I Added Fertilizer and My Plant Got Worse

Strong fertilizer can burn stressed roots or push weak leafy growth before roots recover.

What to do now

Flush salts if soil is overfed.
Pause feeding until new growth appears.
Use compost before strong fertilizer.
Feed lightly after watering, not on dry roots.
