Why Do My Houseplants Keep Dying

A plant comes home from the shop with glossy leaves, and three weeks later it's yellow, limp, and dying, even though you watered it exactly like the tag said. Houseplants don't die from bad luck or a 'brown thumb'-they die from a short list of causes you can learn to spot: too much or too little water, light that's weaker than it looks, roots that can't breathe, the wrong pot or soil, or dry air. This book teaches you to judge watering by weight and feel instead of a schedule, read what your plant's roots and leaves are actually telling you, and run a calm, repeatable routine that finds the real problem instead of guessing.
