Think your plant is thirsty because its leaves are drooping? Not so fast. Too much water can cause just as many problems as too little. Here are seven signs your indoor plants are asking you to put the watering can down.
Yellow leaves are your plant’s way of waving a little “something is wrong” flag. If several leaves are turning yellow at once, especially while the soil is still wet, you may be overwatering.
This one is seriously confusing. You watered your plant yesterday and it is still looking completely miserable. What gives? Overwatering can damage the roots and stop them from absorbing water properly.
Healthy leaves should generally feel firm and fresh. If they start feeling soft, limp or mushy, your plant could be getting too much water. This is especially worth checking if the leaves are also changing colour or falling off.
