Plant Growth Problem Home Remedies: House plants not only purify the air but also give peace to the mind.

The good thing is that plant growth can be restarted with some easy home remedies.
Main reasons for stoppage of plant growth
The biggest reason for plant growth to stop is lack of nutrients in the soil. Additionally, overwatering or underwatering, lack of sunlight, poor drainage, and keeping the plant in the same pot for too long can also stunt growth. Sometimes, insects or fungal infections can weaken the plant, stunting its growth.
Adequate sunlight and water are essential
Every plant needs the right amount of sunlight. Some plants like direct sunlight, while others like partial sunlight. If a plant remains in continuous shade, its growth may be stunted. Similarly, excess water can cause root rot. Try to water only when the soil is dry, and make sure the pot has drainage holes.
