My hibiscus plant has been attacked by white bugs. I pruned most of the affected parts, but new leaves that appeared afterwards turned yellow quickly. The new branches also look rough, with small bumps. What is wrong?The brown bumps on your hibiscus stems are likely lenticels, which are pores on woody stems that help the plant to breathe. They do not look like scale insects, which can be removed by scraping them with a ruler or fingernail.
My chilli padi plant was healthy and fruiting until some weeks ago when it started to shed leaves. New leaves that grew afterwards soon dried up. What is wrong?Your plant is infested with broad mites, a common pest found on chilli plants. These are not visible to the naked eye. My money plant, which started off as a cutting from a healthy plant, has few leaves and is not growing well. What can I do?Although the money plant is shade-tolerant and can survive indoors for prolonged periods, it needs enough light to grow properly.
I was given a potted plant by my late grandmother a few years ago. It was doing fine until I repotted it with new soil. Why are the leaves turning soft and drooping?If you repotted offsets, did these have roots? The lack of roots will prevent them from taking up water. When placed in a hot and sunny spot, they can shrivel up from water loss.During this period, place the pot in a shaded spot to reduce the rate of water loss. Avoid burying the offsets too deeply as this can cause them to rot.
