Thank you for your info.

Well, my plants are Folliage they were on their original pots when the plants were small, but now that they're bigger we have put them on a bigger pot, I think the pot is 10 inches; we've also mixed the soil to add new soil for the new pot; we water them about once or twice a week, depending on the heat, moderate light as required, and we rotate them once a week. I have a well system, so maybe the water may be a bit hard... what can you tell me?

thanks again for the info.

Answer
Hi Yaya,

To really help you, I have to know what species of plant you have. "Foliage plant" is a general term that is not helpful. Please understand that each species of plant has its own unique requirements as far as light, water, pot size, soil type, etc. Try to find out what kind of plants you have.

Repotting into larger pots usually leads to root rot, so that may be part of the problem. Well water is often on the hard side that is also contributing to the problem - switch to filtered, distilled, or rainwater.
