Overwatering / Oxygen Deficiency in Root Zone

Rapid whole-plant yellowing combined with soft, droopy leaves and overly wet medium. Roots need oxygen - waterlogged soil suffocates them and mimics nutrient deficiency.

What usually causes it

• Watering too frequently before medium has dried sufficiently
• Poor drainage or no drainage holes
• Pot too large for plant size
• Compact medium lacking aeration
