Don’t be afraid if the leaves turn yellow. Keep reading and I’ll teach you some tips to save your Mirabilis jalapa!

1. Fertilizer damage

1. Too much fertilizer

Sometimes, because we apply too much fertilizer or the concentration is too high, the color of its newly grown leaves will turn dry brown, and the old leaves will become dry and fall off. So at this time we must stop fertilizing it, or wash it with clean water to dilute the excess fertilizer.

2. Too little fertilizer

Some flower lovers, when growing flowers, always only care about watering and forget to fertilize, or do not change the pot for a long time, which will cause the roots to get together, making the plant unable to get enough nutrients, and causing the leaves to turn yellow. At this time, we should not only change the pot in time, but also apply fertilizer to it frequently.

2. Caused by watering

1. Too much water

When we are raising it, we water it too much because we keep replenishing it with water for a long time. This will make the tender leaves become withered and dull, and the roots will also become thin and yellow. Therefore, we must control the amount of water. If the yellowing is serious, we should consider changing the pot.

2. Too little water

Sometimes because of our carelessness, we don’t water it for a long time, which will make it easy to dehydrate, and then the leaves will become withered and yellow, so we must replenish it with water in time at this time, and increase the amount and frequency of watering.

3. Temperature caused

It generally cannot tolerate high temperatures. In summer, the weather is relatively hot and ventilation is not good, so the leaves are prone to turning yellow. Therefore, we must ventilate and cool it in time. In addition, because it is not very cold-resistant, we must control the room temperature in winter and not let the temperature be too low. If it is too low, its leaves will turn yellow.

4. Caused by light

It likes to enjoy light very much. If you don't give it enough light, the chlorophyll in its leaves will decrease, and the leaves will slowly lose their luster and become withered and yellow. So at this time we must try our best to move it to a place with more sunlight so that the leaves can regain their luster.
