The bottom leafs of my plant are shriveling up and dying.Why do they that, is it ok or bad?


Question:They turn whitish yellow, then they shrivel up and die...Help

Answers:
When leaves turn yellow that is an indication that they are getting too much water. Stop watering for a bit and let the soil dry out some and then resume watering. You didn't mention if it was a house plant or a garden plant, but a good rule of thumb is that Most established plants outside in the garden only need a drink every few days and in some cases only once a week. My indoor plants only get a drink once a week as well. There are occasions when they droop a little and then I give them another. Most plants will tell you they need a drink. Better to be a little dry then over watered. Outside hanging baskets are the only plants that need water daily or in some cases twice a day.


If they are turning yellow before they dry out and die...it's because they are getting too much water.

If they are wilting but staying green before they dry out and die, it's because they're not getting enough water.
Give the plant fresh water and sunlight and the leafs wont die
