In our hectic daily lives, there is often little time left for the care of indoor and garden plants. Many people, especially those with stressful jobs or other time-consuming commitments, regularly forget to water, fertilize, or properly place their plants. This often leads to plants wilting, being over- or under-watered, or otherwise not receiving the necessary care. Statistics show that 37% of hobby gardeners let one or two houseplants die each year. Millennials, in particular, seem to have more problems, with about seven houseplants dying on average. Most people do not have a green thumb and lack the necessary knowledge to properly care for plants. How should one react to discolored leaves? What should be done about aphids? Or is my plant even sick? Improper care and lack of knowledge about the specific needs of plants often lead to frustration, sadness, and disappointment.
