I woke up last Tuesday, looked at "Percy" (my beloved Monstera), and almost dropped my coffee mug. ☕️ One of his huge, beautiful leaves had turned... yellow. Like, school bus yellow. I instantly went into panic mode. Was he dying? Did I look at him wrong? Did he hate the playlist I played yesterday? 😱 If you’re reading this, you’re probably freaking out too.

Let’s figure out what’s going on so you don't make the same mistakes I did. 🌿 Decoding the Yellow: What Is Your Plant Saying? 1.

Okay, not really, but I did fry a succulent so bad it looked like a piece of charcoal. 😱 I used to think I had a "black thumb" and that every green thing I touched was doomed. But guess what? I just hadn't found the right roommates yet. If you're tired of seeing yellow leaves and empty pots, these three plants are going to change your life. They are basically the "immortals" of the plant world! My Top 3 "Unkillable" Green Besties The Snake Plant: The Ultimate Survivor Honestly, the Snake Plant should be the mascot for busy people everywhere.
