What to do if the leaves of Schefflera turn yellow

1. Treatment methods

When you notice that the leaves of the plant have turned yellow, you need to remove it from the pot and check the growth of the roots. After combing, cut off the rotten roots until healthy roots are exposed. After trimming the roots, they must be placed in carbendazim for disinfection. Then pour out the old soil in the flowerpot and replace it with new soil, and finally replant it in the pot.

2. Improvement of daily maintenance

1. Reasonable watering: When watering it, the amount must be controlled. If there is too much water, its roots will rot and cause yellow leaves. Every time you water, wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering. When watering, just water thoroughly and do not allow water to accumulate.

2. Appropriate light: It is a shade-loving plant and cannot accept too strong light during maintenance. If the yellowing leaves are caused by direct strong light, you need to provide shade when the light is strong. Let it grow in a place with scattered light for a period of time and the yellowing phenomenon will improve.

3. Apply fertilizer in moderation: Excessive fertilization or application of raw fertilizer or concentrated fertilizer will also cause root rot and yellow leaves. Therefore, when you find yellowing leaves, you should control the fertilizer. If it is caused by hypertrophy, you can water more to wash away the excess fertilizer.
