What causes Yellowing Leaves / Root Rot?
Overwatering or poor drainage suffocates the plant's roots, leading to decay.
How to treat Yellowing Leaves / Root Rot
Reduce watering frequency, ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes, and allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out completely before rewatering. If severe, carefully remove the plant, trim any mushy, brown roots, and repot in fresh, well-draining soil.
How to prevent Yellowing Leaves / Root Rot
Water only when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch, and never let the plant sit in standing water.
