my aloe is in bad shape. i've had him quarantined due to a mealy infestation, for about three weeks. unfortunately the only place i could quarantine is in my kitchen, which faces another building so doesn't get much light. it's been 28 days since i watered him but i think the alcohol and neem oil weren't drying off fully and made him soggy. my question is, if i remove the outer sections, will the center of the plant be okay and keep growing? i did notice he's still putting out new growth there

I got this in April and since then it’s lost all its white leaves. Any ideas on how I can encourage the white leaves to come back and new vines to shoot out? It’s one of my favorite plants🤕

Hi everyone! I am in desperate need of some help. My pothos I have had for years and was thriving beautifully decided to start with some leaf disease. Seems to have progressed rather quickly and attacked most of the leaves. I just can’t tell if it is fungal or bacterial, or both, and what to do first. Do I spray it? Repot it? Stressed about it spreading as well. Is it even salvageable with how many leaves have spots? The big stems off the roots also look brown…might also be some mould or honeydew in there? Any help is appreciated!

Hello all! Excited to share plant things with other plant lovers. I am trying to figure out why my Fiddle Leaf Fig has whitish mold on its tops leaves? I washed off the leaves with some soap and been oil in case they wet pests. Help and info welcome on identifying the problem. I

I tried the suggestions you all gave me and it got worse 😭 is it too far gone? The soil isn’t holding water either, it just goes right through and bottom watering hasn’t been super effective I swear I’m a good plant mom 😭

Why is this happening to my prayer plants? I have a humidifier for them and they also have a pebble tray under them they aren’t infront of a window but they have a grow light for 12 hours a day and they are in a mixture of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite medium idk what I’m doing wrong😔😔

Anyone know what these bumps growing out of my Cosmo flowers are?

Hi all! My peace Lily never usually gives me problems. She only drooped when she needed a good water then would bounce back the next day. Now she’s drooping and I don’t know why. I repotted into a bigger pot (6” into 8”) about 20 days ago. And I water about once a week. Today was water day but her soil is still moist. She’s been in the same spot since I got her which was a few months ago now (first pic), which is about 7ft away from my big southwest facing window. Some of her leaves are crimped as well. I wonder if she has too much light? I could place her in a shaded corner that still gets some light (second pic) if you think that might help.

Any hope for saving my calathea? :( I stopped misting it in case the spots are from fungus or water build up, and recently switched to filtered water. Would welcome any other ideas

Say hello to my little friends! Found hitchhikers on a syngonium ghost/holly plant I’ve had in my house about 10 days. I quarantine every plant at least a month after doing a complete inspection of the leaves. The bugs must have been in the soil. Because none were on the leaves or I missed them. They are tiny. I was about to brush one off when it crawled! Yeesh!😬 I treated the plant with soapy water in my recycled hand sanitizer bottles left over from COVID. (These Suave bottles make excellent misters putting out a fine spray.)

bugs? something else? not seen on any other leaves. has been outside for a few months now directly underneath an oak tree. no visible pests at this time

Hi everyone! I have two Calatheas (not sure what type they are) and I’ve noticed some of the leaves are wilting in a weird way. Some of the leaves are also getting brown spots as if it’s dry, but the soil is still wet so I don’t think it needs water. I’m new to the plant parenthood so I’m not quite sure what to do. They seem overall healthy and have new leaves growing, but I’m sure there’s something going on. Can someone please help? What should I do? 😔

Getting brown spots. Please help 😞

I’m starting to notice bugs that are hiding in my plants soil, some look like this & other ones look like this but with a bigger body & smaller legs. I just watered my plants today, that’s why the soil is wet looking. I usually let them dry out a little bit before watering again. Any idea on what these bugs are? How can I naturally get rid of them? Moneys a little tight in my house.. They’re in my vegetable/herb plant soil, but none of my actual houseplants soil.

Hope philo browning tips: - lives next to a humidifier that constantly runs and under a grow light - I mist almost every other day with a capful of dr. Bronners soap to help mitigate fungus gnats - I feel confident in the watering schedule using a meter to only water when it hits the line between moist and dry (I do not let it dry out). - liquid fertilize once a month - soil does read high alkaline, wondering if that might be an issue? Otherwise I’m stumped. Had this guy for 9 months now and most new leaves look healthy. Spotted one small one with similar browning.

The purple flower-looking part of this Purple Heart spiderwort is crispy 😭 Any advice/has anyone dealt with this before? TIA!

What is going on with my Alocasia Nebula? I’ve had it for a couple weeks now and it’s slowly started to look like this. I’ve only watered it once since I’ve had it and it’s kept near an east facing window that has a sheer curtain over it, in a room with a humidifier so it’s consistently got 50-70% humidity. Not sure what to do with this!

This monstera plant needs a bit of help if anyone has any tips.
