Troubleshooting Even if you aren’t a Plant Killer type of Plant Parent, you are going to experience the pure fear of a plant that’s starting to look just a little fucked up at some point. You might be able to save it! But you might also make it worse. Here’s a quick guide to give you just a bit of hope in saving your suffering plant.

Yellowing Leaves

Could be too much light, too much water, too little water, a whole mess of things. Goodluck figuring that one out.

Dried Out Leaves

Gonna be too much light, not enough water, or a mix of both. I think this is one of the easier issues to fix. I’d rather have an underwatered plant than an overwatered on any day.

Shriveled Up Leaves

This is for succulents, FYI. Shriveled, shrunken leaves mean you underwatered your succulent. A shriveled-up cac tus means the same thing. I know succulents and cacti don’t need as much water, but you still gotta water them, dude.
