Fungus gnats SOS My plant (fishbone prayer) started with brown spots. When I checked the soil, I found kind of really tiny flies. Thought they might be fungus gnats. I started with potassium soap treatment, but it's been a couple of weeks and my plant doesn't seem better. It started growing some new leaves but they don't stop turning brown and I still can see the insects. Today, I saw the flies in another plant (snake plant) even though I isolated the first one. I'm afraid others are getting the plague. Any other recommendations? Better to change the soil?

Curled leaves??? What is going on here? My calathea’s leaves rolled up all of a sudden. They’re not browned or crispy at all, they feel pretty normal, they just curled up and flopped. I thought it was a lack of humidity and put it next to a humidifier and that did nothing. Then my stromanthe did the same thing. Is there any hope? What on earth is happening? #PlantTherapy #help

Feline shenanigans My tortiseshell cat Ivy will not leave my Golden Mosaic plant leaves alone. I am new to house plants so I’m really hoping she will get bored after the newness wears off but meanwhile, any tips or tricks to keep her from eating the leaves? Is Bitter Apple spray ok to use on the leaves she’s been munching on? I just want to have nice things! Thanks!

The leaves on my never never plant are browning. Any tips? Sunlight seems ok as she’s turned her leaves towards the window and her soil is moist but not wet. Only thing I can think of is humidity because I live in Colorado. #GoldenMosaicPlant

I put it in a hallway where it doesn't get any outside light at all. Is there a problem? Is it the kind of plant that always needs sunlight? How often should I water it and how should I care for it? #NeverNeverCtenanthe
