If you've gotten houseplants before, but they have become droopy, saggy, sad, any sort of

dejected adjective, then it's probably a lighting problem, I would say it's either that

or it's watering, and I'm curious what you actually see as the more common problem there,

but today's episode is about how to figure out what you're looking at with indoor lighting,

and if you actually need to upgrade your lights. So when you come into like a client's house, Kelly,

that's got to be the first thing you do, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, we do a big light on it. And it's

funny, your question there, whether you see lighting be an issue or watering. I actually think

most watering issues are a lighting issue as well. And by that, I mean that if you're watering your

plant and things are happening like you get something that's common, which is called root rot,

and that usually stems from your media, your soil, not drying out really quickly at all or staying

really saturated for a long time. A lot of the time, that is because your plant is not getting enough

light. And when plants get enough light, they photosynthesize a lot, and then they drink more.

They're just thirstier. They're basically exercising. So when you're not getting any exercise,

you're not drinking. And so the only way that soil is really drying out is by evaporation,

and depending on where you live, like here, it's typical for my room humidity to be around 60%.

So I'm not going to be getting that much evaporation out of the media. So I really need to make sure

that, and for my clients, that we're on the same, like the game plan is good, that the plants are

receiving adequate light at all times. Yeah, that's kind of a counter-intuitive one that people,

I mean, really even in outdoor edibles, it's the same thing. It's like if the plant's not getting

the light source strength that it needs, then it's not going to be using the resources that you're

giving it, namely water and fertilizer. Right? And so that does cause the downstream effect of

the water and fertilizing problems, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the first thing we usually do
