00:00Signs you're watering your indoor plants way too much.

00:04Yellow or translucent leaves reveal waterlogged roots deprived of oxygen,

00:11causing chlorophyll loss, tissue softness in pothos and peace lilies.

00:16Fungus gnats swarming around your pots.

00:19Tiny flies indicate persistently wet soil where larvae feed on roots,

00:24weakening moisture-loving houseplants like philodendrons and monstera.

00:27Mold or algae growth on soil surface.

00:31Fuzzy mold or slimy algae thrive on constantly moist soil,

00:35competing for oxygen and nutrients and signaling poor drainage.

00:40Wilting despite moist soil.

00:42Oversaturated roots rot and lose water uptake,

00:45causing wilting even when soil is damp, a symptom known as root rot.

00:50Edema or water-soaked blisters on leaves.

00:53Excess water in leaf cells causes edema,

00:56visible as water-soaked blisters on undersides of leaves that later brown in cork.

01:01Soil that smells musty or sour.

01:04A sour, vinegar-like odor signals anaerobic bacterial growth in waterlogged soil,

01:09indicating oxygen deprivation and harmful microbial imbalance.

01:13Mushy or soft stems and roots.

01:16Spongy stems or roots indicate rot from constant moisture,

01:19causing collapse of internal tissues and blackened bases in susceptible plants.

01:23Stunted growth and lack of new leaves.

01:27Waterlogged roots lack oxygen,

01:29reducing nutrient transport and forcing plants into survival mode,

01:32stunting growth and preventing new leaf emergence.

01:35Leaf drop or browning leaf margins.

01:38Excess moisture damages root function,

01:40causing leaves to brown at edges or drop,

01:43common in moisture-sensitive succulents and tropical species.

01:46Edges of soil surface growing faint white fuzz.

01:50White mold fuzz on soil surface thrives in damp, poorly aerated media,

01:54signaling excessive moisture and risk of fungal infestation.

01:58Soil that cracks on the surface.

02:00Repeated over-watering compact soil,

02:03causing surface crusts that crack upon drying,

02:05preventing even water penetration and worsening saturation.
