What to do when the leaves of the Happy Tree turn yellow?
Sharing knowledge about growing the Happy Tree at home, what to do when the leaves of the Happy Tree turn yellow? Here is a comprehensive introduction.
The Happy Tree has a graceful shape, small and green leaves, and a graceful shadow. It is a very precious indoor ornamental plant. It is named after people's expectations of happiness, wealth, and safety. Aliases: Pepper Tree,骨折凉伞 (Fracture Cool Umbrella), Mountain Bean Tree, Kylin Purple Trumpet, and Safe Tree (merchant name). The Happy Tree is the representative tree of Hawaii. Because people believe it can bring happiness, many people place it in front of their homes.
Flower friends who buy Happy Trees at the flower market often find that the leaves are green and healthy when they first buy them, but after a few days, they notice that the bottom leaves are turning yellow and the situation seems to be worsening; or after repotting, it seems fine at first, but after a while, the leaves at the bottom start to turn yellow and fall off, and the small branches break off easily. What exactly causes the leaves to turn yellow? This includes, but is not limited to, the following reasons:
1. The Happy Tree might not have roots, as the seller may have just sawed it and put it in the pot (this often happens with street vendors).
2. Most plants bought from the flower market do this because of sudden environmental changes, as the temperature, humidity, and light at home differ greatly from those in the greenhouse, or because the roots were damaged during repotting and need to recover, leading to yellow leaves.
3. The excessive leaf drop of the Happy Tree may be related to watering, as if the plant's roots are damaged in overly dry soil, and then a large amount of water is poured in, it can cause suffocation to the already damaged roots, impeding their breathing and further damaging them, affecting absorption and leading to excessive leaf drop.
4. Poor ventilation and air dryness can cause the leaf tips to turn yellow; spraying 2 to 3 times of water on the leaves daily can effectively prevent the new leaves from having yellow tips.
5. It might be due to the plant being in too dark of an environment with insufficient light, so it can be placed in a brighter area, and in temperatures below 20°C, it should be in full sunlight.
6. Is the amount of fertilizer too large, or is the organic fertilizer used decomposed?
Some small experiences in raising the Happy Tree:
