Clear sap on money tree? It is sticky. I repot her like a month ago and she's been kinda droopy since. She was also patient 0 of the seasonal fungal gnat attack. I only just now got them under control so I imagine she is not happy from that either. No leaf yellowing, browning, or drop. She just kinda seems tired. Leaves won't get big but she's throwing out a lot of new stuff.
The sap has predated her depression. Today I learned it was coming from her. She's always had little random sticky spots on her leaves here and there. I thought maybe my roommate dropped a sticky drink and it splashed on her and I was just perpetually finding residue. But I cleaned her fully recently and this is the first time I have seen full on droplets on her leaves and stems.

Does anyone know the cause of this?

I just found both thrips and spider mites in my very dense indoor garden. I’m only a teenager, so all of my plants are in the same room. I have 30 plants very close together, and I feel completely hopeless at saving them, since I know how thrips spread and reproduce. Is it possible saving my collection or should I completely start over?🥲 I’ve had my plants for 6+ years and would be devastated if I had to lose them.
Another factor which makes this even harder is the fact that I live every other week at my mom’s, and every other week at my dad’s. I can’t keep an eye on my plants consistentaly. To make things even worse, I have thrips infestations at both places.
Thrips have been a nightmare I’ve been dreading. And now I have them PLUS spider mites. I am already completely drained, and I don’t know how to keep treating them (possibly for months even). I feel like all odds are against me.
If you’ve had thrips and spider mites at the same time - is it possible to get rid of? And how??! Please help me!!! I am panicking😖

A client of mine gave me this plant to save. Do you think it can be saved? Any helpful advice would be lovely. Thanks!

Don't mind the lack of light, it's not usually like that, but I don't know what to do about my aloe vera. This is a picture from a little bit ago and it is dropping in this photo and a LOT more now. Any suggestions?

I need help with identifying what this is that my poor cherry tomatoes is experiencing! These white spots just appeared about a week ago and now they are spreading so fast.

Ugh! Is this a fungus?
Jamie
Are these spots normal for the week? I don’t see any sign of spider mites. Is it just burnt?

My bonsai is looking a bit faded? I’ve been watering as per the schedule but not sure if it’s sitting in too much light or why it’s now very light green as opposed to the dark green it was when I got it 😢 any guidance?

Any thoughts on resistant mealy bugs? I've tried neem oil, insecticidal soap, organic bug killer, systemic granuals and straight alcohol. Been fighting these things for the last year or so in my lemon tree. I have been trying to stay away from toxic stuff as I have a house full of pets.

Not sure what this is on my mother in law’s tongue. Any help is appreciated.

My friend recently gave me a propagation of a panda plant and she warned me that it wasn’t doing well when it was with her. It is still standing up so I’ve assumed that it’s still alive but I’m not sure if it is or not. Is it alive?

While I was away my husband killed my plant. He says he gave it a little water 😬 should I cut the leaves off? & hope it grows back?

Hello! Our bunny ears cactus has been growing lots of new nubbins lately, but we just recently noticed it also has these lighter green areas with some brownish patches on one side of the plant. It gets at least 8 hours of direct sun daily, and is in a mix of pumice rock + cactus soil in a 5 inch pot with drainage hole. Is it localized rot from overwatering maybe? Something else? Any help appreciated! 🙂

Every day to every other day, i find a dropped leaf, so she is not as full as she used to be. I went to move her and these entire stems just fell off. Any advice on what can be happening?

This keeps happening only the the leaf at the bottom. I removed it, then it happens again the new lower leaf. So it’s thinning. Any thoughts?

My split leaf philodendron developed these weird, slimy, brown, translucent spots on her leaves. They also seem to be dropping some sort of liquid that smells kind of sour. I cut off the affected leaves with sanitized shears, and wiped off her remaining leaf, but I’m not sure what’s going on, or how to help her. TIA!

is this fungus growing on the roots of my pothos propagation? should i be worried or are those new roots?

Y'all, it finally happened. I received some thripsy plants in the mail. I just spent $80 on beneficials and I'm currently sealing a small greenhouse cabinet to quarantine them (they were expensive for my budget so I don't want to toss them! Probably dumb...) and I watched some youtube videos on how to take care of mites so that I can keep a population going.
As of now, I have conquered spider mites and mealy bugs, but thrips... I have fears. Tell me it's gonna be ok 😭
Here's a photo of the girl that got me in this trouble...

What is going on with my variegated black cardinal?
