FAQ About Indoor Plant Rescues and Rehabilitation

How do you diagnose nutrient deficiencies in indoor plants?
Nutrient deficiencies in indoor plants often present as discoloration of leaves, such as yellowing (chlorosis) or purpling, and stunted growth. Different nutrients cause different deficiencies; for example, nitrogen deficiency typically results in yellow leaves, while phosphorus deficiency can cause darkening and stunted growth. Conducting a soil test or using a complete liquid fertilizer as a general remedy can help address nutrient imbalances.
