As a proud owner of the grand and cozy striking houseplant Wout, it is essential to be aware of common problems and have the necessary solutions on hand. Despite the fact that Wout, a pachira aquatic plant, is an easy-to-maintain houseplant, it can encounter a number of problems that require attention. In this blog, we explore five common problems you may encounter with your Wout and provide effective solutions to keep it thriving as a beautiful houseplant.

  • Yellow leaves
Solution: Yellowed leaves can be a sign of too much or too little watering. Make sure your Wout is getting the right amount of water by checking the soil moisture regularly. Adjust your watering schedule accordingly and allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Also, make sure your Wout gets enough indirect light for healthy leaf color.
  • Hanging leaves
Solution: Hanging leaves can indicate too much or too little watering. Check the moisture content of the soil and adjust your amount of water accordingly. If the soil feels soggy, let it dry before watering again. Make sure your Wout is not exposed to drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.
  • Root rot
Solution: Root rot is often caused by overwatering and poor drainage. To prevent root rot, it is best to plant your Wout in well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes. Avoid overwatering and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. If root rot has already occurred, cut off affected roots and repot your Wout in fresh, well-draining soil.
  • Infestation by pests

Solution: Common pests that can affect your Wout are spider mites, mealybugs and aphids. Check your plant regularly for signs of pests, such as webs, small insects or sticky residue on the leaves. Treat the infestation with an appropriate insecticidal soap or neem oil. Follow the instructions carefully and treat your Wout in a well-ventilated area.

  • Lack of growth
Solution: If your Wout shows no signs of growth, it may be due to insufficient light or insufficient nutrients. Make sure your Wout is in a spot with bright, indirect light. *Do not expect your Wout to grow large amounts of inches in a short period of time.


By being aware of these common problems and their solutions, you can effectively address any problems with your Wout houseplant. Remember, your Wout is a grand and cozy eye-catcher that deserves the best care. With proper attention and proactive solutions, your Wout will continue to flourish and give your living space a natural beauty. Stay vigilant, take care of your Wout, and enjoy the rewards of a blooming and beautiful houseplant!
