Indoor Plant Care

Plant Problems & Fixes

Use symptoms as clues, inspect the whole plant and change one likely cause at a time.

Recognise mites, mealybugs, scale, aphids, thrips, whiteflies and fungus gnats early.

Break the fungus-gnat life cycle by correcting moisture and monitoring adults.

Spot mite damage before fine webbing becomes extensive.

Identify cottony mealybugs and shell-like scale insects, then remove and monitor them consistently.

Use the pattern, soil condition and recent changes to narrow the cause of yellow leaves.

Brown tips often reflect accumulated stress rather than one single deficiency.

Distinguish temporary thirst from root trouble, heat, cold and structural damage.

Recognise root decline early and rebuild a healthier root environment.
