What to do if the leaves of Brazilian wood turn yellow

What to do if it turns yellow?

There are many reasons why the leaves of the rubber tree turn yellow. Let’s analyze and see which one yours is!

Alkaline soil and water

The rubber tree is suitable for growing in slightly acidic soil. If the pH value of the soil is not suitable, it is likely to cause the leaves to turn yellow. In response to this situation, it is recommended that you choose suitable soil when planting and alleviate it by applying some special fertilizers.

Overwatering

The rubber tree has high requirements for the surrounding air humidity, but it does not mean that it also needs a lot of water. If the amount of water is not well controlled during daily care, causing water accumulation, the leaves of the rubber tree will turn yellow. For this situation, the best solution is to control the amount of water, pay attention to ventilation, and maintain the permeability of the soil.

Insufficient light

The rubber tree loves sunlight. In order to appreciate it indoors, many people place the rubber tree in a place where the light is not very good. In this case, it is okay in the short term, but if it lasts too long, the leaves of the rubber tree will turn yellow. The specific solution is very simple. After a period of time, place the rubber tree in a sunny place for maintenance, and then move it back after a period of time. This way, both maintenance and appreciation will not be delayed.

Poor ventilation

If the leaves of the rubber tree grow lushly and are not pruned for a long time, the internal branches and leaves will not get enough light. At this time, we should prune the branches and leaves in time, fertilize them, and carry out careful maintenance. I believe that the green leaves will soon return.
