Why does my plant have yellow leaves?Updated a year ago

It is important to know that yellow or brown leaves are not usually a serious sign of decline. They may signal to you, though, that there is room for improvement! And we will gladly help you with that. Some plants will need some time to acclimatize to their new environment. As they get settled and adjust to new lighting, humidity and care routines, some leaves (and tears) will be shed! Don't fret, this is totally normal and no cause for concern. Aren't we all a bit stressed out after a big move? So is your plant!

But what about after a few weeks?
If your plant continues to develop yellow/brown mushy spots or brown crispy spots, it is often a sign that you are giving it a little too much or too little TLC. We can certainly help with that, just send us a note detailing your care routine and we can give you some tips! If you download the Plantsome app, and make sure you are well aware of the plants' lighting needs, you are well on your way to beautiful growth of your green amigos! Oh and don't forget, just with most other things in life, with plants too: patience is a virtue!

If you are seeing rapid decline of the majority of leaves on your plant, or some other distressing signs, do send us a note and we'll take a look together!
