Ficus Audrey: Bought this 6’ ficus Audrey about a month ago and immediately noticed fungal gnats once I brought it home. Still trying to get rid of them with mosquitoes bit tea/soak about every 1.5 weeks and have yellow sticky’s in soil. Had to move it about 1.5 weeks ago to different house so it wasn’t continuing to infect my other plants with the fungal gnats. Gets brighter indirect light in this new location so I’m continuing to move it further away from the window (not sure if that’s the right thing to do). I let it dry out pretty well (more than half the length of the pot). Has adequate drain holes. There are these holes and brown/black spot on leaves and stems and seem to be increasing. Also noticed a larger black spot on underside of stem where it connects to leave on several leaves. These seem to be random and not on younger or older leaves. Any help is appreciated!!!!!

I’ve got a rubber tree that has a few spots like this on some of the leaves. I assume it’s sunburn from the adjustment period because I bought it from a garden section in a hardware store. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Pinch off the leaves? Or just leave them?

Hi, I have a terrible mushroom problem in my yard and in my gardens- brand new to home ownership and caring for a yard. I do have a weed service that cares for the lawn as well as one to handle pests but these strange mushrooms are everywhere and all different types. Also is there a way to determine if they are toxic to my pets or kiddos?

Hello, wondering if this can become a serious issue with my aloe veras. It has been raining a lot lately, but they are mostly covered. I just wanted to ask before I cut the damaged parts off. Thanks for any help you can give!

Anybody know the issue with my Alocasia ? Thanks

HELP PLEASE!!! Does anyone know why my Bonsai Tree’s soil is shrinking in the pot? I thought that it was an overwatering problem, but I haven’t watered if for at least 2 weeks. What’s the problem? What should I do?

Hi guys, I have this huge alocasia California that’s been growing crazy since I got her around 4 months ago. The problem is she also drops leaves like crazy. The stems will dehydrate and then droop until it eventually turns yellow. I thought I might’ve been a watering issue but I make sure she’s always moist throughout. There are no bugs or pests, and other than that she is really healthy. Would this be a fertilizing issue by chance? (White powder is diatomaceous earth)

Just got some hydrangeas and repotted them two days ago. Today the pink one was dying and I’m not sure what to do. Not sure why the blue one has discolored leaves as well but the flowers and stems seem strong. They are both in the same area. Any advice? Completely new to gardening, any advice helps. Thanks!!

i bought this to use on my sick succulents but i’m a little hesitant because i don’t want it to end up killing my plant babies. is this something i should use for fungus and pests?

Anyone know how to prevent edema in fiddle leaf figs leaves? Mine started getting it on all the new leaves a couple months ago so I repotted it into a larger pot. That fixed the issue and new leaves came in with no spots for a while but now it’s starting up again. Is it a watering issue? Lighting issue?

Hello! I went out to check my zucchini and squash plants today and noticed some orange mush coming out of the bases of the plants and the vines and leaves look wilted and some are brown. I got a lot of rain today and they’ve been watered twice this week. I did some research and it might be squash vine borers. Any ideas on what I should do?

I went to water the plants today and I watered the mystery plant. It was a grafted tangerine tree that died during the winter, but now their two stalks. On the stalks were two giant swallowtail caterpillars, and I don’t know how to feel about it. What should I do??? I don’t want to hurt them but I’m afraid that it’ll hurt the plant

I just started using the app and I don’t really have a green thumb. I have a majestic palm that I need to fertilize. Would love a recommendation from someone on what type to use. Thank you.

Made some pothos cuttings and got amazing strong roots. i was so happy but my new kitty had other plans. The roots are now completely fried and i no longer have my cuttings

Money tree lost a couple leaf I thought due to sunburn - I did leave it in a new location next to afternoon sun and I don’t think it liked it, it’s also been sitting around under a fan. These are my only thoughts as to what’s wrong? Today the new bigger leaf was plucked prompting this post. I’m following the planta water schedule and fertilizing

I have a hosta planted in the ground outside and she's not doing well at all. I just fertilized her today, and she is planted in mulch. She has a lot of tiny holes in her leaves 🍁 so it may be a pest of some sort? Not sure I've never had pests before. It also may be underwatering because since she is outside I forget about her often but my indoor plants get more care. It may also be the weather recently, we have had a lot of cloudy and windy days, but not much rain here in Pennsylvania. If you need anymore info to help me, please ask. But Please help!

I’ll be holding a funeral 🥲🥲 my cat got to one of my plants and it’s biggest branch was partially broken off! Scared the heck out of me! But I attempted to prop it up with a stick, see if it can grow back together… is there plant tape out there I could buy to help it heal?
