What to Do When the Leaves of Baby's Breath Turn Yellow
As a popular ornamental plant beloved by flower enthusiasts, the issue of yellowing leaves in Baby's Breath troubles many growers. This article provides systematic solutions for different causes, using three core care points to help your plants regain their vitality.
Physiological Yellow Leaf Treatment Plan
Natural Metabolism Replacement
The periodic yellowing of bottom old leaves is a normal metabolic phenomenon. It is recommended to clean up 1-2 times per month of aging leaves. After pruning, apply a diluted 2000-fold nitrogen-containing water-soluble fertilizer (such as Flower多多1) every 15 days to promote the germination of new leaves.
Environmental Factor Response Strategy
Double Protection of High Light and High Temperature
In summer, it is necessary to set up a 50% shading net to maintain an environmental temperature of ≤30°C. Use the ceramsite mulching method to lower the soil temperature, and配合 foliar spraying in the morning and evening (avoiding noon) to maintain humidity.
Scientific Water Control Key Techniques
Use the 'Fingertip Detection Method': insert the index finger into the soil 2cm, and if there is no moisture, water can be watered. It is recommended to use a long-spout watering pot to slowly pour water along the edge of the pot until water seeps out from the bottom hole.
Root Care Special Tips
Substrate Improvement Plan
Change to a special nutrient soil containing 30% perlite every spring, and pair it with a green mountain pot to enhance breathability. If root rot is found, immediately soak the pot in a 800-fold solution of carbendazim for disinfection.
By systematically investigating environmental factors, precisely adjusting the care methods, and combining regular observation and recording, more than 90% of yellow leaf issues can be effectively improved. It is recommended to establish a care log, recording temperature and humidity changes and the plant's condition to gradually master the growth patterns of Baby's Breath.
