If a plant looks to lack vigor, growth looks stunted, flowering is poor the first question to ask is if the plant is getting all the need nutritional requirements. This goes beyond food, examine the lighting and watering.
How long have you owned the plant? If you've had the plant for over a year what did the plant look like last years at this time. This is why we keep some type of journal.
Are any pests noticeable? IF there are did the plant get them last year at this time.
NEXT Step
Does the plant have any seasonal needs or issues. Dropping of leaves, blooming, etc.
NEXT Question?
What's the age of the plant? This goes beyond how long the owner has had it in their possession. Is the plant a seedling? Seedlings, small cloned plants and cuttings may be much different than a fully grown mature plant.
NEXT
If all signs point to no problems it's time to dig deeper. Here's where I pull the plant out of the pot if it is growing in a pot. Examine the root system? Is it healthy? Are the roots actively growing? Does the plant need repotting? Is the soil compacted?
Without a healthy root system your plants are fighting an uphill battle!

If the roots look good it's probably time to pull out the magnifying glass. The magnifying glass is a plant doctors stethoscope. Getting a close up is like an x-ray. A whole new world can be found living on leaves.
Check the undersides of the leaves for critters, it's their campground. Look for spider mites, scale, mealy bugs, aphids, chewing insects and more. I recommend using neem oil as a natural pesticide for controlling plant pest.
Learning how you can diagnose any plant problems you may encounter is not that difficult. Take one step at a time - ask "What's Changed" or "What's Different" then eliminate the possibilities and throw in a dash of common sense. Soon you'll be the one giving out house plant care tips.
The new weight loss product that is touted to have made wonders for people who have been on a diet for so long but never seem to have found the right diet pills or formula is sourced from the Hoodia cactus.
Involvement in the next weight loss treasure is believed to eventually make a heap of money for the Africans that lasts forever, considering that companies are expected to shell out even more continued dollars to buy more Hoodia cactus. The South African government will also be expected to continue benefiting from this treasure supplement as companies will continue to give royalties to them into the future.
Way far inside the Kalahari desert within Africa, lives a not too pretty cactus called the Hoodia. Hoodia, actually not a cactus but a plant, grows very well in really high temperatures, and takes a long time to ripe.
The Kalahari desert South African bushmen are said to have used the Hoodia cactus to keep away hunger when hunting. Professionals say the drug sourced from the Hoodia cactus suppresses the appetite of a person who ingests it. A recently completed research shows that those who ingested the drug experienced lessened their food binge by thirty to forty percent
The human body's glucose level is increased after using this food. The increased glucose level communicates to the person's brain that his appetite is satisfied. The P57 is said to be a substance that is considered more energetic than glucose. If a simple substance like glucose can tell the brain to stop eating because it is full, imagine what a substance like P 57, which is more active than glucose, can do.
The claims made on the anti-obesity effects of the Hoodia cactus have also been investigated by correspondents of TV network BBC who traveled all the way to Africa to sample the plant.
Not like many of the other weight loss prescription drugs already on the market, the Hoodia cactus is organic and does not show any side effect to the consumer. It functions by getting the brain of a person to believe that he is not hungry.
The finding of the anti-obesity powers of the Hoodia cactus came after a routine testing by scientists. The latter found out that Hoodia contains an unknown molecule which they called P 57.
A British organization carried out a survey that revealed even more people are becoming overweight and obese. This finding has definitely increased the continued selling potential of the P 57.
Tribesmen will no doubt make more money and become millionaires many times over as the Hoodia products become more popular and new Hoodia products evolve. Success such as this should not be taken lightly. Hoodia 'cactus' plant products are the real deal for continued natural weight loss.
If you yourself want to use this effective diet supplement, you must be on guard to see that the product you receive contains pure Hoodia Extracts from South Africa as there have been many counterfeit Hoodia products available at this time.
