Hi. Iâve had this dieffenbacchia for a year. It did great outside in the spring and summer but itâs been a struggle since I brought it inside. It was so full and beautiful previously. Iâve cut back the yellowed leaves as I will after this photo. I used neem oil on it once a few weeks ago. Not sure if itâs a pest or what. Any idea?
Can anyone tell me whatâs going on with my peace Lily? I canât find a similar image anywhere and Iâm not sure what this is. I got this plant discounted about 6 months ago. I recovered it but it has brown spots and brown/yellow edges. Itâs flowered twice and new leaves are coming in. The flowers look great, the new leaves have brown tips. I have really hard water here and didnât realize until a new treubii moonlight died. Could that cause these odd speckles?
Need some help figuring out whatâs going on with my Dragonfruit. A little under a year now, itâs been showing this hard, sometimes orangey substance. Over time, it hardens the ends but Iâve been noticing lately that some of the Dragonfruit is now rotting and getting soft and mushy. Iâve had this plant going on for almost 2 years now. It was growing really nicely and healthy up until maybe last summer when I noticed this. Have asked around and done some research but canât really seem to pin down what it is. Have it on a fungicide treatment at the moment but hasnât really done any progress and maybe made it worse. Really donât want to have to get rid of it or throw it away, so appreciate any help
One of my ZZâs has dramatically yellowing leaves, and several others have mildly yellowing - thinking it is connected to low light in winter since I use a water meter to make sure I donât overwater? Also contemplating a connection to temperature as the home doesnât have central heating (it can get cold inside, but doesnât drop below 50 even at the coldest). Any ideas or suggestions are welcome, thank you in advance!
Hello everyone!! Had this app for ages but never participated in the forums, glad to see a group dedicated to pests and problems i guess iâll be here more often đ I noticed this little white worm earlier in my tomato plant soil⊠white/translucent body with a brownish/red head. Are these healthy worms or should I be concerned? If they are damagingâŠ. how can I get rid of them? FYI, the photo of the fruits are purely just to showcase how beautiful they are. No signs of worms on the actual fruits/leaves đ„č Thanks yâall!
This plant has had it rough since I got her. 3/4 of her trunks died and had to be removed after we moved to a new apartment and i was pretty neglectful during the moving time period. Recently Iâve been a lot more attentive, following plantaâs schedule and for a while she was doing a lot better with new growth. This week, however, a couple days after watering with fertilizer she started dropping leaves. Is she a goner? đ„ș
I finally managed to get my hands on a silver sword philodendron a few weeks ago and considering Iâve wanted one for the longest, I quickly fell in love with it. Shortly after bringing it home though, these weird spots began showing up on the leaves. Iâve been careful not to overwater it, kept it close to a west facing window and regularly treated the leaves with a spray. But yesterday, after losing multiple leaves, I made the difficult decision to remove any that looked diseased to stop any kind of spread. This plant is one of my favorites, so I would hate to see it die. Everything Iâve read seems to indicate leaf spot disease, which Iâve never dealt with before, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Are these dark spots on my monstera something to worry about? Theyâre on the petiole of a newer leaf, worried it may be fungal but wasnât sure if it was just physical damage, wanted to make sure. (Also pls ignore the dust on this guy đ )
Rest in pieces, wobble cactus đ It was doing just fine and then today I found it droopy and shriveled. Does anyone know what mightâve gone wrong? Hopefully I can propagate the remaining healthy bits.
And back again with more plant issues. My monsteraâs have mold that grows on the bottom and around some sides of the pot. This was never an issue until about a week and a half ago and I have no idea whatâs causing it! One is a terracotta pot the other is a stone? Or maybe clay pot? I bought both from Home Depot. Anyone know how to treat this problem & prevent it in the future? At this rate Iâm feeling like the worst plant parent ever đ€Šđ»ââïž
Help! What is this??
Help!! I found this web on my plant and I haaaate spiders. Is my plant dying now? What do I do?? đ
does anyone else LOVE plants but HATE bugs? i am actually terrified of bugs, they make my ears ring. pests have been such a problem because of that. any advice?
This is one of our oldest plants, weâve had it for around 5 years. Does anyone know what these little holes are under the leaves? We donât want to lose it! Also any general advice is welcome. Itâs hard to see in this picture but there are aerial roots coming from the big bend in the plant on the right. I love my plants but Iâm not the best caretaker and I know I have plenty of room for improvement. I love that this forum is here and I look forward to making the most of it! đ
Do you use herbicide and/or insecticide on your house plants?
Please help! I got my first Peperomia a couple months ago and I cannot figure out what this plant needs. I was told itâs supposed to be fairly easy to take care of but no matter what Iâve tried it just keeps getting worse. I read online that itâs a sort of tropical plant so I tried putting it in my greenhouse cabinet to increase its humidity, it didnât seem to like that so I tried putting it with my regular plants and that hasnât helped either. Iâve tried putting it closer to a light source, noticed that a lot of the leaves were turning brown around the edges and thought they might be getting burn spots so then I tried putting it farther away from the light. I do not think it is overwatered, I check to make sure the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry before I water it. I also donât think itâs under watered because Iâve been following the watering schedule and have also been watching it and water it early if I notice itâs looking particularly dry. The pot also has a drainage hole and thereâs a layer of gravel at the bottom of the pot to give the roots extra room and oxygen. No matter what I do itâs continued to droop and the leaves turn brown. What am I doing wrong?
My Ivy leaves are browning..anybody know what to do??
This is my grandmotherâs peace lily. Iâm not there, so I canât inspect in person, and I donât have any peace lilies, so I donât really know them that well anyway. Sheâs had this for decades, but just repotted it last summer. Ever since, it has not been doing well. Any suggestions?
Alocasia Leafs drooping and then yellowing one by one. Iâve already cut two off so far that were almost completely yellow.
Iâm so sick of her. My first though was pests, but thereâs nothing moving. Have I watered her correctly? Nah. Does she get the right amount of light? Probably not. BUT DAMN. So fussy. How do people get these to thrive? Is it even possible?
