Mel’s plants

I see a web like thing on the leaves and white things. What is it and what do I do?

Hi community! Hoping someone can help me diagnose: I have a once very happy bird of paradise that is now showing brown and yellow decay around the edges of every leaf. I love this plant and want it to stay happy! Is this just a case of under watering or could there be something else going on? Would appreciate any advice!

I just noticed this as I was watering my Dieffenbachia. Anyone know what it is? Is it harmful?

I need to invest in some new grow lights, and I know very little about them. I’ve purchased lights from YADOKER, and one of them has stopped working; it’s only about five months old. I researched Amazon, and found that LORDEM plant lights, may be better. I know that SANSI lights are well liked, but I need a telescoping light for the heighth, since some of my plants are fairly tall. I am getting a blue/red plant light for my Flamingo Lily, since she is blooming right now. Any info regarding plant lights would be greatly appreciated… TIA. 🤗💚🪴

Last month I posted that since I never use my fireplace, I was thinking about turning it in to a garden. We'll here is what it looks like now. It has really brightened up my living room.

Why is my plant so tall with not many leaves?? Anything I’m doing wrong? She’s right next to a window and gets watered enough

Is this bad?? This is my Scindapsus Silver Hero. It doesn’t look like damage, it looks like water-log or whatever it’s called when the cells burst due to water consumption, but the soil is nearly dry/ready for watering, and the “pattern” puts me in mind of thrip damage. And since I’m currently battling thrips in another section of my jungle, I want to be sure this isn’t it!

I noticed these brown spots on my arrowhead. Any idea what it could be? I treated for pests but I also haven't noticed any around.

Any tips on how to get my silver inch to fill in on top? The lower half of the vines are lush and full but the top looks so sad!

So, I got this fern a while ago and it died the second week I had it, I've heard there are ways to bring ferns back, but I don't know how to. If anyone has any tips on how to help this little guy, I would very much appreciate it.

Should I let these baby sprouts on the trunk continue? If no, any suggestions on the best way to remove them?

Does anyone have tips on how to help a ficus elastica’s leaves if they start to droop? I came back from vacation to find one of mine had three of its leaves drooping. Watered it, checked its roots, and moved it to a warmer spot after considering that perhaps it got too cold in the windowsill while I was gone. My second ficus now has a leaf drooping, and I’m unsure why, as she was recently watered and I don’t know what’s causing the drooping in her either, but would like to stop it before it gets worse like my first ficus. Any advice is greatly appreciated. TIA!

Would anyone have any tips, tricks or suggestions on how to do this? To me, it looks like they kept cutting the main stem back which allowed multiple branches to grow, eventually forming the sphere...? I I have three Tineke trees that came in the same pot and definitely one to attempt this with one of them...
