Jasmine, as a traditional ornamental plant in our country, is deeply loved by people for its elegant fragrance and beautiful posture. In the process of daily maintenance, many flower friends will find that the leaves of jasmine are dry and yellow, which not only affects the ornamental value of jasmine but may also threaten its growth and health. This article will provide a detailed analysis of the reasons for the drying and yellowing of jasmine leaves and the prevention and control methods to help flower friends better take care of jasmine.
Reasons for the drying and yellowing of茉莉花 leaves1. Improper watering
Jasmine prefers a humid environment but is afraid of waterlogging. Too much or too little watering can lead to dry and yellow leaves. Excessive watering can cause root hypoxia, which in turn affects the leaves' absorption of nutrients; insufficient watering will make the soil dry and the leaves lose water.
2. Improper fertilization
Too much or too little fertilization will affect the growth of jasmine. Excessive fertilization may lead to high soil salinity, causing the leaves to scorch; insufficient fertilization will prevent jasmine from obtaining enough nutrients, causing the leaves to wither gradually.
3. Insufficient light
Jasmine enjoys sunlight. If it is kept in a dark environment for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow due to lack of light.
4. Pest and disease attacks
Jasmine is easily invaded by pests such as aphids and red spiders. These pests extract the sap from jasmine leaves, leading to dry and yellow leaves.
5. Environmental factors
Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity will also affect the growth of jasmine. Conditions that are too high or too low in temperature, or too high or too low in humidity, can lead to dry and yellow leaves.
Prevention and control methods for the drying and yellowing of茉莉花 leaves1. Control watering
Adjust the watering frequency according to the growth habits of jasmine, generally keeping the soil slightly moist and avoiding waterlogging.
2. Reasonable fertilization
Choose the appropriate fertilizer based on the growth stage of jasmine. During the vigorous growth period, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to promote branch and leaf growth; during the flowering period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be used to improve flowering quality.
3. Increase sunlight
Place jasmine in a sunny location, ensuring it receives at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily.
4. Prevent and control pests and diseases
Regularly inspect jasmine and take timely measures when pests and diseases are found, such as using insecticides or fungicides for prevention and control.
5. Adjust the environment
Adjust the indoor temperature and humidity according to the growth needs of jasmine, keeping the temperature between 20°C and 30°C and the humidity between 60% and 80%.
