Q: If your plant's leaves are shriveled up, then you may not be watering your plant enough. You may also notice that many of the leaves are falling off of the plant if this is the case. Take a handful of dirt from a few inches below the surface, and squeeze it in your hand. If the soil clumps together and stains your skin, the soil is very moist. You may be overwatering. If the soil falls apart without staining your skin, the soil is dry. You may need to water more. If your plant is very wilted and droopy, it might be unhealthy as a result of over-watering. Another way to tell this is by feeling the soil just below the surface. If it's very damp, then you may be giving your plant too much water. Over-watering keeps the soil continuously moist and prevents your plant from getting enough oxygen. This can cause root rot. Carefully remove your plant from the ground or its pot and observe the roots. If they're dark, mushy, and fall apart when you touch them, your plant probably has root rot. Discolored patches often form on the leaves of plants that have been exposed to too much sunlight. These patches are typically either very dark or very light in color. Your plant may be struggling because it's not getting enough sunlight. If this is the case, then the leaves are most likely much paler and smaller than they use to be. Different types of plants need to be cared for in different ways. While herbs and vegetables thrive when they're exposed to a lot of sunlight, excessive sun causes issues for ferns. Either go online or head to a local nursery to find care information specific to your plant.
A: Identify under-watering by shriveled leaves. Touch the soil to determine moisture level. Identify over-watering by dampness and droopiness. Check the roots for root rot. Recognize scorched plants by dark and/or bleached patches. Recognize overly shaded plants by their pale leaves. Look up care information for your plant.

Problem: Article: Use your phone’s settings to help you avoid contact with your ex. For example, you can change your ex’s name in your address book to “DO NOT ANSWER” to remind you what you must do. Some phones or services will also allow you to block a particular number entirely. If you must talk to your ex, keep the communication brief but friendly. Never flirt, however tempting it may seem. If you start to repeat old arguments or bad patterns, end the conversation immediately: say, “I’m sorry, this conversation isn’t going well. I need to end it.” Working together closely in class, being assigned to the same project, or getting put at the same work table could derail your effort to avoid your ex. You may need to ask others at school or work for help to avoid these situations. For example, you might explain to a teacher that you would prefer not to do a group project with your ex. Or, you could ask your guidance counselor for help in arranging your schedule so that you are not in class with your ex. If you don’t run into your ex, you won’t accidentally start speaking with him. And you won’t see him flirting with someone else, either.  If you are in school together, use your knowledge of his schedule to avoid crossing paths in the hallway or by the lockers. Avoid visiting his workplace. For example, if he works for a café, get your hot drinks somewhere else now. Don’t go to his favorite hangouts or to his events. If your ex plays basketball, don’t go to those games. If he always took you bowling, don’t go bowling for a while. Don’t keep socializing with your ex just because you have mutual friends.  Respect that your friends might want to remain friends with both of you. While it can be tempting to try to convince everyone to side with you, it’s not healthy. It may be helpful to talk through different scenarios with your friends. For example, you might say: “I don’t feel comfortable continuing our movie nights as a small group right now. But, if you throw a big party, it’s ok to invite both of us.” Recognize that your needs will change over time. Keep your friends up to date: if it’s ok to invite you both to a dinner party now, say so. Leave his friends to him. Just as you need the support of your friends and family as you navigate the break-up, so does your ex. Let your ex rely on his own network of friends and family.
Summary: Don’t call or text. Keep any contact short and sweet. Ask teachers, bosses, or coworkers for help in limiting your exposure to your ex. Plan your schedule to avoid awkward encounters. Keep in contact with mutual friends, but make your boundaries clear.
