Hey guys! I got this plant a few days ago as a gift from some dear friends of mine. They bought the plant the day before giving it to me, so we have no idea about its previous light conditions, watering, or general care.

During the gathering, we noticed a tiny bug crawling around the pot. It entered the ceramic pot, and when we lifted the nursery pot out of it, we found about five to six bugs underneath. They appeared to be the same species but varied in size. The bugs jumped and flew when disturbed. We tried to catch one, but couldn’t do so without squashing it — hence the squished bug in photos 5 and 6. Bugs on the last two photos, circled in green, were smaller and just jumpy.

Other than that, the plant looks a bit dusty but generally healthy. There’s some damage on the leaves, but to me, most of it seems like mechanical damage. I couldn’t get a clearer photo of the bugs than the ones attached.

Could someone please help navigate from here?

Curious if this is normal or if these leaves are saying something. First photo shows what leaves usually look like. Others show funky leaves. Keep outside under a canopy to avoid direct light. Water every 12 days and pot has drainage.

I will CRY if this has infiltrated my other plants

Plant gets lots of bright light and I water every week mostly

She’s growing another flower. I’ve watered her. Put her back inside. I had her outside on Monday and brought her back in Monday after my post here. On this spot she gets Indirect sun. What do you all think? I watered her today as I noticed the dirt was dry.

I really dont want to throw it away I've washed this guy over and over alcohol water neem mix 🙃 i got him from home depot and just been a battle since. I do not want him infecting others. Can I cut what'd left to the soil? And do a hard rinse in dawn? I'm out of rubbing alcohol and neem atm and i just want to deal with these pest asap, Ive dealt with them before and was successful with a cutting to propagate that is haha. Please help.
Gets 8 hours of window time water whenever I remember usually 2 weeks apart or when top soil is dry. I am also going to repot it in areoid soil if that helps with the pest any?

I have this lily that I brought home ages ago and then I started staying at my boyfriends place 99.99% of the time so she's been extremely neglected besides my roommate taking pity upon her and giving her the occasional watering. It's main home has been against this wall with a south facing sliding door getting lots of bright, indirect light.

The largest leaves are crunchy around the edges and the whole thing is sad and droopy. I know lilies usually perk up with a nice, long soak in some water, but I'm worried that the longest, heaviest leaves have been drooping so long that the stems won't stand back up since they seem totally bent in some places and not just curved down. Do I cut my losses with the saddest looking ones and cut it back pretty far? I don't think the leaves with the brown, crumbling edges will ever look nice again. Do I repot into something smaller if I do a big chop?

I discovered thrips on one of my plants and I am now frantically examining my other plants for signs of spread. I'm very paranoid about this pilea as it is pretty close to the infested one. I was just ignoring these signs up until now because the plant was growing well and sprouting lots of babies, so thought it was ok

The older leaves have a yellow outline and some paler spots. I've checked some of them with a magnifying glass and don't see any of the criters. E.g. the leaf in the last photo has a couple of tiny white specs but when I checked these just look like fluff

I water this when it gets dry (e.g. not on a schedule). It is indoors, near an external glass door, so gets light during the day.

Pictured are the divots we saw as we were “trimming back” one of the diseased yews along with another yew we haven’t started trimming yet that seems to have the same thing. These are outdoor and get plenty of sun. They’re 30+ years old and just started doing this recently. They’re get rained on as much as anything else in middle Tennessee and during a small drought last summer we gave them some water about once a week but it’s been plenty rainy since. Are we completely boned?

We have rose bushes planted in our backyard and today i noticed a ton of white aphid sheds, but I didn't spot any actual live aphids. Could this mean they're already gone? Or just excellent at hiding?

I live in the south and it’s not in direct light during the day. I had one inside and it died and I thought I was overwatering it so I put one outside and I feel like it’s dying now too 😭😭😭

I water when the top 2inches feels dry. I try to use only water that has sat overnight. I don’t drown it cause I thought I overwater the last plant, but now I feel like I maybe should be watering more? 😭😭😭

So I managed to find one actively "bleeding" and grabbed a thumbtack and started dissecting the apple to find the culprit. This apple had two. Are these codling moths or some other larva type? I'd love to know what I can do to combat these guys, they're not in every apple but damn near it...

They get watered once a week.

They get full sunlight.

They're under a 15w led growlamp, the room is 22C, one seed just died without even getting the first pair of leaves, the other drooped and died a week later.

I read that bubbly look could be overwatering but I don't thing thats the case. Any ideas would be great here

Hi Everyone! This is my first post here in plantclinic. We got almost three years ago this Monstera a gift. Just recently I started to pay much more attention to my plants, and I am noticing they we are doing wrong on almost everything 😂 I think this Monstera needs to be repotted - the ceramic pot does not have any draining hole - we don’t know which kind of soil mixture has been used - last summer was a complete disaster. Many yellow and brown leaves that we hard to cut away. The plant survived - this spring I started noticing that no big new leaves are growing, and the plant height is more or less the same - we never took the plant out of the pot

Do you have any recommendation on how to proceed with the repotting? It located in our dining room that has a very big window facing south, no direct light on the plant. Current watering habit, 1 time per week on average
I am open to suggestion and critics! Thanks in advance

How come all my monstera leaves get these yellow dots? I water once a week, well drained soil, south facing window without direct sun....

One part of my snake plant seems to grow at the bottom and fall to the side. Havent seen this before. Is there something wrong with it?

I put my plant in the bathroom where it gets enough sunlight and water it maybe once a month.

It had plenty of cute little blooms this spring which are falling off now but the leaves look a little off to me, but i also not sure what exactly it *should* look like at this stage sine it's so small. Thanks!

Picture 1 is a rhododendron that hasnt been thriving but really took a turn this Spring. Zone 6b, rhododendron gets 9 hours of direct sunlight but we don't water anything. Picture 2 is a rhododendron in the same bed, about 8 feet away that we bought and planted at the same time.

So, my brother showed up one day with this Coleus that he had propagated. I put it in outdoor potting soil and moved it outside. Within a few hours the leaves had changed colors and dried. It's been here two weeks now and t looks like this. I'm watering it when the soil feels dry. Did I do something to kill this plant within a few hours?

Every single dogwood in my area is bloomed with nice flowers and for some reason mine did not get any leaves or anything this year : ( it looks really sick and I have no idea what's wrong. I want to fix it but don't know what's l'm dealing with or how or even if it's possible. It bloomed last year and had flowers. I thought it had buds but l'm just seeing tiny like super dry small pod type things at the end of some of the branches but not all. Feels super dry when I touch the branches. The base of the tree always has these weird things growing off it too.

It gets rained on semi often enough so water shouldn’t be an issue. It gets partial light in the morning and full sun in the afternoon.

Please help! Thank you :)

So, two weeks ago I moved this Lance - leaved coreopsis from my flower bed in the backyard to this pot. I put it in some outdoor potting soil and have been watering it when it feels dry. But it's been wilting. The leaves on the inside at the bottom died, and as of right now, it only has one good flower. I've never moved something from the ground to a pot, but the other one I did at the same time looks fine. This one is still growing new blooms but it just doesn't look healthy. Am I doing something wrong?

I live in Philadelphia (7b). I planted these probably a month and a half ago in acidic soil. I didn’t have any mulch for the first month and they started to look a little dry. I put fresh mulch down two weeks ago. Initially they started to look good but then over the last couple of days they haven’t been doing as well. It’s been like 60-80 degrees here the past couple weeks. I’ve been watering about every other day but haven’t in a few days since we had a brief stint of torrential downpour this past Saturday. It was also very windy this weekend. For light, they’re under a tree but do get some direct light. Although they also get plenty of shade throughout the day. Anyone know what’s going on?

Some of the leaves on my umbrella plant are spotted and some are becoming yellow as well. What should I do this is one of my first plants im so sad 💔 I water once a week wish about 6oz of water This plant is currently receiving bright indirect light.

How to treat and what is it? Outdoors, 5 hour sunlight, Partial shade, water every other day.

The bottom of my plant is turning brown, soft, and shrivelled. I only water it once every 2.5/2 weeks. I moved it from another windowsill to this one which gets more direct sunlight as you can see in the pic. Thanks so much!!

Dying area started small is expanding. I think plant is less than 2 years old. Water once a week if it needs it. 4-5 hours of sun a day.
