Help ! I got this string of bananas/dolphin. It was doing beautifully , however the day I brought it home it did get a lot of sun in the car. It quickly started drying out. I have maybe watered it 2-3 times since I got it about a month ago. It keeps on drying I looked at the roots today and I am not sure what it needs ?! I don't want to over water it as I am prone to causing root rot a lot.

Help! My avacado plant has been doing great, but just recently has been browning on two of the 4 leaves. It is currently in water and the roots look fine… is it time to transfer it to soil? What should I do?

Brown spots have appeared on my calathea. This plant sits in my window sill. Is it getting to much sun or what could cause these brown spots?

I’m still trying to learn about plant pests. Does anyone know what this is caused by on my monstera deliciosa (I was thinking maybe flat mites, but I truly don’t know).

My 2 year old avocado tree has recently started losing its leaves one by one. Most of the time they turn brown and fall off I tried watering it more but that did not seem to help, any ideas? Thanks so much she is my baby and I really don’t want to lose her!

SPIDER MITES Best advice for getting rid of these blood suckers? I first noticed an issue a week ago on a couple of plants and started treating with Jack’s Deadbug. Over the course of the week I’ve been finding more plants that may be infected. Found culprits on my Alocasia this morning and now I’m about to go bay shit, because do you know how long it’s taken me to figure this beauty out?!

This aluminum plant has been through A LOT. It’s finally growing again but the new leaves are curling down. It’s been watered recently and I’ve done my best not to overwater it but keep it moist. Any tips or insight would be appreciated! I really want this to thrive again 😭

Does anyone have any experience with mealy bugs, and if so, how did you get rid of them?

Can anyone tell me what’s going on here? I noticed this on some of the leaves on my neon pothos and i’m freaking. out. i’ve been fortunate enough to not have had any issue with bugs/pests since i got into plants a few months ago, so i’m not sure at all what this is or what to do. I moved the plant away from all my others, it’s on top of one of my greenhouse cabinets, but i’m worried cause it was in a shelf clustered with a lot of other plants including my thai con and my deliciosa. 🙃🙃

My split leaf philodendron is getting these weird, brown gooey spots on it. Some of the stems have gotten really soggy as well, so my thought was that it was overwatered? But I repotted it and have been keeping watering to a strict, as needed schedule, so I’m not sure what’s going on :( HALP!

My Purple Passion; got as a gift still trying to figure out how to care for it. Moved to my apartment that only really has big south facing windows. It started wilting sitting indirectly 5 feet away. I moved it back to about 9 feet assuming the sun did it and it just keeps wilting. I tried watering early (once), I tried setting up a humidifier nearby and recently I put it in my bedroom with tied curtains hoping to give it the part-sun it needs. Any additional advice would be helpful!

Hey y’all!! replanting my monstera and noticed these clusters of tiny brown spots that are creating yellow spots on my plant. Looks like it could be some sort of pest egg but I don’t see any bugs! Can someone help tell me what these are??(they easily come off the plant too)

Ornamental Peppers problems? Hey everyone. So my ornamental peppers aren’t doing so good as of late. It’s leaves seem droppy and lots of brown spots are developing. I don’t think there is a pest infestation but I could be wrong. May be over watering? Any one have any clues here?
