Mealybugs! My plants are struggling!
I found mealybugs on some plants. Ironically the ones that have them are sounding them are ok and growing. Some other plants are not doing well and I am wondering if they have bugs.
My dieffenbachia has been a struggle but it has declined so fast! I did fertilize it with a gentle fertilizer recently, if that means anything
My Dracaena has been amazing from day one! I’ve had it for a while. I did water last week or so, but to see the yellow leaf is concerning, since it has been so happy.
My Alocasia has had older leaves yellow as it has grown, but it seems to me to be too many.
I have some pictures and was wondering if this could be because of the bugs?
Also, should I just treat all my plants? Some do not have signs, but it is hard to see the signs even on the ones that do have them.
Any advice would be amazing!

I repotted my white bird of paradise today. I was so happy to see all those healthy roots (even though they gross me out a tiny bit because they remind me of centipedes)! 🥲

I just recently got a beautiful string of hearts that is over 6 feet long! I was detangling all of the vines when I found these weird spike like things on them and hard balls both in the soil and on the vines?? I have no clue what they are so if someone knows pease let me know!

Just noticed on of the older leaves on my monstera is turning a lighter green. I haven’t noticed any yellow yet. It has been in a sunny southwest window. Anyone know what it might be?

My app told me to repot all of my plants. Is that necessary?

Hey! Looking for advice - I’m a novice with houseplants but have had this lovely rubber plant for a year or more now. However it’s sprouted this second stem!? Any advice on why or what I need to do about it would be appreciated 😊

I just got there clear nursery pots from Amazon so I can see the moisture in the plant but they only have one big hole at the bottom for drainage is this fine or should I poke more holes

For anyone who has the lovely Fusion White…I’m wondering about light levels to keep that stunning lavender underside. I have mine atm about a foot back from a very large east-facing window. So it definitely gets some direct sun in the early mornings but then nicer soft lighting the rest of the day. I could potentially scoot it back so it wouldn’t receive any direct morning sun at all, but it would put it more at risk from my little ones.
What has been your experience of ideal amount of light that keeps that beautiful purple underside and yet is enough for it to thrive with the white marbling? Thanks so much!

And I thought the amaryllis bulb that I removed the wax from produced red trumpet flowers. Big they are but not red like this guy who burst today.

Hey, wonder if you can help! This little buddy is shedding pines and thinning out. I have watered it (only when soil dry), fed it and spritzed it as pines browning nearest the spine of it.
Any ideas?
I’m actually plant sitting this beauty so am extra worried. Any thoughts?

Hey, I recently got into plants, new to everything, they seem to be doing well so far but I have a few that are ready to be potted/repotted. I was wondering if there was any sort of cheat code all around soil mixture to use for indoor plants that receive no natural light and only use a grow light.

My nerve plant is repotted with a nursery pot! That way it has drainage , I did the same for my polka dot plant that also needed drainage. Thankful for you guys giving me good recommendations ! :)

Ms Lettuce is a single mom who just won’t stop having kids. I got her in November and since then I’ve gotten 4 babies out of her and i think a 5th is one the way 🍀😋.
Question: how do you keep the leaves shiny? Some are shiny and some look dry

My hahnii jade snake plant grows like crazy. This is actually a pup from the mother plant that I potted separately so I can give it away to a family member.
I noticed a couple leaves flopping over today and thought it had root rot, but they had actually flopped over because they have roots growing through them 🤯

I just noticed my white bird of paradise has a pretty big root coming out the bottom of its nursery pot what does this mean?
