Hi guys
New app user here & struggling to get my head around some of the guidance.
Despite the watering prompts, I only ever water when the the soil is checked first & it seems appropriate. I’ve definitely been an over-waterer in the past. What confuses me here is that I might get a prompt to water then a couple of days later get a fertiliser prompt.
It seems odd to not take into account that I might have only just watered it so why’s it telling me to then fertilise (I always select fertiliser in water in plant settings.
Pic below is a beautiful Polka Dot gifted to me from a friend today. It’s Mother’s Day in UK, I only have plant babies & a fur kid who had a major operation a few days back so he’s not doing great. I have no little people so this was a lovely surprise 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for any advice on the watering/fertiliser front

White mold or bugs?
I recently treated my plants with insecticidal soap because of a mealy bug outbreak. It’s been less than a week and I am seeing this on some plants (the begonia is the worst).
Is this a continuing sign of the pests or is this mold of some sort?
The begonia definitely had little cotton like pieces on the plant stem before treating.
Help 😭

My succulents that I potted in an arrangement last week seem to be drying out? I did leave them outside in the rain for a day… could it be from over watering? They all seem to be browning and are mushy…The purple one used to be green and is also mushy now. I’ve never had good luck with succulents what am I doing wrong!

Would like to cut these dying leaves off. How should I do that so that she can grow new ones? And is this from over watering?

Hi Planta community,
I am very new to owning plants and I got this Ginseng Bonsai few months ago. It’s been doing great till few weeks back until it started shedding leaves like crazy. The only change was I moved it to slightly lower light setting. Would greatly appreciate any tips on saving it from dying?

I transplanted my money tree plant a year ago. The root ball broke. The plant is still alive but only has one stem that survived. I use a plant app for watering but it seems I’m always over-watering. What should I do to help this plant?

is it safe to spray satin pothos with neem oil? i’m unsure bc of their leaves being a unique texture. i am currently dealing with spider mites.

Hey. So my money tree is growing new leaves but one of the babies is really deformed. Does anyone know why? It’s currently the tallest leaf on my tree. And should I cut it off to encourage new healthier growth?

My partner needs advice:
I got this Jade plant a while back, it seems to be doing good but it keeps growing upward (which i've not seen much in other Jade plants usually they grow other side plants). Should I change the pot because it might be too small hence why it's not sprouting side plants?

Hey lovelies
Can anybody give some advice on how to get my African Violet to flower? It hasn’t bloomed again since I got it, over a year now.

What’s the logical thing to do when you get your tax return?! Buy a plant, two different grow lights and a new humidifier! 😍

Hi everyone. My friend got this cutting but forgot what it is. Any ideas? It came with a bunch of inch plant cuttings. Thanks in advance, plant friends!

Someone gave me this cutting. Does anyone know what this plant is called?

Hey guys :) I just started a little herb garden and I’m the worst with plants (hopefully this app helps me not overwater)
Sorry in advance if these are silly questions <3
First my rosemary just got repotted two days ago into a bigger pot as it was crowded and this is the only pot I had - it’s now feeling a little droopy and sad and not perky. Is it something I did? I didn’t drench it when I first repotted it because it was already watered at the nursery that day. I also read they like to be neglected and dry a bit so I’m thinking maybe I just let it adapt and try not to mother it so much? The soil is damp about a knuckle under the surface but the little guy looks thirsty :(
The other question is my jalapeño plant is chilling on the balcony and it says it likes full sun. Is the Florida sun too hot because the leaves are getting a bit discolored on the tips? Should I move to partial shade until it’s adapted to being outside or will it toughen up or am I just overly concerned and nothing is even wrong?

Hey!! Anyone know what this plant is called? The plant identifier on the app doesn't seem to get it quite right, and there's no name on the plant itself. Any help is appreciated!! :)
