If your once-thriving plant is suddenly drooping, yellowing, or developing mushy stems, there’s a good chance root rot is the culprit. Caused by overwatering and poor drainage, root rot is one of the most common killers of houseplants—but with the right intervention, many plants can bounce back. Here's how to identify, treat, and prevent root rot to give your plant a second chance.

When it comes to keeping houseplants happy, lighting is everything. Too little light, and your plant may grow leggy or stop growing altogether. Too much, and you risk scorched leaves and stressed foliage. The key is knowing your plant’s light preferences—and understanding the light conditions in your home.

Just like us, houseplants need regular meals to stay healthy and thrive. While light and water are essential, proper nutrition is what powers strong growth, vibrant foliage, and resistance to pests and disease. If you’ve noticed slow growth, pale leaves, or a lackluster appearance, your plants might be hungry.
