【One, reasons and treatment methods for yellowing of camellia leaves】
<1, Overwatering>
When people are growing plants, they usually don't know how to water camellias properly. Therefore, they are afraid that the camellias will dry up and die from lack of water, so they often water excessively, leading to yellowing of the leaves. If it is more serious, it can even cause the plant to rot. Therefore, everyone must pay more attention during the cultivation period.
Treatment method: Stop watering first, then place it in a ventilated and shady place for a while. After it recovers somewhat, gradually resume watering, do not let water accumulate, and this will allow the camellia leaves to regain vitality.
<2, Soil quality impact>
The yellowing of camellia leaves may be caused by the soil, including the pH of the soil and the nutrients in the soil. Camellias are plants that prefer acidic soil, but in northern regions, the soil solution becomes alkaline, which can cause the leaves to turn yellow. Also, the gradual loss of nutrients in the soil can lead to insufficient nutrients and leaf discoloration.

Anthracnose is a common disease that mainly occurs on the leaves of camellias. It causes lesions on the leaves, which gradually expand as the disease progresses. In severe cases, it can cause leaf shedding and affect the entire plant, leading to its death.
Treatment method: When growing this kind of flower, red spider mites are often encountered, and the presence of these pests can lead to yellowing of the leaves. In this case, we need to eliminate these pests promptly. Spraying the leaves with a 50% trithion solution is a good choice.
