The dark ones are aphids, and the white ones are likely whitefly since they have wings. Since you have both then a careful search will probably turn up mealybugs as well since they are a known pest of Kalanchoe. These bugs are attacking the most susceptible parts of the plant, the fresh new growth and the flowers. Perhaps you have a source of these bugs on ...

Actually there does not seem anything wrong with the basil plant apart from old age. Time to replace it with a younger seedling and allow that to continue to provide leaves.
Longer version: there are at least 3 different plants known as "albahaca" in Spanish and Portuguese and Caribbean areas; this one we can see from the crumply leaves and light ...

Yes, your mint has probably had a bit too much water. Also it has filled its pot and therefore exhausted all the resources there. It is time to move it to a new pot by taking a piece of a root from the existing plant and planting in new soil.
If you take your plant out of the pot and break open the root ball you will find many very thin roots and a few very ...

If they have wings, most likely aphids - these are green, white, black or brown in colour and are very common. Any insecticide should work, or try neem oil spray - note that systemic insecticides will keep them away for up two weeks, whereas a contact insecticide will only clear what is currently present on the plant when you use the spray.

I would not put it in water; I suggest you get some new potting soil asap, a pot with drainage holes that is big enough to house what roots there are on the bottom of the one stem that appears to still have life in it without cramping or bending the roots, and pot it up properly, making sure the roots are all buried properly, and planting it no deeper than ...

The issue of drainage is very important, not necessarily that water flows out the bottom but that air is pulled in at the top. Some plants can tolerate being wet for a while, but very few roots can survive without air, either present in the irrigation water or allowed to flow through the compost. Kalanchoe is not a plant that can tolerate wet roots.
When we ...

This plant has presumably been "forced" probably with the intention of making it flower for Christmas or Valentine's Day, though apparently that didn't quite work out as planned!
In fact miniature roses are generally tougher plants than the larger varieties. The are quite happy with outdoor winter temperatures down to -20F (-30C). They prefer ...

Unfortunately, that looks too late, sorry.
I don't have a good history with Peace lily too. They reaction to stress is so bad. and the only medium I managed to keep them alive (after a stress such as dried or rotten roots) was water.
Your Peace lily has almost no foliage so it has a serious problem with the photosynthesis. And two years + three month without ...

Rooting cuttings not always yields a 100% success rate. There can be losses due to rot or other conditions that persisted even before the cuttings were taken. In your case I think the problem is related to the fact of winter. Lower light and probably lower humidity conditions are not ideal for propagation. A plant without roots will struggle to keep its ...
