Reasons for yellowing leaves1. Insufficient light
Plants need sufficient light for photosynthesis to produce nutrients. If there is not enough light, plants cannot grow normally, and the leaves will turn yellow.
2. Excessive or insufficient water
Water is an important condition for plant growth. If watering is excessive, it can lead to root hypoxia and yellowing leaves; if watering is too little, the plant will have yellow leaves due to lack of water.
3. Soil problems
The pH and fertility of the soil will affect the growth of the plant. If the soil is too poor or the pH is not suitable, the plant's leaves will turn yellow.
4. Improper application of fertilizer
Excessive application of fertilizer can damage the plant's roots, which in turn affects leaf growth; insufficient application of fertilizer also prevents the plant from growing normally.
5. Diseases and pests
Diseases and pests are one of the main reasons for yellowing leaves in plants, such as powdery mildew, aphids, etc., which can cause plant leaves to turn yellow.
Maintenance tips1. Adjust light
Adjust the light time according to the plant's needs, such as orchids requiring a semi-shaded environment, Epipremnum aureum requiring scattered light, Viola requiring sufficient light, etc.
2. Control watering
Control watering reasonably according to the plant's growth habits to avoid excessive or insufficient watering, which can cause yellowing leaves.
3. Improve soil
Regularly replace the soil to ensure that it is fertile and breathable. For acidic soil, add lime, etc., to adjust the soil pH.
4. Reasonable fertilization
Apply fertilizer according to the plant's growth needs, avoid excessive fertilization, and prevent root damage.
5. Prevent diseases and pests
Regularly inspect the plant, and if diseases and pests are found, control them in a timely manner. You can use insecticides, fungicides, etc., and pay attention to ventilation to reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests.
