I’ve been a plant parent for about 04 years now & for the first time I’m dealing with spider mites. I came back from a mini vacay & all three of my pothos that were hanging together were infected! Luckily my neon & golden weren’t too bad but these tiny little leaves are gonna be the death of me! Soap, neem oil & a good hose down. Debating on spraying with a bit of alcohol & water solution after all this just to add an extra umpff.
My beloved string of turtles is being taken over by aphids 😩 I’ve been waging war on them for going on two months, using a combination of diluted neem oil (full strength kills my plants) and physically plucking the buggers off my plant with tweezers. I was away for a week and they’ve come back with a vengeance, eating most new growth near the roots and causing bigger leaves to fall off. Does anyone have any tips for getting rid of these pests for good?
so ever since i got my marble queen i’ve had issues but the big one is no matter what almost every single leave is torn and idk why
Hi plant people! Any idea what would cause these spots on my ghost plant? It’s hard, not soft or fuzzy. It’s almost feels like a scar, but the plant hasn’t been damaged. Thanks in advance! 🙏
Help! I can’t keep parlor palms alive. My husband loves them so I keep trying but this thing is drying out like crazy!I put it outside for the summer and it did amazing. As soon as I brought it in, it started drying out. I’m watering it correctly. It’s in medium bright light away from a window but close to a grow light. The humidity in the house is great and last winter I literally had it a foot away from the humidifier and it was still doing this. It’s temporarily hanging out in the bathroom until I can figure it out. Any thoughts?
My monstera has been doing really well since I got her two months ago. She’s now growing her third new leaf but I see these spots on it. Does anyone know what this is?
Hoya unhappy! I recently repotted her from a terracotta pot that I placed in this hanging basket to see if she liked the location, and she did fine. After repotting, she’s struggling. The basket has a coco liner and soil, that’s it. Do I need something else to help retain moisture maybe? She gets morning light in this location.
Black spot on one of my monstera leaves , anybody got any idea why? and how i could get rid of it? many thanks
I just got myself a majesty palm from my local Home Depot, i know they’re absolute spider mite magnets. I believe she’s healthy right now and in quarantine for a week, but is there any advice y’all have to avoid spider mites?
Can someone help me figure out what this is? This leaf is just now opening and I see all these tiny spots. I have a fungus gnat issue I’m trying to battle, is this from them?
i have a baby leaf on my monstera deliciosa that has turned brown. i think i went too long before watering, but would i be able to salvage it? all the other leaves are fine
Help - family member bought us a fiddle leaf for housewarming. I know they’re a bit harder to take care of and have researched. However, cannot figure out what this is, or how to go about it? Thanks in advance, any advice is helpful!
Got this giant aloe from my Mom.. I loved how big it was, but it was an eye sore to say the least.. leaning over one side of the pot (which I couldn’t take) with lower stems drooping down and oozing. I feel as if it has been sitting in water.. had root rot. Hopefully I’ve saved it enough to where it can become healthy again. It does have some bright new starts coming thru the middle, & had a patch of babies I separated into another pot.
I have a sugar cane jujube in the backyard, and it’s looking a bit worse for wear. It it the temperature? Or is it whatever is eating the leaves? Photos: A cutting from the plant
my mom: “hey i have a plant i forgot about in my room that needs your help” the plant: i just drenched it in water and i’m waiting if it shows any signs of life but i have no hope lol, just posting cuz it’s funny that she thought this needed help that thing needs a resurrection

Does anyone know what these milli worms are and how to treat them?
Hi all! Does anyone have any experience with these Amblyforce packets? I see little mites in the soil of a few plants but no issues with them at all so I’m just wondering if it’s the beneficial mites I see. My instinct was to spray with neem right away but if there’s no problem then i don’t want to kill them if I don’t need to 🤷🏻♀️
