Identify and Fix Problems of Your Plant

All plants eventually have some type of problem. Identifying the disease or insect pest is the first step to correcting sick plants. Once you know what the bug or disease is, you can usually cure the problem. Let us try to find many of the most common plant problems and easy and least toxic solutions to making your plant healthy.

Plant Diseases
There will always be disease problems in your garden; it’s part of nature. The trick is to catch the problem early, before it spreads. Some problems will disappear with better weather, and others will need intervention on your part. If you find you have the same disease problems in your garden year after year, consider growing disease-resistant varieties.

Sometimes a plant is sick, not because of insects or disease, but because it’s not getting the food it needs to grow. Plants will usually signal their nutrient deficiencies with specific symptoms, like yellow veins or pale leaves. Once you diagnose the problem, you need to find the right type of fertilizer to bring the plant back to health.
