Too Much Water? Learn the Over Watering Plants Signs to Prevent Plant Death!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so, let me tell you about this little adventure I had with my plants. The title I gave it is “Overwatering Plants Signs,” sounds dramatic, right? It kind of was. I’m no expert, just a regular guy who likes having some green around the house. But I learned a thing or two about paying attention to my leafy friends, and it all started with a bit of a mishap.

It all began innocently enough. I got these new plants, super excited, you know? I wanted to take really good care of them, so I watered them…a lot. Like, every day, maybe twice a day if I felt like it. I figured more water equals more love, right?

Too Much Water? Learn the Over Watering Plants Signs to Prevent Plant Death!

Wrong.

First thing I noticed, some of the leaves started turning yellow. Not the nice, autumnal yellow, but a sickly, pale yellow. I thought, “Maybe they need more sun?” So, I moved them to a sunnier spot. Didn’t help. Then, the leaves started getting these brown, mushy tips. Gross, right? That’s when I started to get worried.

I did what any self-respecting, slightly panicked plant parent would do – I hit the internet. Turns out, I was drowning my poor plants! Who knew there was such a thing as too much water? The articles I found talked about all these signs of overwatering, and it was like a checklist of everything I was seeing.

Here’s what I learned:

  • Yellowing leaves: Yeah, that was my first clue. Overwatering prevents the roots from getting the air they need, so the leaves start to suffer.
  • Brown, mushy tips or edges: This is basically the plant cells bursting because they’re full of too much water. Kind of like when you eat too much and feel like you’re going to explode.
  • Leaf drop: Yep, my plants started shedding leaves like crazy. It was like a tiny, green crime scene.
  • Mold or mildew on the soil: This one is pretty obvious. If the soil is constantly wet, it’s a party for mold and mildew. Not the kind of party you want in your house.
  • Root rot: This is the worst one. I didn’t actually dig up my plants to check, but from what I read, the roots turn brown and mushy. Smells real bad too.

So, yeah, I messed up. But I learned my lesson. Now, I check the soil before I water. I stick my finger in about an inch, and if it feels dry, then I water. If it’s still damp, I leave it alone. My plants are doing much better now. They’re green, they’re growing, and they’re not drowning. It’s a happy ending, or at least, a happy middle. I’m still learning, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
