Overwatering
Overwatering keeps roots deprived of oxygen and often shows up as yellow leaves, drooping, and soil that stays wet too long.
How to confirm it
- Check whether the top two inches of soil are still damp several days after watering.
- Look for drooping paired with wet soil rather than dry soil.
- Inspect drainage holes or bed drainage before adding fertilizer.
