With the arrival of summer, the sun is bright and everything is growing. In this vibrant season, the leaves of some Happy Trees begin to turn yellow, making the once vigorous courtyard seem a bit regrettable. Why do the leaves of Happy Trees turn yellow in summer? How should we deal with this phenomenon? This article will provide you with detailed answers.

Reasons for the yellowing of Happy Tree leaves in summer

1. Insufficient water

In the hot summer, water evaporates quickly. If watering is not timely, the Happy Tree will turn yellow due to lack of water, and excessive watering can also cause root hypoxia, leading to yellowing of leaves.

2. Insufficient light

Happy Trees enjoy sunlight. If they are in a dark environment for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow due to insufficient photosynthesis.

3. Soil problems

Factors such as soil compaction, poor drainage, and insufficient fertility can cause the leaves of Happy Trees to turn yellow.

4. Pest and disease attacks

Happy Trees are prone to pest and disease attacks, such as aphids and red spiders. These pests and diseases can cause leaves to turn yellow and wilt.

Methods to deal with the yellowing of Happy Tree leaves in summer

1. Watering appropriately

According to the growth habits of Happy Trees, the soil should be kept moist in summer but not waterlogged. Generally, watering once a day is sufficient. If the leaves turn yellow, the watering frequency can be increased appropriately.

2. Increasing light appropriately

Place the Happy Tree in a sunny area, ensuring it receives at least 4 hours of direct sunlight every day. If kept indoors, the Happy Tree can be moved to the balcony or outdoors regularly for sunlight.

3. Improving the soil

Change the soil regularly to keep it loose and breathable. Materials such as decomposed leaf soil and perlite can be added to improve soil fertility and drainage.

4. Preventing and treating pests and diseases

Regularly inspect the Happy Tree, and deal with pests and diseases in a timely manner. Pesticides and fungicides can be used for prevention and treatment, while also ensuring ventilation and air circulation.

5. Fertilizing

Summer is the peak growing season for Happy Trees. The frequency of fertilization can be increased appropriately, using compound fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, fertilizing once a month.

There are various reasons for the yellowing of Happy Tree leaves in summer, but as long as we understand their growth habits and take appropriate care measures, we can help the Happy Tree survive the hot summer and recover its vitality. I hope this article can provide help for your Happy Tree maintenance.
