What is the reason why spider plants turn yellow and what should I do if they wilt?

1. Reasons

1. Too much fertilizer: If you apply too much fertilizer, the plant will not be able to absorb it, the roots will be burned, and its leaves will turn yellow and dull. Fertilizing should be stopped immediately and water should be used for irrigation to accelerate the loss of fertilizer. If the yellowing leaves phenomenon does not change, you need to replace the potting soil as soon as possible.

2. The light is too weak: Although it does not like to be exposed to light for too long, it cannot be placed in a dark place for a long time, otherwise the chlorophyll will be significantly reduced and the leaves will turn yellow. Provide it with an appropriate amount of light every day, as long as it is not exposed to strong sunlight.

3. Water accumulation in the pot: If the soil has poor drainage or there is too much water, water will accumulate at the roots of the plant. This situation will cause yellowing leaves starting from the tips and edges of the leaves. The remaining water should be drained as soon as possible and the soil should be loosened appropriately to prevent it from becoming too compacted.

2. Treatment methods after withering

After the spider plant withers, you should change its pot in time, pour it out of the pot, and clean up the soil around the roots. Use a clean knife to cut off the dead roots and repot with new potting soil. You can also trim the withered leaves slightly, place the plant in a cool place, spray water appropriately, and new leaves will gradually recover.
