How to care for the富贵竹 when yellow leaves appear
Main text core guide: This is an introduction to the related knowledge of how to care for the富贵竹 when yellow leaves appear and the fastest solution to the problem of yellowing leaves of green plants and flowers. Let's introduce it next.
Rich bamboo was introduced into China in the 1980s. Although there is bamboo in its name, it is far from the real bamboo. It is a perennial evergreen small tree of the Dracaena genus in the Agavaceae family. Because of its delicate stems and leaves, it looks like bamboo and is also small in size, making it suitable for keeping at home and thus very popular.
As an ornamental leaf plant, once the Rich bamboo has yellow leaves, it not only affects its shape but is also not conducive to its growth, so immediate treatment is required. However, there are many reasons for yellowing leaves, and the treatment must be tailored to the cause.
One, yellow leaves in winter
The main reason for yellowing leaves in winter is that the plant is frostbitten. It originally grows in tropical and subtropical regions and is not cold-resistant. When the temperature is lower than 10℃ in winter, the growth of the plant will be affected. If the temperature drops further, the root absorption ability will be weakened, leading to leaf yellowing.
Flower tip: Yellow leaves caused by frostbite often have yellowish-brown spots on the leaf tips and edges.
Solution: For low-temperature frostbite, first move the plant to a warm place indoors to prevent further deterioration. Then, wipe its surface with cotton, cut off the yellowing and withered leaves, wrap it with newspaper or cotton cloth, and leave a ventilation opening. This will allow the plant to recover gradually.
Two, yellow leaves in summer
Rich bamboo itself is not afraid of high temperatures, but it prefers a semi-shaded environment and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. If no shading is done in summer, and the plant is exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, the leaves will also turn yellow. It can also cause the leaves to lose water, making the growth slow.
Flower tip: Yellow leaves caused by exposure to sunlight often concentrate on the sunlit side and are more common at the top.
Solution: After Rich bamboo is sunburned, immediately move it to a shaded area to avoid further sunlight. Cut off the yellowed part without cutting off the entire leaf. Also, provide good ventilation. Once it recovers and starts growing, move it to a semi-shaded area and expose it to scattered light.
Three, hydroponic yellow leaves
After Rich bamboo has rooted in hydroponics, there is no need to change the water. If the water evaporates and decreases, just add water. Frequent water changes often make the roots adapt to the environment again, which greatly affects the plant's absorption of water and causes the leaves to dry out.
Solution: Stop changing the water for Rich bamboo, place it in a semi-shaded area, maintain good ventilation, check the water level in the container every day, and add water in a timely manner if the water is low.
Four, yellow leaves due to lack of fertilizer
Any plant's growth is inseparable from the help of fertilizer, and Rich bamboo is no exception. If it is not fertilized for a long time, the plant will grow weak, and the leaves will turn yellow.
Flower tip: Yellowing leaves caused by lack of fertilizer are often seen in new leaves.
Solution: Rich bamboo can grow throughout the year, so there are no restrictions on the timing of fertilization. If a lack of fertilizer is detected, it can be supplemented immediately. Compound fertilizer should be the main choice as it can comprehensively supplement nutrients. For hydroponics, a nutrient solution can also be added, which has good effects.
The above is the full content on how to care for Rich bamboo when yellow leaves appear and the fastest solution for yellowing leaves. I hope it can help you and also hope that everyone will visit the Green Plant Enthusiast website for more experience and common sense about green plants and flowers!
