What do the leaves of the red spider lily look like? What should I do if the leaves of the red spider lily turn yellow?

1. What does it look like?

The leaves of red spider lily usually grow in autumn. They are narrow and ribbon-shaped, about 15 cm long and only 0.5 cm wide. The tip is relatively blunt and dark green in color with a pink-green band in the middle. In terms of appearance, its leaves are a bit like garlic leaves, and they grow in clusters, are fleshy in texture, and have white powder on the surface.

2. What to do if it turns yellow

1. Proper shade: Red spider lily is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment. If the light is too strong, the leaves of the plant will lose water, and in severe cases will be burned, causing them to turn yellow. Generally speaking, the plant should be placed in a semi-shaded place for maintenance. If it is difficult to move, you can provide appropriate shade on it.

2. Reduce watering: Red spider lily is a bulbous plant and does not require much water. If you water it too much, it will easily rot and the leaves will turn yellow. In this case, you need to reduce watering, loosen the soil appropriately, and accelerate water evaporation. If there is water accumulation in the soil, it needs to be drained immediately.

3. Stop fertilizing: Red spider lily needs fertilizer to grow, but if too much fertilizer is applied or the fertilizer is too concentrated, it will cause fertilizer damage and cause the leaves to turn yellow. Usually, you should pay attention to controlling the amount of fertilizer. It is enough to apply it once every 15 days. Use dilute cake fertilizer water as the fertilizer. If fertilizer damage has already occurred, the plant needs to be removed from the pot and the roots trimmed in time.

4. Increase the temperature: Red spider lily is afraid of cold, and the temperature cannot be lower than 1℃ in winter. If the temperature is too low, the plant will be frozen and yellow leaves will appear. If it is caused by low temperature, you need to move the plant to a warm place, or put a plastic bag on it to keep it warm.
