Does your plant look like it's experiencing a plant pandemic ? 😷 Are the leaves turning yellow, the flowers falling off, and there's something strangely glowing on the stem? Don't worry – there's no need to call the gardening emergency services right away! 📞🪴
Instead of panicking, prepare a home plant medicine cabinet and learn how to quickly diagnose and save your green companions!
🟡 SYMPTOM: Yellow leaves
🔎 What could be wrong?
-
Too much water (a classic mistake of a caring caregiver)
-
Not enough light
-
Lack of nutrients
💊 Plant recipe:
✅ Put the watering can aside and let the soil dry out
✅ Move closer to the window (but not to the Sahara)
✅ Give a dose of bio-fertilizer with microelements 🌿💉
🟤 SYMPTOM: Withers and looks sad
🔎 Diagnosis:
-
Too dry
-
Too wet
-
Or... he only lives out of habit 😅
💊 Rescue:
✅ Submerge the pot in water for 15 minutes
✅ Checking the condition of the roots
✅ Repotting into fresh soil with perlite
🕷️ SYMPTOM: Sticky leaves or white fluff
🔎 Most likely… pests!
-
Mealybugs, aphids, spider mites – the whole gang!
💊 First aid:
✅ Wash the leaves with soap and water
✅ Use a natural neem oil spray
✅ Isolate the plant as if in quarantine! 🦠
🧰 Plant medicine cabinet – what is worth having?
🧴 Sprayer – for spraying and sprinkling
🌿 Bio-fertilizer – for immunity and quick regeneration
🧼 Gray soap – a natural pest control agent
🛠️ Small scissors – for surgical cuts
💧 Soil moisture sensor – because guessing doesn't work 😉
🪴 Soil and perlite supply – soil first aid
🛒 From Greenably we recommend:
✅ Plant Starter SOS – a kit for every emergency (sprayer, bio-fertilizer, gray soap and gloves)
✅ Pots with a rescue system (read: water reservoir)
✅ Natural garlic and nettle sprays – stinky but effective!
🌼 Summary:
Not every plant needs a therapist right away – sometimes all it takes is the right fertilizer and a sip of rainwater 🌧️🌿. Take care of your green medicine cabinet, and your plants will reward you with lush greenery (and maybe they won't die at every opportunity 😅).
