Overwatering
Overwatering occurs when plants receive too much water, depriving roots of oxygen and causing root rot. This environmental stress is one of the most common causes of houseplant death, as waterlogged soil prevents roots from breathing and functioning properly.

Soil pH Imbalance
Soil pH imbalance occurs when soil becomes too acidic (low pH < 6.0) or too alkaline (high pH > 7.5), preventing plants from absorbing essential nutrients. The ideal pH range for most plants is 6.5-7.5. When pH is outside this range, nutrients become chemically locked in the soil, leading to deficiency symptoms even when nutrients are present.
