What's wrong with my plant???

We've all had at least one of those gardening moments - you've purchased your plants, brought them home and watched over them with tender loving care.... But one of your plants looks terrible! What could be wrong?

​

We get these kind of questions all the time from customers - what's wrong with my _______ plant? So we've gathered some easy resources to help you figure out what the issue could be.

Watering:

First step is the simplest - check to see if it is overwatered or underwatered. Symptoms will look very similar for both: drooping leaves, and yellowing or browning of the leaves. The only real way to tell the difference is to check the soil - if it's dry, you're likely underwatering, if it is wet or damp, or if you see a green film of algae, you are likely overwatering.

Nutrient Deficiencies

There's also a great thorough resource from Michigan State University that's a bit more wordy, but very detailed :)
