The symptoms of a plant in decline are generally clear: yellowing or browning leaves, brittle stems, and a general dehydrated or dull appearance. These signs, according to experts, are usually a result of environmental stress, excessive sunlight, or insufficient watering. In these cases, in addition to adjusting light and humidity conditions, a boost of natural nutrients can be key.
