I was misting my ZZ Plant last night and all these tiny black bugs started appearing the outside of the pot from nowhere. I’ve had this plant for almost a year and it’s been in this pot and the same soil for months. I’ve never had any issues. I did have gnats flying around my plants during the summer and used sticky traps. I feel these may be babies but I’m not sure what these are, please help.

My fishbone cacti don’t look too happy, they’ve been looking like this for quite a while. I’ve been following the planta custom schedule to the letter, what am I doing wrong?

Problem: I have 4 hanging plants and none have drainage holes. They are actually all doing well but I have done enough reading to know they should have adequate drainage. If I put a hole in the bottoms, water is going to pour out. I was thinking of putting stones in the bottom to let excess water catch below the medium, but I’m now reading that is unhelpful. What type of bases are on your hanging pots? Thanks in advance!

Hi plant people, I need some help. I noticed that one of my Calathea has some unwanted visitors. I ended up putting it outside to prevent it from spreading to my other plants but now I don’t know what to do with it. Can the leaves be cleaned so I can save the plant? Or do I just cut my loses and toss it so I don’t risk it spreading to my other plants? If you know what this is, or how I can remedy the issue I would love some advice.

Hello everyone! I need help! I have a Ficus Burgundy plant which I purchased about 2 months ago. When I got her she was thriving and I’m afraid now she’s getting worse and worse. I made a few mistakes as I am a total plant beginner. First of all I repotted her for no good reason into a bigger pot. I was told that wasnt a good idea as it would be too much shock and put a strain on the plant to grow bigger roots, so I moved her back to her original pot. Now with the beginning of Fall here in Texas, she has started dropping leaves like crazy. Even though I water her about every two weeks her soil seems to always be humid. I water her like this because since her soil doesnt dry, I’m afraid of over watering. Any way, please help. I have moved her to a place with more light hoping this would stop the leaves from dropping and i thought she was doing better but she dropped another huge leaf today 😭

Hi everyone, I’ve had this hurricane plant since when it was very little and it’s always been one of the favourites between my 15 plants. But recently the leaves started becoming faded and rotten from the main stem. Any advice why it happened and how to save it, if it still can be saved? Will appreciate any advice.

can the brown leaf be saved or should i cut it off?

I just received this in the mail. It’s supposed to be an Alocasia Ivory Coast. Should I chop all the leaves??

Unsure what’s going on with this Swiss Cheese plant. Just removed a whole bunch of leaves because they were all dying/dead. Just suddenly started dropping leaves out of nowhere. Have had it for a year plus and have never had this problem before with watering, etc

I repotted my geogenanthus poeppigii a few days ago and now all the stems are bending over. Last night it was only one stem but now every single stem seems to have lost structural integrity. Is this just stress from repotting? It was in terrible soil before I repotted it, so I did have to take as much of the soil off of the root ball before I repotted it.

Received this plant from an online site about site about 10 days ago. Looked crunched up from the mailing but opened up and now has these yellow leaves. Any ideas?

Hello, I ordered this plant off Etsy and it’s not looking so great. I transplanted it the day it arrived. Any advice is appreciated.

My string of spades is acting weird. It’s blooming so the plant is healthy and I haven’t changed the watering schedule. But the leaves are turning red. I don’t think it’s sun stress. Any ideas?

Hi! Been struggling with this rubber plant for a while now.. when I first got it it was beautiful, had a few white specs but nothing happened and then all of a sudden leaves started being covered.. tried to remove these spider mites + whatever else they are with some diluted vinegar and soap spray but nothing is really working! If anyone has experience of this problem I’d appreciate some advice. Thanks! 🥰
