We added a new plant recently. I suspect that it started from there.

I read online that the ratio is 1:4, does that sound about right?

Thank you

Should I wait for the plants to get dry before I water it each time?

 

I live in Vancouver

5 pots by the window include:

  • rubber plant
  • monstera and snake plant
  • an orchid
  • a green anthurium
  • this new plant:

They are very small, I didn't notice they were bugs until today. I have been cleaning them away.

Some are dead, and some are walking. None are flying but they have wings.

What is it? What should I do to prevent the spread? How can I cure it in the long term?

They are still contained around the window sill. I want to get rid of them before they start flying around my home.

Should I put the plants outside?

I checked for them and I did not see any. Thank you

No, it doesn't get any direct sunlight. I was worried it wasn't getting enough light in that spot, but I haven't moved it yet

 

I think that it is this plant, but I'm not sure.

We are located in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I have attached more photos below.

The following photos were taken a few weeks ago.

 

Every day I find a few leaves on the ground. I read online that it might be root rot so I have been avoiding giving it water.

I might try to take it out of the pot and remove the bad roots. Does anyone have experience with removing bad roots?

 

The label says "Schefflera".

  • 4/5 for sunlight
  • 2.5/5 for water
  • 5-25 for temperature
  • Moderate for fertilizer

After I brought it home, I see that some of the leaves are turning dark and falling off. I don't know why.

Thank you in advance
