Observation is the first care tool

Before reaching for water, fertiliser, or a larger pot, read the conditions around the plant.

Notice the direction and duration of light, moisture below the surface, airflow, recent temperature shifts, and the pattern of new growth. A single symptom can have several causes; a short record of what changed often reveals more than an immediate correction.
