soggy, the plant might be overwatered. Additionally, observe the
appearance of the leaves and stems for signs such as wilting, yellowing,
or browning. These symptoms can help determine if the plant is
receiving too much or too little water.

1. Stunted Growth: Underwatered plants may experience
slow or stunted growth. This is because water is essential
for photosynthesis, nutrient absorption, and overall plant
development.

3. Yellowing Leaves: Underwatered plants may
develop yellow or brown leaves. This is often a sign
of nutrient deficiency due to the lack of water, which
prevents proper nutrient uptake from the soil.

4. Reduced Flowering and Fruit Production: Insufficient water can
hinder the plant's ability to produce flowers or fruits. This is
because water is crucial for the formation and development of
flowers and fruits

plants are weakened and more vulnerable to pests

Signs of overwatering plants.
1. Yellowing leaves: If the leaves of your
plant are turning yellow, especially the
lower ones, it could be a sign of
overwatering. Overwatering can cause
the roots to become waterlogged,
leading to nutrient deficiencies and root.
Sophia Rose Escalo Rufino
2. Wilting: While it may seem
counterintuitive, overwatered plants can
actually wilt. This is because the roots are
not able to absorb oxygen properly when
they are waterlogged, causing the plant to
lose turgidity. Jhonalyn Dacillo
3. Mold or fungus growth: Excessive moisture can create a favorable
environment for mold and fungus to grow on the surface of the soil or
plant. If you notice any fuzzy growth or a musty smell, it could indicate
overwatering. Dan Tanudra
4. Root rot: Overwatering can lead to root rot, which is a fungal infection
that affects the roots. Signs of root rot include brown, mushy roots and a
foul odor coming from the soil. Melody Palma
5. Slow growth: Overwatered plants may exhibit slow or stunted growth. This
is because the roots are not able to absorb nutrients properly when they are
constantly saturated with water. Sherish Sabido
Remember, it's important to find the right balance when
watering your plants. It's best to allow the top inch of soil to dry
out before watering again, depending on the specific needs of
the plant species. Lyra Angelene Espineli

Signs of underwatering plants.
1. Wilting leaves: When a plant is
underwatered, its leaves may wilt
and appear droopy. This is a
defense mechanism to conserve
water. Rhael Sumagui
2. Dry soil: If the soil around the
plant feels dry to the touch, it is a
sign that the plant is not
receiving enough water. Arjohn
Sarita
3. Yellowing or browning leaves: Underwatered plants may develop yellow or
brown spots on their leaves. This is due to the lack of water reaching the leaves
and nutrients being unable to move through the plant. Sophia
4. Slow growth: Plants that are not getting enough water will often
exhibit slower growth compared to well-watered plants. Jhonalyn Dacillo
5. Leaf curling: Some plants may curl their leaves when they are underwatered
in an effort to reduce water loss through transpiration. Rhael Sumagui
6. Stunted roots: Underwatered plants may have stunted root growth,
as they are not able to absorb enough water from the soil. Genesis
Remember that different plants have different water requirements, so
it's important to understand the specific needs of your plants to
provide them with the right amount of water. Lyra Angelene Espineli
