Should I fertilise a sad plant?

No until it is stable and pushing growth. Feeding a stressed root system often makes things worse.

Why your indoor plant dies in two weeks — India edition

Ready to stock your garden?

Overwatering in glazed pots with poor drainage—roots suffocate before you see mush above soil.

Too little light for the species you bought; “indoor” still needs a real window band.

AC drafts and dry air plus erratic watering—edges crisp, people water more, rot follows.

Check drainage holes and saucer stagnation.

Move to stable bright indirect light for two weeks—no repotting theatre.

Water on dryness tests, not calendar guilt.
