LEGGY OR SPARSE GROWTH
This is a pretty clear indicator that your plant is not getting
enough natural light. Reposition it in a spot with brighter
light or a longer period of light exposure.

LOPSIDED GROWTH
More obvious in some plant species than others, this is
more of an aesthetic issue rather than one that can cause
your plant any major damage. The fiddle-leaf fig (Ficus
Lyrata), in particular, can get very lopsided unless regularly
rotated so that all sides of the plant get exposure to the
brightest part of a room. Try and rotate your plants little
by little each time you water them. R

PRIME POSITION
The absolute best way to ensure
a happy and healthy indoor plant
is to make sure it will get the light
it needs to thrive.
