What are the signs of overwatering in houseplants

Sure! Here are five signs that your houseplants might be getting too much water:

**Yellow Leaves**: If you notice the leaves turning yellow, especially the lower ones, it could be a sign of overwatering.

**Wilting**: Ironically, overwatered plants can also look wilted. If your plant looks droopy even after a good watering, it might be drowning.

**Root Rot**: If you pull the plant out of the pot and see mushy, dark roots, that’s a clear sign of root rot from too much water.

**Mold or Fungus**: If you see mold growing on the soil surface or around the pot, that’s a big red flag that you’re overwatering.
