I’ve got some light colored spots on my philodendron leaves in my greenhouse. Could these be burn spots from water droplets in the sun?

Help! my pink princess is doing semi well but each leaf that has a lot of pink on it grows these brown spots. It is watered well and I replanted it recently to check for rot and the roots seemed fine. It’s only happening on the pink parts of the plant. Please send help what is wrong? (It is also in a south east window and gets a good amount of light)

i found these 2 strange bumps on the under side of a pothos leaf. i tried to flick off the one towards the bottom and you can see what was underneath the skin. these are only on one leaf, all the others are all normal. anyone know what this might be? my plant app doctors aren’t helping btw my pothos had a mealybug infestation 2 few weeks ago it wasn’t an emergency situation as i caught them early on and was able to knock them all out in a couple days. appreciate any help !

Help, all of a sudden the leaves began to droop down and smaller ones underneath are yellowing and drying out entirely.

No more worrying about aphids once you catch Mother Nature’s best exterminator patrolling your plants. It’s crazy that a single lady bug will eat 50-100 aphids a day. Natural pest control is the best pest control!

Hey guys! I notice several of my outdoor plants have this “peppered” look to their leaves and I’m not sure why. Any thoughts? I see a spiderweb on one but it doesn’t look like spider mite web and I notice a few of these skinny black bugs that look like fleas but not an infestation I would say. It has also been very hot, 90’s but feels like 100’s.

Update on Gray Sliver They Are Doing good i did. clean em little bit bcuz I saw a web and the web didn’t turn red nor did the bug (not the same from yesterday) it’s little black dots another is Gray is very fragile I can’t touch him or he might lose a left if I’m to hard but I will prograte him soon after I get back home from the trip and Gray needs another pot. This one is in more than up Gray is more 3 plants in one so they did give another pot for free like 6inch or 7half inch pot which is good for Gray , oh yea the bug yesterday I swiped it with a plastic bag bye bye bug

I have four plant babies and Fred is the only one giving me issues. His tips even on new growth is brown. I’ve decreased watering and I’ve reported him into a smaller pot so that there is more airflow. I do believe I over fertilized about a month ago but I haven’t fertilized since then. Is it just the affects from that or could it be a larger problem?

I haven’t watered my Pothos in about 4 weeks. Are the yellowing an indicator of underwatering? My other Pothos are fine with my watering schedule.

This is Veruca. She was named that because she’s an obnoxious spoiled brat that is never happy. Lol. Seriously, I’ve had her for over a year and tried her in almost every spot in the house and she just doesn’t do well. I had her in my kitchen window and she did well for a while but now I have spent all morning picking these brown leaves off her. I was thinking of cutting the ends off and rooting them, but I’ve tried that before and they always rot. Any advice please?

Any ideas as to what’s going on with this guy? Recently, halfway up the stem and moving upwards, the leaves are dying. I was told it was a magnesium deficiency, so I added Epsom salts to its water. It doesn’t seem to be doing much good though. Should I be more patient or is it something else?

Desperately need help!! I am leaving tomorrow for a 9 day vacation and I just found my very first ever mealybug on this White Knight leaf that newly unfurled. I've had it for a month or so and it never had any bugs before now! What do I do? Should I just toss this plant? How do you know where the eggs are? I don't see any mealybugs in any of my other plants nearby upon a quick inspection (will do a more thorough one later after my kids are asleep) but I simply don't have the time to deal with this right now and I'm afraid they will decimate my whole collection while I'm away! What should I do? I did recently get a couple of new, small plants online (expensive ones! Two 3-leaf monstera Thai cons in 3" pots) that came in last week and are in the same room as this one but about 3' away on a windowsill, but they don't have any bugs, and this one is further away from the window on my desk under a grow light.

I’m guessing this is root rot with my ZZ. Is the rhizome ok? Many pictures they look more white. I plan to leaf and stem propagate this… but what do I do with the rhizome?
