Plant DecodedGrow smarter
Most plant care advice is a list of rules. These notes explain what’s actually going on inside your plant when something goes wrong, so you can work out the cause yourself and fix it for good.
Why are my plant’s leaves turning yellow?
Yellow leaves usually mean the leaf is losing chlorophyll, and where the yellow shows up tells you why.
What does overwatering actually do to a plant?
Overwatering doesn’t drown a plant with water, it suffocates the roots.
Why is my plant leggy?
A leggy plant is reaching for light. When light is too dim, a plant puts its energy into stretching its stems longer and thinner to find a brighter spot, leaving big gaps between leaves.
