Green Luo, as a common indoor ornamental plant, is loved by many families for its unique ornamental value and air purification function. During the daily maintenance process, we might encounter the phenomenon of Green Luo leaves turning yellow, which troubles many plant enthusiasts. What should we do when the leaves of Green Luo turn yellow? This article will unveil the secrets of plant maintenance, helping your Green Luo regain its vitality.
Reasons for the Yellowing of Green Luo Leaves1. Insufficient lighting
Green Luo is a plant that prefers scattered light. If it is exposed to dark conditions for a long time, it can lead to yellowing of the leaves. When maintaining Green Luo, it should be placed in a bright indoor area, avoiding direct sunlight.
2. Improper watering
Green Luo requires a moderate amount of water. Too much or too little water can cause the leaves to turn yellow. Excessive watering can lead to water accumulation at the roots, causing root rot; insufficient watering will make the soil dry, leading to leaf dehydration. It is essential to master the frequency and amount of watering.
3. Soil problems
Green Luo prefers loose, breathable, and well-draining soil. If the soil is too compact or has poor drainage, it can cause root hypoxia, which in turn leads to yellowing of the leaves.
4. Improper application of fertilizer
Overuse of fertilizer can lead to high soil salinity, damaging the Green Luo's roots and affecting leaf growth. The application of uncomposted organic fertilizers can also cause leaf yellowing.
5. Pest and disease infestations
Green Luo may be attacked by pests such as spider mites and scale insects, which absorb nutrients from the plant and cause the leaves to turn yellow.
What to Do When Green Luo Leaves Turn Yellow1. Adjust lighting
Move Green Luo to a bright area, avoiding direct sunlight. If indoor lighting is insufficient, artificial light sources can be used appropriately for supplementation.
2. Control watering
Adjust the watering frequency based on Green Luo's growth condition, generally keeping the soil slightly moist and avoiding waterlogging.
3. Improve soil
Change to a breathable soil, such as peat or perlite, to improve soil drainage.
4. Reasonable fertilization
Apply a moderate amount of compound fertilizer, avoiding overuse, and pay attention to applying organic fertilizers, such as decomposed chicken manure or cow dung.
5. Treat pest and diseases
When pests or diseases are found, take measures promptly. For example, spray spider mites with soap water or laundry detergent water, and wipe scale insects with alcohol.
