Yellow leaves usually mean your plant is either overwatered, getting low light, or lacking essential nutrients.
Reduce watering frequency
Move to bright indirect light
Add a mild liquid fertilizer once every 15 days
Trim old yellow leaves they won’t turn green again.
Slow growth is often due to low sunlight, poor soil, or lack of nutrition.
Place the plant where it gets longer/stronger light
Repot into a fresh, well-draining soil mix
Feed with a balanced NPK fertilizer monthly
Growth naturally slows during winters that’s normal.
Brown leaf tips usually signal underwatering, low humidity, or salt buildup in the soil.
Water more consistently
Mist the leaves or keep a humidity tray
Flush soil with clean water once a month to remove salts
Cut only the brown part keeping the leaf shape intact.
Drooping leaves indicate stress usually from improper watering or sudden temperature changes.
Check soil moisture (dry = water; soggy = wait)
Keep away from AC direct air
Move to stable, bright indirect light
Most drooping plants recover within 24–48 hours after correction.
| Plant Type | Watering Frequency | Light Requirement | Extra Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Indoor Tropical Plants (Monsteras, Areca Palm, ZZ Plant) |
Every 5–7 days | Bright indirect light | Let topsoil dry 2 inches. Wipe leaves weekly for better breathing. |
| Succulents & Cacti | Every 10–14 days | Full sun / bright light | Avoid misting. Use fast-draining soil. Overwatering kills faster than underwatering. |
|
Table-Top Indoor Plants (Pothos, Syngonium, Spider Plant) |
Every 4–6 days | Medium to low light | Rotate pot weekly for even growth. Clean leaves once a month. |
|
Outdoor Flowering Plants (Hibiscus, Rose, Bougainvillea) |
Every 1–2 days | Direct sunlight (4–6 hrs) | Add fertilizer every 15 days. Remove dead flowers to boost blooms. |
| Ferns & Moisture-Loving Plants | Every 2–3 days | Low to medium indirect light | Keep soil evenly moist. Mist leaves often to maintain humidity. |
| Snake Plant & Low-Light Plants | Every 10–12 days | Low to bright indirect | Thrives on neglect. Ensure pot has strong drainage. |
|
Large Indoor Floor Plants (Fiddle Leaf Fig, Rubber Plant) |
Every 7–10 days | Bright indirect light | Don’t move frequently; they hate position changes. Clean leaves with a damp cloth. |
| Balcony / Semi-Outdoor Plants | Every 3–5 days | Partial shade / filtered sun | Heat increases water loss—monitor soil in summer. Protect from harsh afternoon sun. |
6–8 hours of direct sunlight. Best for outdoor plants, succulents, flowering plants.
Strong natural light but no harsh direct sun. Perfect for most indoor plants.
Filtered light for a few hours + gentle shade rest of the day. Ideal for balconies plants.
Can survive in minimal natural light. Works in corners, hallways, offices rooms.
White cotton-like clusters forming on stems, leaf joints, and new growth. Leaves may appear weak or sticky due to honeydew residue, attracting ants.
Clean infested areas using a neem-oil and water solution. Repeat every few days until pests disappear. Keep the plant isolated to avoid spreading.
Avoid spraying oils during intense afternoon sunlight.
White powdery coating, circular leaf spots, or moldy soil patches. Affected plants may show slower growth, drooping leaves, or reduced shine.
Reduce watering immediately to limit moisture. Improve ventilation by spacing plants properly. Remove damaged leaves and apply a light fungicide if required.
Let the top layer of soil dry between every watering
Tiny red mites, fine webbing beneath leaves, and yellow dotted patches on foliage. Leaves may curl or look dusty because mites feed on plant sap.
Rinse leaves thoroughly to remove mites. Apply neem spray twice weekly for control. Maintain higher humidity since mites thrive in dry air.
Check the undersides of leaves weekly to detect mites early.
