Overwatering
What we spotted
The lower leaves yellow first and the soil is still damp from the last watering.
What to do
Let the soil dry three fingers deep before watering again, and check the pot has a hole.

Too little light
What we spotted
Stretched stem and new leaves smaller than the old ones.
What to do
Move it closer to a window, with no sun hitting the leaves directly.
How to confirm the problem
Test at home
Overwatering
Push a finger three centimetres into the soil. If it comes out damp two days after watering, the problem is too much water — not fungus.
Too little light
Look at the stem: if it stretched toward the window and the new leaf came out smaller than the old ones, it is short on light — not pests.

How to grow it
It grows in long vines. Train it up a stake or let it trail from a shelf. Cut just above a node to make it fuller.
What it stands for
Known as the money plant. In many homes it is a housewarming gift, for its reputation of taking root anywhere.

Step by step
Photograph, find out, save
01
Take the photo
Frame the whole plant, pot and leaves. One photo only — Broto asks for no angles, no close-ups and nothing else.
02
Find out
Species, care, and if something is wrong, the likely causes in order.
03
Save it
The plant joins your list with watering, light and feeding already filled in. The reminder comes on its own.
The part that changes everything
A yellow leaf never has just one cause
Watered yesterday and turning yellow means too much water. Two weeks dry and turning yellow means the opposite.
Same symptom, opposite cause. So Broto never gives one verdict: it ranks the causes and hands you the test that settles it.
Reminders
A reminder that never becomes spam
One reminder per plant, at the time you pick for each task. It says her name and what she needs today.
Late? It reminds you again. No “tip of the day”, no streak counter.
Brotinho
For when the doubt sticks around
It already knows your plants. Just ask, without explaining again which species it is and when you watered it.

Answers questions about your plants
Good afternoon. How can I help you?
Can I keep the pothos in the bathroom?
You can. It likes the humidity, but it needs indirect light — if the bathroom has no window it will stretch out and drop leaves.
What about the yellow leaves at the bottom?
The odd bottom leaf going yellow is normal. Several at once usually means too much water — put a finger in the soil before you water again.
