What is going on when the leaves of the peace linden turn yellow?
Do you know about this? In the content of the Flower Clinic about peace linden, what is going on when the leaves of the peace linden turn yellow? If there is any mistake, please correct me! The yellowing of the leaves of the peace linden has become a popular trend. Most of the flower friends who raise peace linden have encountered the problem of yellowing leaves, and many of them do not know what is going on. There is a lot of information online about soil, water, and fertilizer, which seems to be the case, but the actual situation is different. This article analyzes from the perspective of flower friends.
The peace linden is a large ornamental leaf pot plant. Most of the peace lindens owned by flower friends are bought from local flower markets, with beautiful pots, green leaves, and auspicious names. Within a few days to a couple of weeks after bringing them home, either the leaves become wilted or turn yellow, and leaves fall off, which is really frustrating.
Let's talk about the yellowing of the leaves of the peace linden. What I say may not match the actual situation of the flower friends, so please investigate the situation and do not operate blindly (I have seen some flower friends, upon seeing the leaves turn yellow, pour vinegar, apply fertilizer, and water excessively). This is completely chaotic.
1. There are tricks in the pot: Some flower friends have reported that many deep pots that come with the plant are propped up with foam at the bottom, actually with just a little soil on top. I have seen this situation on other potted plants as well. The vendors do this to save soil, but the result is that after watering and fertilizing, the peace linden looks good for only two days and then wilts again. It is recommended that flower friends change pots as soon as possible after buying, and if possible, have the vendor change the pot for inspection.
2. Tricks when potting: Vendors do not usually keep peace lindens in pots. They are usually grown in the ground and only potted when they are sold. If they are not sold, they are sent back to the greenhouse. Therefore, the plants bought by flower friends have been through a lot and may be very weak. The key is to check carefully when buying. You can also see some information from the potting soil. If the potting soil looks new, it is likely just potted.
3. Improper care: The peace linden should be maintained in a well-lit, ventilated environment, and the pot should not accumulate water. Since many peace lindens are large potted plants, they are often paired with deep pots. After watering, the bottom of these pots does not dry out for a long time, and flower friends confidently continue to water, leading to yellowing leaves and leaf drop. Once waterlogging occurs, it is difficult to save the plant. Remember this.
4. Normal acclimatization: Because of the constant moving from the greenhouse to the flower market to the flower friend's home, possibly even changing pots, there is a saying that 'people move and live, trees move and die.' Moving affects plants a lot. After buying, flower friends must choose a suitable place based on the habits of the peace linden and avoid moving it around. Don't water excessively today because you think it's lacking water, and wait for such operations, as this will only kill the plant.
Although the above four points are not detailed, they basically cover the reasons for the yellowing of the leaves of the peace linden. As for the yellowing caused by fertilizer, most flower friends' peace lindens have problems in the initial period after buying. Those that can be kept for a year and a half usually understand their habits and rarely encounter such problems.
The above sharing on why the leaves of the peace linden turn yellow is hoped to bring you some help. Don't forget to check out more flower care experience and knowledge!
