Just had an aphid battle on some pepper plants I brought in for the winter.

I can’t keep a succulent alive. I don’t know what it is, if I over or under water or it’s their location in my house. Everyone says they are easy but not for me.

Keeping them away from my cats but still where I can see them so I don’t forget to care for them
Also, lighting

Adding lights to where I want to place plants. Mealy bugs and fungus gnats. I CANT STAND gnats and fruit flies. Bugs in general lol

Moths infestation in one of our plants then all over the other plants.
When I over water. 💦

I usually over water. I struggled with morning glory until I reminded myself to neglect watering. Lol

Caring too much. Fussing over them when the plants are better off left alone

My biggest struggle is holding back the urge to prune everything constantly 😅

For years I had a handful of plants with no issues. The past fall I decided to get some additional plants and repot my existing plants. The soil I bought was infested with fungal gnats. I have been using mosquito bits and sticky traps for two months with no visible improvement. I just repotted almost everything, which was a total mess because it’s winter, and I had to do it inside. I really hope it helps. I’m at my wits end. I’m going to continue using the sticky traps and mosquito bits. I got an indoor garden for Christmas and can’t even set it up since the gnats would get into that too.

Feeling like I need to get moss poles for my climbers but hating the look and work of them so not doing it and then obsessing over it haha

Idk how many tradescantias I’ve killed. I had one at work. I was out for 2.5 weeks for the holidays then an emergency situation. It was dead when I can back. It’s the only one. I have a drosera barely alive, but the trad is the only loss. Guess I’ll try again.

Keeping them alive. It’s either too much water, not enough…too much sun, not enough, etc etc.
I’ve had 5 different types of indoor plants this year & none survived.
