Nowadays, many people keep a pot of Fortune Tree at home. Firstly, the Fortune Tree has a good meaning, and it can be appreciated as well as purify the air when placed at home, but there are skills to growing a Fortune Tree. If you are growing it for the first time, the leaves may turn yellow. What we are going to talk about today is what to do when the leaves of the Fortune Tree turn yellow?
The yellowing of the tip of the Fortune Tree is usually caused by improper watering and unsuitable lighting. When kept indoors for too long, the Fortune Tree may show dull color and yellowing veins, at which point it needs to be exposed to sunlight. The Fortune Tree likes sunlight but is not tolerant of strong direct sunlight, and it is best to have semi-shady or scattered light, except for winter when it requires better lighting conditions to grow well. Starting from late April, you can choose a sunny and warm noon, move the pot outdoors or to the balcony, and expose it directly to sunlight for 1-2 hours, gradually increasing the duration, which will have a good cultivation effect. Long-term exposure to shady or dark conditions can lead to yellowing leaves and leaf drop, and in severe cases, it may even cause the plant to wither.
The Fortune Tree prefers a warm and humid climate, with the potting soil kept moist, but generally, it is not watered indoors unless the soil is dry, and when watered, it should be thoroughly watered. Since the Fortune Tree does not require much water, not watering for a week will not cause the leaves to turn yellow or wilt, but it is necessary to mist the leaves frequently and clean the leaf surface dirt. If the watering is not thorough, with the top wet and the bottom dry, it will affect nutrient absorption, resulting in dull and lackluster leaf color, and gradually cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall from the bottom up.
If fertilizing too much by mistake, not only will it not grow well, it may burn the roots and stems, causing yellow leaves. Fertilization for the Fortune Tree should follow the principle of "frequent application of light fertilizer." Organic fertilizer or phosphorus-potassium fertilizer can be applied to the soil once a month. Avoid excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season to prevent luxurious growth. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied evenly to promote healthy plant growth.
Similarly, insufficient fertilizer, low fertilizer concentration, and long intervals between fertilization can also cause leaf yellowing. If such symptoms are seen and fertilization is not carried out in time, it can lead to yellowing leaves throughout the plant or even death. For plants lacking fertilizer, avoid applying a large amount of concentrated fertilizer at once to prevent root burn.
Finally, woody flowers grown in greenhouses often show yellowing leaves due to the significant changes in soil fertility conditions, which is iron deficiency yellowing. This can be resolved by applying a ferric sulfate solution.
