Plants Dying and Divas

 

Are your plants dying?   Remember:  “Alright, what changed? Light? Temperature? Water? Drafts? Humidity? Moved Plant? ”

 

 

Are your plants dying? Ask first:

• What changed with light?

• What changed with temperature?

• What changed with watering? What about water quality?

• Are there drafts?

• Has humidity changed?

• Did I move the plant?

Plants react to environmental changes far more than people realize.

 

 

 

 Divas: Calatheas, Polka Dot, String of Pearls, Peperomia, and Callisia "Pink Panther".
