When your plants aren’t doing well, noticing the signs early can save you from a lot of trouble. Here are some important signs that something might be wrong:

1. Yellow Leaves: If the leaves near the bottom of your plant turn yellow, it could mean they need more nutrients or that they are getting too much water.

2. Droopy Leaves: If your plants look sad and droopy, check the dirt. They might be too dry or getting too much water, which causes that droopy look.

3. Spots on Leaves: If you see dark, sunken spots on the leaves or stems, it might mean your plant has a fungal infection or bacteria.

4. Slow Growth: If your plants aren’t growing like they should, it could be caused by rotting roots or bugs.

5. Webs or Bugs: If you notice webbing or tiny insects, check the underside of the leaves. You might find spider mites or aphids, which are common pests.

6. White Fluff: If you see a white powder on the leaves, it could be powdery mildew, which happens in humid weather.

Knowing these signs has helped me keep my garden healthy. It’s always best to deal with problems as soon as you spot them!
