The fortune tree, as a popular indoor green plant in recent years, is loved by people for its unique shape and auspicious meaning. In the process of maintenance, many flower friends will encounter a problem: the leaves of the fortune tree are pale. This article will focus on this issue, analyze the causes, and propose corresponding solutions to help solve this problem.
Reasons for the Pale Color of Fortune Tree Leaves1. Insufficient lighting
The fortune tree prefers a sunny environment. Long-term exposure to dark places can lead to pale leaves, and overly strong indoor lighting can also cause leaves to turn yellow.
2. Improper watering
Watering is a key step in the maintenance of fortune trees. Too much or too little watering can lead to pale leaves. Excessive watering can cause root rot, while insufficient watering will make the plant lack water, affecting the leaf color.
3. Soil problems
Soil is the foundation for the growth of fortune trees. Soil that is too compact, has poor drainage, or poor breathability can lead to pale leaves on the fortune tree.
4. Pest and disease attacks
The pale color of the fortune tree leaves may also be caused by pests and diseases, such as red spiders and scale insects, which can cause leaves to turn yellow and fall off.
Solutions for the Pale Color of Fortune Tree Leaves1. Adjust lighting
Place the fortune tree in a sunny area and avoid long-term exposure to dark places. If indoor lighting is insufficient, artificial light sources can be used to supplement appropriately.
2. Control watering
According to the growth habits of fortune trees, keep the soil moist. In the hot summer season, water once a day; in the cold winter season, water every 2-3 days.
3. Improve soil
Change to well-ventilated soil, such as peat soil and perlite, and add organic fertilizers appropriately to enhance soil fertility.
4. Control pests and diseases
Regularly inspect the fortune tree and take measures in a timely manner when pests and diseases are found. For red spiders, insecticides can be sprayed; for scale insects, a soft cloth can be used to wipe them off.
There are various reasons for the pale color of fortune tree leaves, and there are also diverse solutions.
