Help! I just noticed some bugs on my plants. What do I do to get rid of them??

I've found if you talk softly and tell them you're proud of them, they'll grow better. Most fun-picking should be saved for data entries. This works for plants too. (Silly)

Does anyone have an idea as to why my plants think my West - slightly northwest-facing window that also has a balcony above it is full sun? I now have a "picky eater corner" because I bought a prayer plant and apparently my back wall that does not get sunlight at any point in the day is part-sun. Be aware, he is doing much better now. Likewise, I have bought multiple full-sun plants that thrive near my window (when I remember to water them) and any part-sun plant has to go to the back of the room in the shade. I have spent days in my room before during various seasons and at no point can the light be considered "full sun". Note: I do live in Florida, which I currently assume at least plays into it. I have also gotten second degree burns at a nearby beach, which I don't think is totally normal. This is probably a strange question, especially coming from a full grown adult who is decent with plants, but is the sunlight actually more intense here, to the point that my plants should notice? Because I could swear it was not like this ten years ago...

I’m itching to get another plant. What are your thoughts on buying plants from Etsy during the winter months? Most of these nurseries are in Florida or California and it’d be shipped to the Midwest.

I find the size of this leaf impressive. That is all.

How do you know if a plant is over or under watered? I have these two plants and I am watering them according to planta’s recommendations, however I feel I am over watering them, especially because I have to mist them like every other day. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Would you remove the damaged leaves and repot? Or will that make it look too wonky?

The peroxide spray did its job . I don’t see anymore white fungus on soil. Should I repot?

I fell like I just stole these great plants. A neighbor is moving and sold all for these for $60. I'm so excited with these guys. I will re-home a few that I already have. There is a plant swap coming up in my area next month and I will take them and share with others. Have a happy plant day

Does anyone know how long it should take for a rubber tree to start growing back after you chop the top so it’ll branch out?

Is it just me or is there a face in my wife’s orchid?

So the heat decided to poop out in my house and it is currently 54F in here. Will watering (with room temp water) damage them since they may be in stress mode?

Curious about grow lights. I’ve seen ones that I think are good (?) for like $30ish. I’ve also noticed ones for over $300. What do you all use and what price point should I look for?
