. Please let me know what I should do.

I got this flamingo lily for my birthday a few weeks ago and placed it in Planta’s recommended spot in my house. I just noticed the flower on the right today; is this because it’s getting too much sun?

Tips on keeping squirrels / opossums away from my jade and other plants on a 2nd story balcony? Some creature (assumed squirrel since I know we’ve got a few in the area) keeps snacking on my jade and knocking other plants over. I don’t have a ton of space to work with to deter the squirrels and I have hummingbird friends that I do NOT want to scare off. Any advice?

Is this mold???
This is what the draining holes at the bottom of the 14”inch pot in which my Philodendron Red Congo lives.
Should I dig him out and change the soil?

Is this a rose slug do you think? I can’t see any on my climbing rose but I do see a few ants? Thank you!

I watered my snake plant today and discovered what looks like mites in the soil. They are VERY small and they don’t appear on any of the leaves, just in the wet soil.
What are these bugs?
How did my plant get them?
Are they a risk to me or my 2 indoor cats?
How can I get rid of them?

Could this crispy spot on my peperomia be due to under watering? Noticed it while watering today. I keep it under grow lights.

My Tornado Dracaena is rapidly getting worse! It’s the one plant I struggle to keep alive. The leaves are turning blotchy bright yellow and the tips are turning back. Could this be from over watering? I looked up tips and it was recommended to repot it in dry soil so I tried that. Any tips or recommendations would be helpful.
Thanks!

I believe my plant is a Persian Shield, but it lost a lot of the purple color and has become really crunchy. It’s one of my newer plants and I’m not sure why it’s doing this and why it’s losing color. This all started happening about 3 months ago but recently started getting crunchy and browning on the edges. Help!!!

my alocasia leaves have brown ends, it came like this from the garden centre however i'm wondering what caused this so that i can help avoid it with its new leaves it's growing (it's grown 2!) and so that i can also prevent it from spreading, so i need to snip the ends off? remove the leaves as a whole?

Are these bites from a mouse? There aren’t any droppings on the surface my plants are on, but idk what else it could be

Plant doctor says overwatering. Don't think that's right. Any ideas? I cleaned off the leaves with an alcohol wipe and sprayed them with a neem oil mix and put the plant in quarantine just in case.

my parlor palm has some leaves that are becoming discolored. she does get direct sun for about 4-5 hours a day so I think it may just be sun burn. i’m more worried if this could be mites?? she has some little white dots but no other signs

My tropic snow plant has this dying leaf. I bought it dying without realizing but it appears to be getting worse. Does anyone have a cause/fix?

Help, my string of pearls was looking very healthy until about a week ago, and now most of its ‘strings’ are either becoming shriveled or rotten and there’s some sort of mold/ miniature ant-like animals running around the soil

Help!! My monstera albo has some sort of pest. I bought an insecticidal soap and hope this will kill it but I want to make sure it actually will work for this type of bug. Any advice?
