FAQ About Indoor Plant Stress Phenomena

How can improper watering lead to stress in indoor plants?
Improper watering is a leading cause of stress in indoor plants. Overwatering can lead to root rot, a condition where roots are deprived of oxygen and begin to decay, causing leaves to yellow and wilt. Conversely, underwatering can cause dehydration, leading to wilting and dry, crispy leaves. It's crucial to know the water needs of each specific plant species and adjust your watering schedule accordingly to prevent stress.
