Five quick checks before you do anything

  1. Is the light still working?

    Is the light still working?

    If leaves look pale or scorched, move the pot slightly. A few steps can make a big difference.

  2. Check the soil, not the schedule

    Check the soil, not the schedule

    Stick a finger in the soil. Dry? Water. Still moist? Leave it alone.

  3. Remove what's already done its job

    Remove what's already done its job

    Pinch off dry leaves or spent stems. This helps plants focus on new growth.

  4. Give roots a bit of space

    If roots are circling the pot or pushing out, it may be time to move up one size — not today, just soon.

  5. Use or share what's ready

    Use or share what's ready

    Harvest a little, use it, or give it away. Plants grow better when they're used.
