Don’t be afraid to push your finger about an inch or two down in to the soil to check the moisture. If your plants have yellowing leaves and old leaves, as well as new leaves that are falling at the same accelerated rate, you are overwatering.Ĭheck your soil regularly. Leaves falling off often accompanies this symptom. Stunted slow growth accompanied by yellowing leaves is also a symptom. You will also notice indentations forming directly above the growths on the top sides of the leaves. Once these blisters erupt, tan, brown, or white wart-like growths begin to form in their place. Cells will eventually die and burst, forming blisters and areas that look like lesions. Water pressure begins to build in the cells of plant leaves when the roots absorb more water than they can use. The biggest difference between the two is that too little water will result in your plant's leaves feeling dry and crispy to the touch while too much water results in soft and limp leaves. This also occurs when plants have too much water. When plants have too little water, leaves turn brown and wilt.
This results in a limited oxygen supply and plants are not able to breathe. If there is too much water or the soil is constantly wet, there is not enough air pockets. Healthy soil allows for oxygen to exist in the space between particles of soil. Overwatering, in simple terms, drowns your plant. While the roots of a plant take up water, they also need air to breathe. Roots are the primary source for your plants water, food, and intake of oxygen.
