The八宝 tree is susceptible to pests such as aphids and red spiders, and can also be infected with leaf spot and anthracnose diseases, which can cause the leaves to turn yellow.

2. Appropriate increase in lighting
Place the八宝 tree in a location with ample scattered light and avoid long-term exposure to dim conditions. If possible, you can increase artificial lighting.
3. Improve the soil
Regularly change the soil to keep it loose and well-draining. You can add decomposed leaf soil and perlite to improve the soil structure and increase soil fertility.
4. Check for pests and diseases
