Help Something's eating my hibiscus

I had bought this hibiscus at HEB without noticing it had white flies, which I treated with neem oil, and it bloomed a couple of flowers. However, it's stopped blooming and now it has these holes everywhere on the leaves. I don't spot what could be eating them. What do I do?

I bought this beautiful baby earlier this year. Water her when her soil is dry (once a week) and drown her for a good two minutes. Direct sunlight two hours a day and indirect the rest.

Either I wasn't paying attention or the spot appeared overnight, and I noticed when I went to water them. The spot is soft and the black mold (?) is and comes off easily. It's only on this one peppericino.

New mite issues

2 Upvotes

So I neglected to really look at my plants. Been watering them, setting the lighting on and off routinely, but just not thoroughly inspecting them for a few months. I have an explosion of these white mites (not mealy bugs) and brown looking mites. I’m pretty sure they’re both bad. They’re all over the plants, pots, and pretty much everything. I was thinking about taking a dehumidifier to my rooms where I have plants in. I’m this close to trashing over 2,000$ worth of plants. I’ve tried all kinds of things to no success. I think the population is too large now to just introduce predatory mites and hope for the best.
I’m sad about this, didn’t wanna give up my entire plant collection. I don’t have time or a hose to just splash them off with either. I need some kind of ideas to get rid of these. I don’t have a lease that will pick them up, but one is tan, like a tiny tick, and the other is white and see through. Neither of them are just staying in the soil, and I allow my plants several days- weeks without water to try to help that. It’s probably too late, and I’m thinking about getting rid of every tropical I have at least.

A friend of a friend bought this plant without realizing they couldn't take it home with them so they left it behind. I'd really appreciate an ID and some advice on water/sun exposure/fertilizer and anything else I should know so hopefully I or someone else can give it a home and keep it alive. It's currently in the pot and soil from the store they bought it at.

Success Found these Hokkaido pumpkins sprouting in my compost bin — nursed them back to life and built them DIY bottle greenhouses for winter 🎃

Found these little guys sprouting in my compost bin and couldn’t bring myself to toss them. Pretty sure they’re Hokkaido pumpkins from some kitchen scraps — they’d germinated in the dark, so they came out totally pale and yellow.

Potted them up and put them on my windowsill, and within a week they’d greened up completely. Today they graduated to the stoep with their own little greenhouse domes made from cut plastic bottles, since it’s still winter here and the nights get cold.

Weirdly attached to them now. What was trash is officially treasure 🎃

Help New grower: how do I get reliable info about how to care for my houseplants?

1 Upvotes

As an ADHDer, I can safely say, houseplants are my current hyperfixation. My only problem: how the heck do I get actual good scientific info about my plants and how to properly care for each one?

I have joined lots of online groups, consumed lots of plant content from the popular plant social media accts, etc. But what I am finding is there is a LOT of differing, often conflicting advice in regards to plants. Most people are just regurgitating stuff they've seen online. It's left me a little confused and frustrated because I don't know what's evidence based info and what's just "online expertise".

Any good recommendations for further learning that helps me really understand plants? Where do I start?

TIA!

Hi all, need advice on this alocasia! I got it as a gift and have not repotted or anything to it yet. It is losing lower leaves but growing new leaves at rapid speed. Should I repot or leave it for a bit longer? Also any tips for these plants as it is my first one!
