How to Rescue A Dying Plant

How to Rescue A Dying Plant

Did you kill this plant? Whether it was you, a neighbor, or neglect from living in a hardware store plant deaths are on the rise... and we are here to put an end to it! 

Here's our step by step rescue guide: 

Step 1: Assess the situation

Is the plant too dry, too wet, or not getting enough light? Overwatering is a common culprit, leading to root rot. Under watering can cause leaves to brown and wither. Inadequate light will result in slow growth and pale leaves. When it's time to water add a squirt of Grow to boost the plant back to life.

Step 2: Clean the leaves 

Dirty leaves block life saving sunlight. Cleaning leaves also removes any pests or other nasties hiding in there. Use Protect and our Leaf Cleaning gloves to return the plant to it's shiny, bright self! 

Step 3: Repot if necessary

If the plant is root bound, repotting into a larger container with fresh potting soil mixed with Enrich can do wonders to revive it.

Step 4: Be patient

Plants take time to recover. Don't give up too soon! Keep watering with Grow and continue to clean the leaves with Protect and you'll see new growth and lush leaves before you know it.
