Here is a sample of the latest report

Some plants are described as easy care or impossible to kill, but one can still have issues with them… “watering issues.” While it may be tempting to give your plant a ton to drink, too much water is the leading cause of early plant death. The great thing about plants, however; is that they show us early warning signs when they are not being treated properly.  This report highlights some of the warning signs of under or over watering and what you can do to avoid it.
