Underwatering
Water deficiency occurs when a plant cannot absorb enough moisture to meet its transpiration and metabolic demands. Also known as drought stress or underwatering, this condition deprives cells of turgor pressure, leading to wilting, leaf scorch, and — if prolonged — permanent root and tissue damage. It is one of the most common causes of houseplant decline and is fully reversible when caught early.
