Overwatering

Leaves drooping and appearing lifeless shortly after watering when the medium is still wet. Paradoxically looks like underwatering. The roots are oxygen-starved, not dry. Let the medium dry out fully before the next watering.

What usually causes it

  • Too frequent watering intervals
  • Medium holds too much water
  • Pot size too large for plant size
  • No airpots or drainage
