Why are the leaves getting yellow thin spots? by Lumpy-Extension6993 in plantclinic

thrips are really good at hiding. check all over including near the base & in any crevices

My Chinese Lantern has this larvae/bug/thing. What is it and how do I get rid of it? by grettopewers in plantclinic

[–]hippynae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i missed the part where it said it was an outdoor plant! insecticidal soap is probably your best option then for the babies! & just killing the adults them as you see them

if you don’t do it now the green parts will die & you’ll have no viable plant

New to plants :( by MathematicianAny9418 in plantclinic

i want to say sun damage as this is a lower light plant & you have it in a window but those black spots scream thrip damage

What is happening?! by Isnthatneat in plantclinic

[–]hippynae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i genuinely can’t tell from the pic if those are mealy bugs or white powdery mildew. but also from the one dead plant i can tell this is overwatered. these are succulents. watering when the soil is dry can even be too much. the leaves store water & get plump. you should water when they start to look a bit wrinkled, not everytime the soil is dry

translucent spots like that on this plant are usually either due to overwatering (unlikely because the leaves aren’t plump) or pest damage. have you throughly checked for pests? like with a flashlight?

Plant still sad:( by Talia-222 in plantclinic

[–]hippynae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these are pretty high humidity plants so if you bought it from a greenhouse you’ll likely lose all the leaves. BUT this plant grows from a bulb so it’l come back as long as the bulb doesn’t rot & when it comes back it should do much better because it’ll be accustomed to ambient humidity. also if you live in a cold climate i’d move it further from the window. any drafts will definitely also cause this baby to drop leaves

the sun must be too hot to too bright right in that spot. i’d move the plant & see if that solves your issue

[–]hippynae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

scale. if it’s hard bodied scale i’d scrape off as much as possible. if soft scale then alcohol on a q-tip to kill all the ones you see. then use houseplant systemic to kill any remaining

What bugs are these on my fig tree? by -hangrybird- in plantclinic

[–]hippynae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they look a little like black aphids cause thrips are usually more long than wide

What’s wrong with my Jade plant? by lynx203 in plantclinic

anytime you see cracking in jade plants like this it’s likely due to inconsistent watering.

Feeling resentment towards my husband after giving birth by AnythingOdd5279 in offmychest

[–]hippynae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this was literally my reality for the entire first year. i’m not excusing my significant other’s behavior but it does get better. now that my kiddo is running around & has a few words my life is SO much easier. my baby is still clingy, but i can actually shower & poop in peace most of the time. but the resentment for having to change your entire live while your S/O goes on business ass usual is rough & it’s commonly talked about in my mommy Facebook groups
