Plant Problem Solver

Why are my plant’s leaves yellow?

Check the soil first. Water only when it feels dry several centimetres down, then let excess drain completely.

How can I fix leggy growth?

Move it into brighter indirect light and trim badly damaged leaves. Avoid sudden sunlight, which can cause scorching.

What should I do about pests?

Isolate the plant, wipe pests away, then treat leaves with diluted insecticidal soap. Repeat weekly until clear.

How do I spot overwatering?

Repot into fresh, well-draining soil, remove mushy roots, and wait several days before watering again.

Does my plant need repotting?

Usually, yes. Choose a pot with drainage holes and move up only one size to prevent soggy soil.
