Causes and treatments of spider silk yellowing leaves

1. The temperature is not suitable

Reason: The temperature of the spider silk growth environment should be between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher than 25 degrees, excessive evaporation of water will occur and the leaf tips will turn yellow. If the temperature drops below five degrees, its growth will stop and the leaves will turn yellow.

Measures: If the temperature is too high, just move it to a shady place for maintenance; if the temperature is too low, move it to a warm room.

2. Unsuitable soil

Reason: Spider silk plant should be grown in soil with good drainage and air permeability. If the soil is sticky, the roots will have difficulty absorbing nutrients, which will lead to yellow leaves.

Measures: The soil can be replaced with soil with good drainage, mixed with peat, perlite, etc. In addition, you can also spread some clean river sand on the soil surface to enhance air permeability.

3. Improper watering

Reason: Spider silk plant does not like a hot and humid environment, so it should not be watered too often. But as the temperature rises, you can increase the amount of watering. Control the frequency and amount of water. If you water too many times or there is too much water, it will cause yellow leaves.

Measures: If it is because there is too much water in the soil, you need to remove the plant from the pot, cut off the rotten roots and replant it. Water the plant daily when you see the soil is completely dry, and make sure to water it thoroughly.

4. Insufficient nutrients

Reason: Spider silk needs to be fertilized to provide sufficient nutrients to promote its growth. If nutrients are not replenished in time, their growth needs cannot be met. As the growth slows down, yellow leaves problems will also appear.

Measures: Pay attention to timely fertilizer supplementation and apply thin fertilizer frequently. Fertilizer can be applied after the temperature stabilizes, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
