I am struggling to work out if I have a problem pest. There are very tiny white insect visible on the soil surface. They have long bodies (as in not round) with antenna. They mostly crawl around but do jump if I move the plant. They are just on the soil, not on the leaves. The leaves are in good shape and colour so I’m hoping these are just soil mites but I would like some second opinions. I tried to take a picture but they are so small they are not going to show up. Thank you!

What should I do for this pothos with curling leaves and its new leaves not unfurling? It doesn’t get much light where it is and I just repotted it cause it was root bound. It is new.

is there anyway to revive a frozen money tree from being outside? So upset 😭😩

I have a catch 22 with my indoor house plants. They like being outside on my porch and thrive there. Much better there because they actually get some indirect sunlight. I prefer them there too because then I don’t get so many fruit flies from them inside. However, it has become winter and they no longer survive in the cold. I brought my money tree in and it appears to be frozen and not doing so well. So do I keep them inside, away from Sun which they don’t like, and I get fruit flies, or, can I put them on my patio and have them suffer the cold (30* at night)? I feel like I lose either way.

Hey guys. My Hoya publicalyx which is growing GREAT, she keeps pushing out tendrils and multiple leaves at the same time, she’s been in the same spot for a while ans gets good light. She’s acclimated and all that jazz, watered properly and has no pests (at least none u see) and this morning I noticed one of her long time tendril is turning orange. What can this be? Any help appreciated… She’s a gorgeous girl, she hugs herself a lot and sometimes let go as you can see at the top. Very happy plant

Is this scale? It doesn’t scrape off. Been treating with insecticidal soap spray and neem oil spray. It’s a monstera albo cutting. I’ve had it ~ a month and noticed this about 2-3 weeks ago. Not on any other plants. Should I try to remove them with tweezers?

Hi! I’m looking for some insight as to what is doing this to the leaves of my alocasia wentii. I can’t see anything moving.

Trying to save this triostar… I got it from a dollar store for $5 and it was so unhappy. It had many leaves but all of them half brown and crispy and all the leaves had hard water stains on top. I made the mistake of repotting it right away, but I did it anyway because I did not trust whatever was in that dollar store soil 😅 After a couple of weeks of settling in the new pot I cut down all the brown leaves and browned new growths. So sad, but even some new growths that looked kind of ok on the outside, were brown inside… maybe rot?? Not sure yet… I left the ONE leaf and the one new growth that looked good… This was around a month ago, still no signs of it getting better, but also no signs of it getting worse… other than that one leaf looking a bit droopy… If that one leaf dies, is there anything else I could do to save this plant? Would it regrow from nothing? I am not sure what to do next, just keep an eye on it? Ps: I used a soil mix with good drainage, I am using only filtered water, and I added some coco coir on top of the soil which I mist regularly to keep the moisture up + the pebble tray under the pot (my apartment is pretty dry now that the heaters are on). I appreciate any tips :))

I've had this plant since November. I repotted it and it's been so difficult to manage. I fed it water yesterday in hopes it would come back to life. Any tips or advice? Does she have a chance of survival? What am I doing wrong!? Please help!!!

Does the Aralia Fabian stump have a dormancy mode? About 2 weeks ago I moved from Atlanta to Boston and most of my plants did pretty well with the move but my Aralia Fabian lost all of her leaves and some of her stems are a little mushy. There’s really not much to do at this point, I just want to know if anyone has experienced this and if there is hope?

Does anyone know what’s happening to my rubber plant. I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

I just adopted this snake plant and it’s got some spots that look a bit rough! Any thoughts on what’s caused it, and how can I heal it?

So this Elephant Bush aka Portulacaria Afra has just dropped 11 leaves. One photo is from 11 days ago. The other two are from today, with and without encircled leaves. I’m guessing it’s a sign of too much water, but open to other comments if you’ve had any similar experience. PlantyAnn??Thank you in advance.
