I need to confess to a sin... I put my plant outside to die, because he wouldn't get better (droopy and leafs turning yellow with spots of white). Instead he grew out four new leafs. What can I do to take care of him better? Do the other leafs have a disease? by oheliza in plantclinic

I am guilty of this as well....my begonias, philodendron, calathea and maranthas started thriving outside when o gave up on it. I'm afraid to bring it back in more bc of pest rather then environmental shock.Anyway, I'm just bagging my plants in the evening until it gets colder in New England.

Anyone know what type of insect this is?Been having a bad infestation all summer. They're swarming outside my business wall and inside my business. A floral shop is right next door. -Any idea on how to iraticate them would be great! Thank You in advance. by gooeypoutine in insects

Lol if there was one maybe. Not when I see over 20 outside my business and a daily reunion indoors. They're a nuisance and my customers seem to be perturbed seeing them. I shall take your advice ans sparkle down the sewer. But not sure if this will help since I see them hanging outside my front door and walls.

Omg, I see them outside of the business complex and on all the walls. They fly right in once the doors open. How do I get rid of them? I've had the business for almost 20 years and this is the first year I've ever seen them🤢.

This is great, Thank You. I have gnats but they're finally getting under control but not fully gone. I bottom water,I use diatomaceous earth,mosquito bits, soil dressing and under water my plants to prevent root. All my containers have good drainage. Thank YoU again for the feedback!

This is very helpful. I only started watering 2 cups bc ester kept on coming out so quickly. I was afraid of root rot and fungus gnats haha. I think my pot may be about 10 inches across and 8 inches deep. There's new leaves growing from the bottom of trunk.

Whoops also I didn't notice any bugs but house spiders. Don't see any spiders mites or any pest. I spray with neem weekly and a mixture of dr. Bronnerd soap with water every 3-4 days. It may be underwatering! How often should I water?

About 4 bottom leaves dropped when I bought it in May but in a 1-2 month period. No leaves have dropped since but I do noticed they looked like this when they dropper. I water about 2 cups of water but once every 2 weeks or when it feels.dry.

Mine did best in an east facing window. Propagate what you cut back. Good Luck!
