This maranta is in bad shape. I repotted it a month ago and it didnāt help. Iāve tried the greenhouse and other light conditions. Today I realized it has some spots on it so I used systemic insect control on the soil and neem oil on the leaves. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong or any suggestions?

Help! My beautiful flourishing peace lily drooped in a matter of 1 day!! š±šæ I had a small grow lamp on it while I was at work Tuesday, but Iāve used it before about once a week or so. I took it into the shade for 1 day now and itās not recovering. š„ŗ
I also repotted it 5 or 6 nights ago. I took it out of the nursery pot into a pot with no drainage BUT thereās a big layer of rocks followed by a big layer of āsmart gravelā pebbles. I watered it the night I repotted but not too much. Soil is a little damp but not much.
thank you! xoxo

What does this look like? Plant is growing wonderfully and newer leaves look great. Some older leaves have just a bit of yellow, but this leaf caught my eye because of the weird spotting/speckling that is new. No clear signs of pests. Not sure if itās just yellowing and Iām being crazy or if itās maybe a fungal issue??

Please help! Whatās happening to my Peace Lily?!?!?!?! EDIT: Alright, Iāll move it out of the sun and try to water it consistently (and prune the dying leaves). If that doesnāt work, Iāll flush out the soil in case of some sort of mineral/fertilizer buildup.

Does anyone know why the leaves at the base of the stems on my Tradescantia Zebrina (inch plant) are paling?

Does anyone know what could be causing this damage to the leaves? Itās only happening to the older larger leaves.

Anyone else having problems with fungus gnats? I keep getting them in the same plants (begonias) that I repotted with MiracleGro all potting mix. They have sand on the top and their draining holes are covered. I donāt know what else to do. Iām also watering them with mosquito bits, but they keep coming back. Help!

I was so happy with my first plant flourishing but looks like it was short lived. My jade is developing tan spots on leaves. Iām in zone 10a but it has been unusually cold and cloudy this year. I may have overwatered a couple of times but havenāt watered for last 2 weeks. However, it is getting worse. Is it the 80% humidity combined
with my over enthusiastic overwatering or is it something else? Please help me save it!

Does anybody have any experience with these white patches on money trees? I just got this one recently and I want to know if itās something I should take action on.
The roots arenāt growing out of the bottom and itās definitely not in direct sunlight.

Not sure if u can see it, but I just took a good look at the soil of this plant, and I noticed this thing that looks similar to a spider web, does anyone know what it is? Pls help.

Croton help. Iāve had this Croton for 6 or so years and finally decided to repot it. Itās been two weeks and it started drooping after 3 days. Any ideas?

Feltbush help!
I got this guy a couple of weeks ago from my favorite local nursery. Some of the damage is physical, but Iām concerned about the brown/black spots that are developing.
This is on my patio in Los Angeles (zone 10a). It accidentally got watered an extra time but other then that I donāt know what it could be.

I recently repotted my monstera adansonii, and now about a week later it looks like this, almost all of the leaves have some kind of damage, these are just the worst. Is this pest damage? Fungus? My best guess rn is thrips but ive never dealt with them before. Help please!

I am using a neem oil insecticide/fungicide to treat my dwarf fiddle leaf fig that has mealy bugs. Am I supposed to mist/spray down the plant and leaves with water a few minutes after applying or just leave it be?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I have this beautiful tradescantia that recently started yellowing leaves. Any idea why? Itās healthy enough to start flowing! And I know tradescantia can be finicky and naturally lose too leaves.
Maybe more watering? I do see some roots growing out of the drainage hole. More space?

Does anyone know what the tiny little midges/flies are that hang out around some potting mix? I have my pointsetta and my money plant in the same potting mix, and they both have teensy little flies around them. The flies donāt seem to be on the plantājust the soil. Is it harmful, and will it affect my other plants? Can I treat it with a pesticide? I tried the yellow sticky traps, but they donāt get them all. Any advice is much appreciated!

Iāve been battling with my Dieffenbachia since I brought it inside last fall. Iāve had to trim a lot of it because of yellowing/dying leaves. I wasnāt sure what the problem was but I just noticed these āYā shaped white things on the underside of some leaves. Iāve researched but nothing I see looks like what I have. Iāve dealt with mealy bugs on other plants and these donāt look like that. Has anyone ever had this before? I just sprayed it down with neem oil hoping it will help.
