How to Use the Plant Care Tool
Over-watering is the #1 killer of houseplants. This tool helps you find the "sweet spot" based on your plant's biology and environment.
- Plant Type: Different plants store water differently. Succulents store it in leaves, while tropicals need constant humidity.
- Season: Plants grow faster and drink more in Summer. In Winter, many go dormant and need very little water.
- Light: More light usually means more evaporation and photosynthesis, requiring more frequent watering.
- The Finger Test: Always stick your finger 1-2 inches into the soil. If it's dry, water it. If it's damp, wait.
- Drainage: Ensure your pots have holes at the bottom to prevent "root rot."
Why are my plant's leaves turning yellow? +
Yellow leaves are often a sign of over-watering. It means the roots are "suffocating" in too much moisture. Let the soil dry out completely before watering again.
What is 'Indirect Light'? +
This is light that is bright but not hitting the leaves directly (like near a window with a sheer curtain). Direct sun can burn the leaves of many indoor plants.
Should I mist my plants? +
Tropical plants love humidity. Misting can help, but a humidifier or a pebble tray with water is more effective for long-term health.
How often should I fertilize? +
Most plants only need fertilizer during their growing season (Spring and Summer), usually once every 2-4 weeks. Avoid fertilizing in Winter.
What is 'Root Rot'? +
It's a fungal disease caused by soggy soil. It turns roots mushy and black, preventing the plant from taking in nutrients. Good drainage is the best cure.
