Reasons for Yellowing of Flower Leaves1. Insufficient Watering: Long-term lack of water in flowers can cause leaves to turn yellow, as insufficient water cannot meet the growth needs of the flowers.
2. Waterlogging: Accumulation of water at the roots of flowers leads to oxygen deficiency, affecting nutrient absorption and causing the leaves to turn yellow.
3. Insufficient Light: Flowers kept in dark environments for long periods cannot perform photosynthesis sufficiently, leading to yellowing of the leaves.
4. Improper Fertilization: Overuse or improper use of fertilizer can damage the flower's roots, causing the leaves to turn yellow.
5. Diseases and Pests: Diseases and pests such as aphids and red spiders can cause the leaves of flowers to turn yellow.
6. Soil Problems: Soil compaction, inappropriate pH levels, and other issues can cause the leaves of flowers to turn yellow.
Remedial Measures for Yellowing of Flower Leaves1. Appropriate Watering: Water flowers according to their habits, keeping the soil moist while avoiding waterlogging to prevent root oxygen deficiency.
2. Improve Lighting: Move flowers to a place with sufficient light, ensuring at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day.
3. Rational Fertilization: Choose appropriate fertilizers based on the habits of the flowers and apply them moderately to avoid over-fertilization, which can cause fertilizer damage.
4. Treat Diseases and Pests: When diseases and pests are found, take corresponding measures in a timely manner, such as spraying insecticides or pruning diseased leaves.
5. Improve Soil: Regularly change the soil to keep it loose and breathable, and if necessary, apply organic fertilizers to improve the soil structure.
6. Pruning: For yellowing leaves caused by diseases and pests or excessive growth density, appropriate pruning can be done to remove weak and diseased branches and leaves, promoting healthy plant growth.
There are many reasons for the yellowing of flower leaves, but as long as the cause is identified and appropriate remedial measures are taken, it is easy to rescue green plants.
