    Not accidentally over watering and root rot!! It’s a killer. Lighting is just expensive because my house is a dark hole with awful limited windows, so I had to buy a lot of different grow lights.

      Yeah those are all pretty tricky!! Sometimes less is more and good drainage helps a lot with overwatering

    Spider mites is taking over my Alocasia right now. 7-8 plants infected. Ordered mites to take care of them.

      That’s a lot! Try to chip away at it and do a few each day so it’s not so much of a large task

    Fungus gnats!!! I finally think I’ve eliminated them but I think it took like six months!

    I agree pests are the hardest part of plant care! I enjoy the challenge of everything else😊

    Repotting…I have 87 houseplants currently and countless more containers outside. My husband asked if this has to happen every year. He said it’s a full-time non-paying job

    Repotting. They all seem to want it at the same time. It’s also really hard when I have to be away from home for an extended amount of time and have to rely on someone else to care for my babies 😥

    Mealybugs are my never ending battle — constant vigilance is required.

    Awesome part is watching plants grow from tiny starters/props to big beauties...BUT this causes the hardest part...repotting and constantly rearranging.
