The Signs of an over watered plant are:
- Lower leaves are yellow
- Plant looks wilted
- Roots will be rotting or stunted
- No new growth
- Young leaves will turn brown
- Soil will appear green (which is algae)
The signs of plants affected by too much water are very similar to plants that have too little water.
The Reason why plants are affected by too much water is that plants need to breath. They breath through their roots and when there is too much water, the roots cannot take in gases. It is actually slowly suffocating when there is too much water for a plant.
The How can you over water plants? Normally this happens when a plant owner is too attentive to their plants or if there is a drainage problem. How can you tell plants have enough water? Feel the top of the soil before you water. If the soil is damp, the plant does not need more water. Water only when the soil surface is dry.
if you find that your plant has a drainage problem that is causing too much water for a plant than correct this issue as soon as possible.
