Do your epipremnum aureum leaves turn yellow at home? Don't worry, I'll teach you "3 tricks" to make them turn lush and green easily.
Will epipremnum aureum leaves turn yellow? Of course, they will. Many flower enthusiasts have encountered this situation. In fact, yellowing epipremnum aureum leaves are not可怕. We just need to take good care of them, and it's easy to make their leaves turn back.
There are three reasons for yellowing leaves. The first is due to too strong light in our caring environment, which is the most common situation. They are very afraid of direct sunlight. Epipremnum aureum prefers scattered light. If you put it under the sun to expose to direct sunlight, especially at noon when the light is very strong, even in spring or autumn, the leaves will gradually turn yellow from the edges to the center, and eventually the entire leaf will turn yellow. This is one of the main causes of yellow leaves. Never put epipremnum aureum in direct sunlight, as it will not thrive. I can't grow epipremnum aureum well because the light in my greenhouse is too strong. Through a layer of film, the light can shine on it all day, which leads to poor growth of my epipremnum aureum, so I won't grow it in the greenhouse, but it's fine at home.
The second is due to a lack of water. Epipremnum aureum is relatively drought-tolerant. Some flower enthusiasts do not water it frequently. Once the leaves wilt due to lack of water, they recover after watering. If they wilt again and are watered again, one leaf turns yellow the first time, and a large area of leaves will turn yellow the second and third times, mainly from the bottom leaves gradually turning yellow. Remember, watering must provide enough water. The principle of watering epipremnum aureum is to water thoroughly when the potting soil is dry halfway. If your pot is small and the soil has good breathability, water thoroughly when the soil surface is dry, and this will not cause any problems. Lack of water can cause some leaves to turn yellow, and if there is a lack of water multiple times, the number of yellow leaves will gradually increase.
The third is due to a lack of fertilizer. Any plant planted in a flowerpot has limited soil and nutrients will be missing. Missing nutrients will cause yellowing leaves to occur continuously. Both new and old leaves turn yellow, mainly due to a lack of fertilizer. Because epipremnum aureum usually uses very breathable media, especially the ones we buy from the flower market, which are cultivated with coconut bran. Coconut bran has no nutrients. If we don't fertilize after keeping it for a while, the yellowing of the leaves will be very obvious, and the new leaves will become smaller and smaller, which is a main reason. Whether we grow epipremnum aureum in a greenhouse or at home, they will fertilize it regularly. Epipremnum aureum is mainly grown for its leaves, so we should choose a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content and no lack of other elements, such as "Flower More No. 10," fertilizing it 2 to 3 times a month with a moderate concentration. If you don't have this fertilizer, you can also use a multi-element fertilizer to ensure sufficient and regular supply of nutrients, which will prevent yellowing leaves.
Epipremnum aureum is very easy to care for. We don't need to spend too much time on it. Generally, as long as the potting soil is kept breathable and permeable, place it in a place with scattered light, water the soil when it is half-dry, fertilize 2 to 3 times a month with a moderate concentration, this can ensure it has enough nutrients, does not rot the roots or turn yellow, and it will soon grow into a full pot.
The above sharing on how to deal with yellowing and wilted epipremnum aureum leaves and timely remedial methods for drooping and wilted leaves provides a comprehensive explanation of the knowledge, hoping it can help you.
