Changshou flowers are deeply loved by flower enthusiasts for their long blooming period, rich colors, and symbolize longevity. During the maintenance process, many flower enthusiasts find that the leaves of Changshou flowers turn yellow during the blooming period, which not only affects the ornamental effect but may also affect the growth of Changshou flowers. What should be done if the leaves of Changshou flowers turn yellow during the blooming period? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the reasons and solutions.
Reasons for the yellowing of leaves during the blooming period of Changshou flowers1. Improper water management
Changshou flowers prefer semi-shade and are not tolerant of waterlogging. Excessive or insufficient watering can lead to yellowing of the leaves. Excessive watering can cause root hypoxia, affecting the absorption of nutrients by the roots; insufficient watering will make the soil dry, causing the leaves to wither.
2. Insufficient sunlight
Changshou flowers enjoy sunlight but require appropriate shading during the blooming period. Insufficient sunlight can lead to slow plant growth and yellowing of the leaves.
3. Soil problems
Soil that is too poor or has poor drainage will affect the growth of Changshou flowers. Poor soil fertility can lead to insufficient nutrients, causing yellowing of the leaves; poor drainage can cause root hypoxia, leading to the same problem.
4. Diseases and pests
Diseases and pests are also one of the reasons for the yellowing of Changshou flower leaves. For example, red spiders and scale insects will absorb nutrients from the plant, leading to yellowing of the leaves.
