1. Watering too often. -If you are watering on a schedule it’s time to ditch it! The fastest way to see if you need to water is sticking your finger in the soil. If the soil is dry, time to water. You can also do the lift test. If the pot is light, you need to water. Or purchase a soil meter (although they are not 100% reliable!) Please research each plants watering needs, as some might like to dry out more than others before it’s next watering!
2. Inadequate lighting. -If your plant is not getting enough light, it may slow down on new growth, put out smaller leaves or stop growing completely. Your plant may grow “leggy” while it’s reaching for the sun. Or stay wet for far too long. On the other hand, if your plant is getting too much light the leaves may start fading or have burns marks. They could also start crisping up or even dropping to “hide from the sun”
3. Unnecessary repotting. -Our plants don’t need repotting as much as we think. Some only like being repotted once every year or more! And repotting can be stressful on the plants roots and sometimes more bad than good. Only repot if you know your plant truly needs it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
