Common questions about plant diseases

How can I tell if my houseplant has common plant diseases or just needs water?
Yellow or wilting leaves can mean your plant is thirsty, but they are also early signs of trouble. If the soil is moist but the leaves look spotty, mushy, or discolored, you might be dealing with a disease. You can take a quick photo of the leaf to identify the exact problem and learn what to do next.
Can a sick plant infect my other houseplants?
Yes, many fungal and bacterial issues can spread to nearby plants. If you suspect a plant is sick, move it away from your healthy plants right away. Keep it in a separate room while you diagnose the issue and start treatment.
What is the best way to treat root rot?
Root rot usually happens when a plant sits in wet soil for too long. To fix it, carefully remove the plant from its pot and trim away any brown, mushy roots. Repot the plant in fresh, well-draining soil and adjust your watering schedule so the top few inches dry out between waterings.
Why do the leaves on my plant have brown spots?
Brown spots often point to a fungal leaf spot or a watering issue. Try to avoid getting water directly on the leaves, and make sure your plant has good airflow. If the spots spread, you can snap a photo to figure out if you need to remove the affected leaves or apply a simple treatment.
Will my plant recover if I cut off all the sick leaves?
Plants are incredibly resilient. Removing damaged or diseased leaves stops the problem from spreading and helps the plant put its energy into new, healthy growth. Just make sure to use clean, sharp scissors and leave a few healthy leaves so the plant can still take in light.
