Low Humidity Stress
Low humidity stress occurs when indoor air becomes too dry, causing plants to lose moisture faster than they can absorb it through their roots. This is especially common during winter heating periods, near radiators and heating vents, or in air-conditioned spaces. Tropical plants are particularly susceptible to low humidity damage.

Chemical Burn
Chemical burn (phytotoxicity) occurs when plants are damaged by misapplication or misuse of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or other chemicals. Environmental conditions like high temperatures, humidity, and plant stress increase vulnerability. Unlike diseases, chemical damage is not contagious but can severely harm or kill plants if not addressed promptly.
