Anyone know what kind of succulent this is? My boyfriend got it from Aldi a couple months ago and I can’t find anything online 😅 it’s grown like crazy

I have caught spider mites (early on, I think) in my front flower bed! I’m treating as instructed with Neem oil once a week for 4-6 weeks. It looks like they’ve migrated up to the left side of my front porch so I’m thinking a preemptive strike is in order. Is it safe for me to treat the plants that don’t have evidence of pests yet? Surely it’s just a matter of time since they are close-ish

What is this and how can I get rid of it? Dr. Planta says it’s overwatered but I water it less than Planta tells me to. The plant looks beautiful besides that white stuff.

its spring here in reno and getting quite warm, is it safe to bring out indoor plants to take advantage of the sun or is that a disaster waiting to happen😅

How do you keep your plants alive when you are away? Thanks!

What is this on my Philodendron Brandi?? Light burn? Edema? Dry spots? Pest? Any help would be appreciated!

What is this on my olive tree?? Is it scale?? I tried using rubbing alcohol and removing it with my finger nail but it won’t come off. I’m wondering if it’s just part of the bark??

I need help. i have a monstera and struggle with understanding what it needs. I watered it this am and the meter says it’s dry but the tray is full of water. Is it fine? Should I be concerned?

Hi, I noticed my monstera grows two different “types” of leaves. It grows these ones that are open straight from the base. Other times, it grows the big ones that grow vertically before unfurling. I’m wondering why? Let me know what you all think. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just received this plant as a gift about a month ago and I’m not really sure what it is. Would anyone know? The leaves are really crispy, yellow, and keep falling off but it also has new growth……so any pointers would be greatly appreciated!!! It was repotted in regular potting mix with perlite before they gave it to me so not sure if that could be the could be the problem? Again any advice would be GREAT!! Thank you so much! 🫶

Hello plant community :) I could really use some help or advice on what I should do to help my monstera. I got my monstera in 2021 and for years it was flourishing. This winter did not treat him well though. The soil would stay wet for maybe 3-4 weeks after watering bc of how cold my apartment got (it’s an old not well insulated apartment). Since, I have been struggling to keep him alive. He’s lost a total of 6 leaves (3 grown, 3 small) and he’s on the way of losing more. He currently sits in my living room by an East facing window so he gets loads of indirect light, it’s never been a problem before. I’m questioning if maybe he just needs to be repotted. I’ve put it off for over a year now because I’m afraid I won’t do it properly or the soil may not be correct. Lots of uncertainty over what I should do to help him. If anyone has any suggestions I’d really appreciate it 🙏🏼

Question, so lately I’ve been obsessing over getting a Bird of Paradise but the only room that would fit one, as it grows, would be an east facing one (living in NC). Is it possible to grow a health BOP like this?

Why does my monstera leaf have no holes?

Hey, this is my white bird of paradise, i got him a few months back and he’s thriving, got a new leaf coming aswell, I’ve never had a bop not too sure what im doing but my question is making it look less messy around the bottom, all the small leaves, do I just chop them? everyone else’s i see seem to look so neat and tidy, im going to repot him soon aswell as the roots are coming out the bottom, should i sort it out then?

Does anyone have experience with a Fittonia nerve plant “pink forest flame”? I swore I couldn’t buy another plant and, lo and behold, I saw this beautiful plant baby and had to have it. But when I got home and researched it, wouldn’t you know, she’s labeled as “hard” to grow. I don’t think I would have brought her home if I had known that. If you’re familiar with this beautiful plant, would you be so kind as to send me any information you’ve learned about raising one. TXS. 💚🪴😵‍💫 PS I’d rather not kill her!
