FAQ About Indoor Plant Nutrient Dynamics

How can I tell if my indoor plant is nutrient-deficient?
Signs of nutrient deficiency in indoor plants can include yellowing leaves, stunted growth, poor flowering, browning leaf edges, and leaf drop. Different nutrients cause different symptoms; for example, nitrogen deficiency often causes older leaves to yellow, while phosphorus deficiency leads to purpling of leaves and stunted growth. Regular monitoring and soil testing can help diagnose specific deficiencies.
