# Indoor Plant Care Overview

## Care loop
Indoor plant care is a feedback loop: observe the plant, check the growing medium, adjust water and light, then watch the newest leaves. Start with [[Watering]], [[Light Requirements]], and [[Pest Identification]].

## Fast triage
Wilting with wet soil points toward root stress. Pale stretching growth points toward insufficient light. Sticky residue or webbing should trigger pest inspection.
