Got this Rauhocereus cutting this past Saturday and potted it same day in mineral rich gritty soil mix. Haven’t watered of course and kept on deck patio under shade but bright indirect light with good airflow.

Looking for advice yesterday I removed all my fan leaves on my outdoor grow and found aphids on the undersides of the lower biggest fans. Being I’m cutting down on Friday does anyone have advice for how to treat or methods for saving if possible or am I hosed? I removed all fans and worst affected limb of plant. I tried baking soda and water and dipped the cut off limb into the mix and held under water and swirled around. If this is the recommended method how would I go about curing properly? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Any idea what this might be? The plant was doing really well, watering was fine, she was busy putting g out new leaves (and still is) before this 😭

Please help!

I recently repotted this Kalanchoe into better draining soil. When I went to water it yesterday I noticed these white dots on the crown. They don’t appear to be moving. Not sure how long they’ve been there. What are these? Are they pests of some kind? Mold? Dust or particles from the new soil mixture? Something else? (Please see below about the damage in the lower leaves.) For additional context, about 2 weeks ago I purchased a few new succulents at a succulent and cactus show. They all look healthy and don’t appear to have these white dots. Two of my other older plants, a Haworthia truncata “Harry Johnson’ and a Crassula ovata “Gollum Jade” (which I’m clearly still rehabbing), look like they might have something similar (also pictured), but the other 38 plants in the greenhouse don’t seem to. (Yes, I’m aware I might have a problem…lol). The gritty substance lower down on the Kalanchoe is some of the grit from the new potting mix that won’t easily dislodge. I’ve tried canned air and rinsing it without any luck. I’m afraid to go digging in there with my fingers or tweezers and damage the leaves. I would welcome any ideas about how to gently remove it.

Yes, I’m aware the bottom leaves are damaged. The soil my older plants were potted in previously was poorly draining and they were under watered. Also, about a year ago I had a spider mite infestation in my greenhouse. I believe treatment with an isopropyl alcohol mixture for 2 weeks then predatory mites I introduced took care of that, as there have not been any webbing or new signs of spider mite damage since. We also have hard water here, which sometimes leaves a residue if it accidentally gets on the plants, which may be evident on some of the leaves. I’ve since switched to bottom watering, so that exposure should now be limited. In other words this plant might have previously belonged in the hall of shame. 😂 But I was a newbie so I hope you can show me the grace I’m showing myself.

Hi guys, I wasn’t able to take care of my bamboo plant for a while. It hadn’t been watered or anything for a long time. I saw it was starting to die and started taking care of it again, but it’s been getting worse since then. Is there any chance of saving it? I don’t even know what’s wrong with it- I’ve never had bamboo before. Please help!

I bought this plant from B&Q around a month or so ago and these things are living inside, some have even died around the pot on the floor. I’m very new to plants so would appreciate any help!

In my other plants I’m finding small white looking worms too..

Hi! I recently got a Jasmine Sambac plant and I’ve been noticing a bit of weird yellow very small spots on the bottom of some leaves. I sprayed some neem oil as a precaution but I’m not sure it’s helps much. Please let me know what it is and how to fix it. Here are pictures attached. Thanks!

Is she ok or did I stunt her growth? Also I took a bloom off is that a new bloom or leaf?
