What to do if the leaves of the pineapple flower turn yellow
This article introduces what to do if the leaves of the pineapple flower turn yellow and the reasons for yellowing leaves and solutions for related green plants and flowers. Next, the editor will introduce to everyone.
The pineapple flower is also known as ornamental pineapple,菠萝花 (pineapple flower), etc., and is native to the jungles from Mexico to the southern part of Brazil and the northern part of Argentina. It is a well-known festival flower. Many flower enthusiasts find that the leaves of the pineapple they bought turn yellow after keeping it at home for a while, not knowing what's wrong with the pineapple. Let's take a look at what to do if the leaves of the pineapple flower turn yellow.
Overwatering
Overwatering, with the potting soil being too moist for a long time, causes soil hypoxia, leading to the rotting of some fibrous roots, which hinders normal respiration and the absorption of water and nutrients, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Initially, the young leaves turn light yellow, followed by the old leaves gradually turning yellow. You should immediately control the watering, stop fertilizing, and frequently loosen the soil to ensure good soil aeration.
Drought and dehydration
Forgotten watering or long-term partial watering (i.e., dry on the bottom and wet on the top) affects nutrient absorption and can easily cause the leaves to become dull and lose their luster, with the leaves wilting and drooping. Initially, the lower old leaves age and gradually turn yellow from the bottom up. At this time, a small amount of watering and spraying is needed to gradually restore it before returning to normal watering.

Long-term lack of fertilizer
Long-term absence of nitrogenous fertilizer application or not changing the potting soil can lead to a lack of essential nutrients such as nitrogen in the soil, resulting in weak branches and leaves that are thin and yellow. It is necessary to repot and replace it with new loose and fertile culture soil, gradually applying diluted decomposed liquid fertilizer or compound flower fertilizer.
Over-fertilization
Too much fertilizer can cause new leaves to become thick and uneven, with old leaves drying,尖焦黄脱落 (turning yellow and falling off from the tips). You should immediately stop fertilizing, increase the amount of watering, allowing the fertilizer to flow out from the bottom of the pot, or repot immediately, wash the soil clump with water, and then repot it.
Hot and high temperatures
In the summer, if heat-loving flowers (such as cyclamen, hanging begonia, and kaffir lily) are placed in a high-temperature area exposed to direct sunlight, it can easily cause the young leaves to have dry tips and edges, or the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. They should be moved to a well-ventilated shady place in a timely manner.
