Hello this white animals are slowly colonizing my plants, every one of them
Pls help me
What are they
What causes them
How can i get rid of them ?
Thank you
Posting for my mom who also isn’t sure what kind of plant this is. Any help is much appreciated!!
I’ve had this Pilea for about a year. This winter I unexpectedly ended up away from my NYC apartment for almost 3 months, and I honestly thought it would be dead when I got back. Surprisingly, it still had tiny growth points, so I’ve been trying to rehab it for the last ~2 months.
It’s still in the original nursery soil/pot because I was worried repotting would stress it more. It gets bright indirect light near an east-facing window, some morning sun, and I only water once the soil dries significantly. I also lightly fertilized for the first time last week.
The problem is that it keeps pushing out tiny new leaves/babies, then aborting them. This is basically the only leaf it has managed to keep. The center growth point is still green/alive, but growth has been super slow, and now this leaf seems droopier too.
At this point I can’t tell if it’s slowly recovering or just stuck in limbo. Would you:
- leave it alone?
- repot it?
- prune/chop it?
- anything else?
Attaching photos from the last two months for context. Would really appreciate any thoughts from people who’ve rehabbed a severely stressed Pilea before 🥲
Hello everyone! This is my first plant, and I just want her to be happy 😔 I live in southern Florida and keep her on my east facing porch. Originally, I had her in a hanging planter, but I messed up and didn’t thoroughly water her when repotting, so the next morning, she was drooping. She perked back up a little bit and I left her alone for about a week until I noticed some sun scorching on the leaves so I moved her farther back into the porch…this is when I discovered I had absolutely drowned my poor caladium in soil. It was so densely packed and wet that the bottom of the pot was essentially mud. Also it seemed to be way too much pot compared to root so I decided to repot her into this 7inch ceramic planter using a mix of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite with an entire layer of perlite at the base of the pot. She has a new leaf growing so I know that’s a good sign but am I at the point where I cut all the floppy leaves off? Please help me any advice at all is appreciated I’m a noob.

I have two plumeria tree, about 8 feet tall. Other one is green leaves and nicely flowering. This one started put like that but past few weeks yellowing of leaves, curling of new leaves, flowers seems to have lessened significantly and I see some brown/dry spots in leaves and very few but white fuzzy spots. Please help.
I have a greenhouse in northern Indiana, USA zone 6B. I had a bad glyphpsaye drift even from the field next to my property that did some damage to my tomatoes, so I have been dealing with the twisted leaves and poor growth since them, mostly removing the worst new growth and trying to get new branches to take over as leaders.
I realized this morning that the new growth is getting worse again, and took a very close look to notice a TON of thrips on most of the tomatoes. They haven't infested anything else nearby as far as I can tell, but the tomatoes seem pretty bad. Probably as a result of the previous herbicide stress. I'm thinking that these are causing further meristem damage as the new leaves try to grow in.
Could someone provide any insight on how to deal with this moving forward? I these poor plants have already been through a lot and I haven't even started harvesting yet.
This is my second pothos and I have it hanging in front of a west facing window that’s covered by a patio. My first pothos died due to root rot because the drainage hole I drilled into this pot wasn’t big enough and it was not getting enough light. I drilled a bigger hole and put it in front of this window so now I’m confused why the leaves are turning black. I’ve honestly been under watering it because I’m worried about overwatering. The soil feels dry on the top and bottom. Is it not getting enough light?
When you tell him NO it's on; he will then make it his business to compete with me. Shabazz is my daughter's feline. I thought I had created a quasi boobytrap as you may be able to see. But he gets it in probably in the morning when she gets up or at night when she leaves her door open. This is my oldest beauty, about 20 years old. I have no idea what to do! I can't sell the cat (can I?). I appreciate any and all solutions 🥺
Joy gets the eastern morning sun and very indirect light throught daytime and a plant light in the evenings until about 11; the timer doesn't seem to work as it should. She gets eggshell water approximately every 10 days. What do I do?
I’ve had this plant for probably 4 years now and it’s never grown but has sprouted lots of babies (3 in total, I have one cutting to my mom last time we repotted)
All of a sudden out of no where the big mama in the middle has one of the tips slowly wrinkling almost like it’s deflating, it’s been watered and plenty of light from the grow lamp.
I’m not sure what else to do, do I cut the tip off so it can heal instead of putting energy into something that’s dead or dying, do I just wait it out? Need any advice please
My one year old avacado is drooping constantly no matter how much i water it or don't water it, i plucked the lower leaves awhile back because they were yellowish, and i check the seed ball, it looked a little rough like they were rotting but they felt very solid so i didn't seperate because I've heard horror stories that other people accidentally disconnecting the seed from the plant and the plant dying. What do I do?
First pic is me trying to water propagate my marble queen pothos. I think it keeps getting rot? It looks brown but it’s not squishy? The first time I did this two weeks ago it got another spot like this so I cut it off, dipped it in cinnamon, let it callous for like a day and a half and put it back in water. This is what it looks like after. Idk what I’m doing wrong.
My peperomia hope, named Joy, is NOT thriving and Joy is sad, as am I. Please help me help her. She was beautiful and healthy, growing but also stretching. So I put her under a grow light and for a bit she continued to do well. I missed watering her once and she did get very dry and was dropping leaves. I watered her and hoped to see her spring back but she never did. She's dropped countless leaves and even whole sections of her limbs. I reported her thinking maybe she had been cramped but that didn't change anything. Her younger leaves are mostly curled. The odd thing is I do still see new growth in 4 different spots. I'm confused with her mixed signals, guys!! Help a girl out, please! The last photo shows a dropped section just from me turning the pot to take the photos. 😭
Just picked up this cutie from my local nursery yesterday. I inspected her and realized she has yellowing leaves so I looked closer and there’s a mealy bug. I’m a new parent so what do I do?! I put her in the bathroom to quarantine while I figure out next steps. SOS!
(She gets plenty of indirect light but a southeast facing window. I got her yesterday so haven’t figured out her watering schedule yet. Up for all the advice. Especially since I see a curling leaves. She’s in the potting mix the nursery put her in.)
Received a beautiful snow-queen pothos donation from a friend but after a week noticed this strange mass under one of the damaged leaves. I snapped off the leaf and threw it out just in case as the rest of the cutting is in good condition but what is it?! When I bent the leaf the mass seemed stiff and held its shape but I didn't dare to touch it or mess with it any further.
Any thoughts or experience on what this is and if I need to do any preventative steps to avoid this returning?
Note: this is in QLD, Australia - so not sure if plant-related or some other fun creature 🙃
I tried to cross post from another sub, but
I rescued her from a big box store, but I’m wondering if I took on more than I can chew. Is she worth saving or do I cut my losses?
I noticed these little bubble things on a couple of my pothos leaves when I was watering it today. I shook the leaf to make sure it wasn’t weird water droplets. My plant has been otherwise healthy. I noticed a cricket looking big in the pot several days ago and safely removed it. Wondering if it’s the bug’s eggs? What do I do to protect my plant and what can I do to prevent in the future? Any help would be appreciated!

The plant was healthy before, but now the new fronds are coming out curled, twisted, and drying up. I’m not overwatering it, and the soil drains reasonably well.
It gets a few hours of direct sunlight on the balcony. Could this be heat stress, low humidity, nutrient deficiency, or something else?
My Jade plant has these white spots growing all over. Mainly at the seams. Stuff is fuzzy and comes apart easily to the touch (with a q-tip, haven’t touched it after first time and identifying it as a mistake, originally thought it was dust. Any tips on how to treat would be appreciated. At the moment don’t see it on any of my nearby plants. Should I isolate more (moved it to not be next to any other plants but still in same room)?
I've had this cactus for a little while, he's been through a few moves with me now. I'm not sure what type of cactus he is.
He's started to get kind of tall and I'm a bit worried that bulb-like part at the top may break off. Is there something I should do for him? Is the top part breaking off something I should be worried about? Is it a sign something is wrong that he's growing like this?
I'd appreciate any advice! He's currently under a grow light and gets water sporadically, if that helps at all.
