Did you know that houseplants can communicate? We talk to our houseplants in the hope that they can tell us what's wrong. Fortunately, plants communicate with us all the time. If your plants' leaves are wilted, they are saying, "Please water me." The yellow leaves are saying “Don't water more. You're killing me with your kindness.”
Below they will talk about what the plants are trying to tell you. Let's look at some things your plants are trying to tell you.
Fall of leaves and flowers
Stress sign: A common sign that your plant is stressed is if it is shedding leaves and flowers.
Stress factors:
– Lack of water
– Excessive watering
– Temperature change
- Lack of light
If the problem is not a lack or excess of water, or something else easy to identify, be patient. The plant will most likely adapt to the new situation.
Wilting
Wilting is usually a sign that your plant needs water. Some plants, like peace flowers, wilt so badly you'd think they were dead. But don't worry, they are just dramatizing and will revive after a good watering.
Extension
In the plant world, elongation means long, slender stems, as plants are reaching toward the light. If you notice this sign, check your plant's requirements as it most likely needs more light. One way to encourage horizontal growth and make the plant fuller and more beautiful is to pinch off the top of the stem. In addition, plucking spent flowers is a good idea that will help your plant save energy as well.
Accumulation of salt
Have you noticed some white stuff on the side of the clay pots? As you water and fertilize your plants, salts and other minerals can build up, causing the tips of the leaves to turn yellow or brown. Watering your plants in the sink and letting the water run through a few times helps to rinse them. Use a sponge to clean the outside of the vase and change the vases.
Leaf tips brown
The leaves get brown tips because the water is not reaching as far. Lack of water or excessive fertilization is usually to blame. To solve this problem, make sure to water the plant consistently.
