How does gardener recognize death?

A gardener recognizes death in plants by observing several signs, such as wilting leaves, discoloration, and a lack of new growth. An absence of signs of life, such as blooming or healthy foliage, often indicates that a plant has died. Additionally, a gardener may notice a soft or mushy texture in stems or roots, which can be a sign of rot or decay. Regular inspection and knowledge of the specific plant's needs are crucial for identifying these signs early.
