Causes and treatments for yellow bamboo leaves

1. Poor ventilation

Reason: If the ventilation performance of the bamboo's growth environment is relatively poor, or the bamboos are planted too densely and cannot get through the air, the bamboo's photosynthesis efficiency will be reduced, and yellow leaves will appear over time.

Measures: Enhance the ventilation of the breeding environment. If it is a potted plant, it can be moved to a window with better ventilation. If the bamboos are too dense, you can trim them to create some space.

2. Improper watering

Reason: If you water too little, the water will evaporate too much, and the bamboo will not have enough water to grow, and the leaves will turn yellow. If you water too much, the roots will have difficulty breathing and will rot, and the leaves will turn yellow.

Measures: If it is because of too little watering, you can increase the amount of watering, water thoroughly and moisten the soil. If it is because of too much watering, you should drain the water and loosen the soil in time to promote water evaporation. If the situation is serious, you need to remove the plant from the pot, cut off the rotten roots and replant it. During subsequent maintenance, the amount of water should be controlled.

3. Pest and disease problems

Reason: Bamboo is susceptible to red spider mites, which will erode the chlorophyll in the bamboo leaves, and then small spots will appear on the leaves, and slowly, the leaves will turn yellow as a whole.

Measures: Once signs of red spider infestation are found, it is necessary to spray pesticides as soon as possible to eliminate and treat them. During routine maintenance, attention should be paid to the prevention and control of diseases and pests.

4. Lack of light

Reason: Bamboo needs to be grown in a place with better light so that it can synthesize nutrients through photosynthesis and form chlorophyll. If there is no light for a long time, chlorophyll cannot be formed and the leaves will turn yellow.

Measures: It needs to be moved to a place with better light as soon as possible, but avoid exposure to the sun. When the light is insufficient, artificial light is needed.

5. Too much fertilizer

Reason: If too much fertilizer is applied to bamboo, the roots of the bamboo will be burned, resulting in yellow leaves.

Measures: Stop fertilizing immediately, remove the bamboo from the pot, rinse the roots of the bamboo, dilute the excess fertilizer and then change the soil for planting.
