Indoor plants can die for several reasons, often due to improper care. Overwatering is a common issue—plants like peace lilies are prone to root rot if kept in soggy soil, leading to yellow leaves and eventual death. Lack of light can also weaken plants; for example, fiddle leaf figs need bright, indirect light, and insufficient lighting can stunt their growth and cause leaf drop. Pests, such as spider mites, and poor drainage also contribute to plant death. Understanding and meeting the specific needs of each plant—water, light, soil—can help prevent these issues and keep them thriving.
