houseplant-care
Diagnose why a houseplant is struggling and set a care routine it'll actually thrive on — matched to your light, home, and how much attention you'll realistically give. Use when asked why is my plant dying, how do I care for a [plant], my plant's leaves are [yellow/brown/drooping], or help me keep this plant alive. Produces a likely-cause diagnosis from the symptoms, the specific fix, a simple ongoing care routine (water/light/feed), and honest 'is this the right plant for your space' guidance.

# Houseplant Care Most plant deaths come from a handful of fixable causes — usually overwatering, wrong light, or a mismatch between the plant and the room.
