Excellent video with exactly the info you need to determine if you over or under watered and how to save an overwatered plant(if possible), I also like that you are given permission to fail ie if you have killed your plant learn from it and do not repeat your mistakes.So many videos on many subjects are just filled with "critical parent" info which really does not help.
I have two Foxglove plants that are wilting, I think I'm watering them too much, I give them each about a gallon a of water a day sinch they are on the south side of the house, and it gets full sun in the late morning and all afternoon. It has been really hot in the Midwest, so I was giving them extra water.. Now I think I'm over watering. Thank you for the video..
So two pieces of advice, white mold may be mycorrhizae (a good thing) also eliminate fungus gnats by baking your soil at 170 for 45 minutes in some aluminum disposable pans (reusable).
I live in a place that can rain heavily twice in one day, and in the same day be sunny, humid and 90+ degrees. I had mold, wilting, brown spots and mites. My only fix was to repot all my plants, and learn to grow plants in covered shaded areas.
In general, do these tips go for trees too? I have an olive tree that appears to be dying from the top on a couple branches. The die off has seemed to accelerate and the only variable that has changed is that I upped the amount of water the yard gets by %10 (which doesn’t seem like too much to me) now that our local temps went from 80s up to consistent triple digits (probably 103 on average). No obvious signs of disease on the tree. Since I def don’t have a green thumb, any ideas you have would be great to hear if you have time. Thanks
Yellowing leaves on top are usually a sign of underwatering. Yellow leaves at the base are a sign of overwatering. Olive trees are native to dry Mediterranean climates so they don't like to be moist all the time.
Snake Plants / Sansevieria are drought tolerant. Better to err on the side of under watering. The size of the plant will determine the frequency. True, for a small plant, watering every other week or once a week during summer may be ideal. For a large plant, once month can be sufficient.
