Office plants are fantastic at brightening up a workspace, but they’re not entirely self-sufficient. Like any living thing, they need proper care to thrive. Here are five signs your office plants might be crying out for help.

1. Wilting Leaves

If your plants look droopy or tired, it’s often a sign of underwatering. On the flip side, overwatering can also cause wilting. Check the soil: if it’s dry, your plant needs water; if it’s soggy, let it dry out before watering again.

2. Yellowing Foliage

Yellow leaves usually mean trouble. This could be caused by too much water, not enough nutrients, or poor lighting. Assess your plant’s environment and adjust as needed.

3. Brown Edges

Dry, crispy edges on leaves are a sign of low humidity or inconsistent watering. Office air conditioning can dry out the air, so consider misting your plants or using a humidifier.

4. Stunted Growth

If your plant isn’t growing, it may need more light, better soil, or additional nutrients. Repotting or fertilizing can often help.

5. Pests

Tiny bugs like aphids or spider mites can harm your plants. Inspect leaves regularly and address infestations quickly with natural or chemical remedies.
