One of the most common mistakes is overwatering. When the soil is constantly wet, the roots can no longer get enough air and begin to be damaged. In this case, the leaves turn yellow, soften, and the plant gradually weakens.

Soil quality is also important. If water does not drain into the ground and remains on the surface, the roots cannot develop properly. This is especially common in heavy clay soil or in pots that do not have drainage.

Location is another crucial factor. Every plant has different requirements — some need a sunny spot, some partial shade, some shade. A plant placed in the wrong location either burns or weakens.

In summer, heat often causes problems too. At high temperatures, the soil dries quickly, and the roots begin to overheat. In such cases, watering is no longer always enough.

👉 That is why using mulch is an effective method. Mulch is a soil cover — straw, bark, hay, hazelnut shells, and other material that retains moisture, reduces overheating, and improves the condition of the soil.

The most common causes are:

• Overwatering

• Poor drainage

• Wrong location

• Heat and overheating

• Unsuitable soil
