Stop! 🛑 Don't Water That Wilting Plant Yet! (Is it Thirsty or Drowning?)

Описание: We've all been there: you see a sad, wilting plant, and your immediate instinct is to grab the watering can. But wait! What if your act of kindness is actually killing it?

In this video, we put on our "Plant Detective" hats to solve the biggest mystery in plant care. We'll uncover why a drowning plant looks exactly like a thirsty one, how to spot the silent killer known as "Root Rot," and the simple "Finger Test" that will save your plants from ever dying of overwatering again!

📌 Key Takeaways:
1. The Paradox: Why wet soil can actually cause a plant to die of thirst (Root Rot explained).
2. The Clues:
Thirsty Plant: Crispy edges, soil pulling away, leaves feel thin/papery.
Drowning Plant: Yellow/soft lower leaves, mushy spots, fungus gnats, swampy smell.
3. The Fix:
Underwatered: Soak it deeply.
Overwatered: Stop watering immediately! Aerate the soil or repot.
4. The Foolproof Tests:
The Finger Test: Stick your finger 2 inches deep. (Dry = Water / Cool & Moist = Wait).
The Heft Test: Check the weight of the pot.
5. The Golden Rule: Overwatering is about *frequency*, not volume. "Water deeply, then wait."
6. Final Tip: When in doubt, let it dry out.
