Right plant, right place
What kind of light
do you really have?
Choose the description that best matches the spot where your plant will live.
Our take
You have the sweet spot for Monsteras, Philodendrons, Hoyas, and many Begonias.
Your plant is talking
Notice. Check.
Then act.
One symptom can have several causes. Start with the soil and recent changes before reaching for a remedy.
Let the mix dry appropriately, confirm drainage, then inspect roots if yellowing continues.
