How do you fix "this plant looks unhealthy" as botanist?

Nowhere in the wiki does it even mention it.

forgot to mention Im injecting them often with the mutation chemical

Certain plants have special temperature and/or atmospheric pressure requirements. Even if you don't see the low/high pressure icon in your HUD, the room's pressure may be too high or too low, so check the environmental monitor.
When you're playing as botanist, it's a good idea to frequently check it, even if the plants look fine.

How do I fix the temp?

Space heater, cargo can buy some for really cheap or science can make em

probably the death gene. either add 5u phalanxamine and some dylovene to counter phal's less desirable effects, or uproot it and plant a new one

there are other possible causes, but if you're mutating your plants this is the one you're most likely to run into on a regular basis

viable gene(death gene) , having bad temperatur/bad pressure , overaged ect causes every 15 sec dmg , plant naturally regenerate some hp but its very low . there some chemicals that heal plant hp quickly including vitamin 1.5 hp per unit , dylovene 1 hp + removes toxins caused from phalaxmine/weedkiller , nutriment/pumpkinflesh 0.75 hp per unit and cryoxodone 4 hp per unit but also causes the plant to deage ( its mostly use to deage from overaged or reverse back to seedling if its unclipable) usually botanist make basic 50 potency cocoa which contains 2-3 nutriments and 2 vitamins and composting this will make the plant heal slowly because of the chemicals , usually you ignore temp/pressure mutation and just counter heal it or do it again , or crossbreed the bad tolerances out , if your plant starts to get the first red dot on the tray while mutatng it a bit it indicates its half live aka this plant looks unhealthy , as mentiond above its a good indicator the plant hit the death gene and is constantly degrading so it needs some phalaxmine to remove that bad gene (can also crossbreed it out or overwrite with other plants genes but phalaxmine is just easier), aswell as those chemicals i wrote above dylovene works very well but chemist wont give it always to you so its a good option to grow some composting fruits (the cocoa one is just a basic one mentions there more effective ones but that requires extra crossbreeding to get the results but it also will help then feeding the biogenerator or for other purposes)

COMPOSTING raises health variable, keep a bunch of high potency fruits that dont have anything good and spam into unhealthies
