Houseplant care, without guesswork
Use these practical guides to identify what is changing, make a safe first check and decide what your plant needs next.
Start with what you see
Each guide gives you a short, cautious first response. Check the soil, light and recent changes before watering, fertilising or repotting.
WATERHow often should I water houseplants?There is no universal schedule. Check the soil, pot weight, light and season before adding water.
YELLOW LEAVESWhy are my plant’s leaves turning yellow?Look at moisture, light, recent moves, nutrients and the age of the affected leaves.
BROWN TIPSBrown leaf tipsDry air, irregular watering, mineral build-up and harsh light can all cause brown edges.
WILTINGMy plant is wilting — what now?Do not water automatically. First work out whether the root zone is dry, wet or compacted.
TOO MUCH WATEROverwatering and root stressConstantly wet soil, yellow leaves and wilting can point to too much water rather than too little.
IDENTIFYIdentify a plant from a photoStart with a clear photo in good light, then use the plant’s identity to tailor its care routine.
FUNGUS GNATSFungus gnats in soilReduce persistently damp soil and break the gnat life cycle safely.
REMINDERSWatering remindersUse a reminder as a cue to inspect soil—not an automatic watering command.
Important: each guide starts with a cautious care check; use the plant, soil and conditions rather than a fixed schedule.
