🌱 Overwatering vs Underwatering — Spot the Difference 🌱
Presented by Burly the Bear 🐻 | Keitz Landscape
Water keeps plants alive — but too much or too little can cause serious stress. The tricky part? The symptoms can look surprisingly similar.
💧 Overwatering
When soil stays wet too long, roots lose access to oxygen. This leads to:
• Yellowing leaves (especially lower ones)
• Wilting even though the soil is wet
• Soft, mushy roots or root rot
• Increased disease pressure (fungal issues thrive in wet soil)
🌵 Underwatering
When plants don’t get enough water, they go into survival mode:
• Drooping or curling leaves
• Dry, crispy leaf edges
• Stunted growth
• Shallow, weak root systems
🌞 Why it matters
Roots need a balance of water and oxygen. Constant saturation suffocates roots, while frequent light watering trains roots to stay shallow and fragile.
✅ How to prevent both
• Water deeply, not often
• Check soil moisture before watering
• Improve drainage where needed
• Adjust irrigation with seasonal changes
• Match water needs to plant type and soil
Healthy plants start below the surface — strong roots mean resilient growth above ground. Burly’s here to remind us: it’s not just about watering… it’s about watering right.
