Anyone else have issues with algae growing in your pots? They do not get watered until they are completely dry and they live in a chunky soil mix. They are placed in a window, which I know light causes algae but is there any way to avoid this? Will it affect my plants at all?
Please help! I bought this fairy castle cactus back in May ‘24 (then and now pics 1 and 2). This week, I noticed these scabs/scales mostly on the “back” of plant. A couple of its limbs have started to fall off. There doesn’t seem to be root rot, and I didn’t notice any pests moving around when I removed the soil. Note: I keep this plant outside on a shelf on my north-facing balcony. I’ve lightly watered it (NOT bottom-watered) only when the soil is completely dry maybe 3 times since May.
Have a leafy Camilla that is otherwise in great health, but today has tons of teeny tiny black bugs seemingly out of nowhere. I’ve had it about 6 months, this is the first time I’ve seen them! What the heck are they and how do I get rid of them without killing the plant?
My moms monstera has a couple leaves that have these little spots and we think they’re just sun freckles but we’re not sure- they’re completely flat and there’s no eggs or anything
Hello all! I recently bought this Thai Constellation from a local plant nursery though she does not seem to be doing so well. She has these brown spots on 3 of her leaves. I just moved her down from my room thinking it was a problem with the lighting. I also reported her because she was root bound. No root rot could be seen. Please let me know of anything I can do to save her!!! TIA
Just bought this baby a few weeks ago, a type of snake plant I hate if anyone know a the name it would be awesome to know. But it started getting these beige squiggly lines like possibly a worm? Not sure but I am thinking of just hacking it up because the leaves on the bottom are nice. Anyone possibly know what this is? Sun stress maybe? Or is it a pest? Before and after photos below
HELP! I got this Mickey Mouse Alocasia a few weeks ago and noticed these tiny black bugs on the leaf this morning. This is VERY magnified. I just want to make sure I treat it right. Thank you!😊
Hello, I need help. I have a 8ft fiddle leaf fig. It was doing so well and out of the blue i started noticing mealybugs. I have treated it with everything i can think of, i have even checked the soil. There are no bugs in the soil, just on the leaves, now all my leaves are falling off and turning brown. How can I save it? I have used captain jack’s insecticidal spray, i’ve used neem oil with fungicides & insecticide, copper spray, rubbing alcohol, peppermint oil / tea tree oil castile soap mix, nothing seems to work. can anyone give me a good recommendation? I would hate to throw the plant out because i put so much work into it.
What is this and how do I get rid of it?
I noticed this on my dragon scale this morning. I didn’t see it there yesterday. There is a new leaf coming up. Could that be why it’s going yellow?

Any idea why the leaf on my burgundy rubber tree is turning orange? It’s a lower leaf. Otherwise seems healthy.
Please help me! I just spent the last two hours washing tons of pests off of all of my plants. So far I have identified three different kinds, aphids, spider mites and lots of thrips!😬 I have no idea where they are coming from or how to properly get rid of them but I sprayed all my plants with a mix of rubbing alcohol, castile soap and water. I hope that was a good idea.😮💨 Please someone help me! The pests are attacking at full force and I need to know if I’m doing the right thing. Im going into 7th grade soon and I really don’t want to have to deal with pests on top of homework!😅 Thanks 🙏 (Photo for attention. Just got a tai con monsera! So excited!🪴😊)
