🌿 FAQ Friday: Why are my plant leaves turning yellow?

Yellow leaves are one of the most common garden problems—and the good news is, they’re usually easy to fix!

The most common cause? Overwatering.
When soil stays too wet, roots struggle to breathe, and leaves start to turn yellow.

It could also be:

• Nutrient deficiencies (like magnesium)
• Poor drainage
• Natural aging of older leaves

👉 Simple fix:
Check your soil before watering. If it’s still damp, wait. Most plants prefer a good drink only when they need it.
