Help! Is this mould in the soil of my miniature roses? It has a fluffy dry texture. I’ve done some looking online but I can only find information on mould on rose stems and leaves but nothing about mould in the actual soil?
They are miniature roses (indoor). I water roughly every 5 days but I need to increase as I’ve noticed the soil is drying out very quickly.
Any suggestions on how to save or do they need to go? I have a beautiful bloom on one of them so I will be sad if I can’t save her :-(

HELP!!! I went to turn my precious Thai in the window and saw THIS! I noticed the edge of a leaf browning just a hair a couple weeks ago, but I thought it was a fluke. I’ve had this girl for a couple years now and have never had any issue. Why does she have brown spots????

What could be causing these brown spots???
They seemed to appear over night, seem to be on all the leaves.
I haven’t moved the plant recently so I don’t think it’s sunburn.

help! ants!
i left my large aloe outside all season and a colony of ants settled in without me noticing. i’ve already repotted her, cleaned the pot, and tried to shake off as many ants and eggs as possible. then, i brought her inside away from the door. just today i noticed a trail of ants making their way back to her inside! i’ve now surrounded her with cinnamon as i’ve heard this is supposed to help deter them. i’m afraid another repot down/ shaking her out to her roots again will kill her! what should i do??

I have this moon cactus that i haven’t had for a year and the yellow one has gone downhill. I haven’t watered it in over a month so I thought it just needed water and would perk back up but it didn’t and now it’s mushy and translucent. I looked up these cactus are prone to root rot but I don’t water any of my cactuses often so I don’t think it’s that, I could definitely be wrong so any help would be appreciated!

Elephant ear not getting bigger.
This elephant ear I got a few months ago was losing its leaves when I bought it and started growing new when I thought it died. Although it has 2 leaves right now the moment it grows a new leaf such as this, (the lush green one is newest, there isn’t any others in the center), the old one dies (the one with brown edges is on its way out). I’ve had this cycle repeat a numerous amount of times and have lost quite a few leaves that could have replenished the plant.
I’m not sure what is wrong, it’s watered on a regular basis (drainage holes in the bottom) and the temperatures shouldn’t be harming it. The only issue I could think of is sunlight since it’s getting around 4 hours a day of not fully direct, but not indirect sunlight. I don’t know if that would be the case since this issue has been going on since it was receiving part sun/part shade since July.
If anyone knows what the issue could be I would greatly appreciate trying anything I can to bring this plant back to health.

whats wrong with my watermelon peperomia? i repotted her for the first time about over a week ago. im currently dealing with a white mold problem, but im not sure if that has anything to do with the black spots on the back of my leaves. i took a dying leaf off for a better look at the back.

My grapevine leaves are spotted and turning a yellowish color. I understand going into fall the plants aren’t getting as much sun and ultimately the leaves will fall and the vine goes into hibernation, but what disease causes the spotting and discoloration? What can I do to save the grapevine? Please advise!
