What to do if the leaves of ball pine turn yellow

The yellowing of pine is caused by normal metabolism

In midsummer or winter, the leaves of the ball pine may turn yellow, which is manifested as irregular yellowing of the leaves in the middle of the branches. Or after frost, the needles at the base of the pine tree may turn yellow.

These are actually relatively normal metabolic processes and a very normal phenomenon. At this point, there is no need to worry too much.

Excessive watering causes yellowing of pine

When growing pine trees, if you water them too much or if there is long periods of rain, excessive rain will cause the pine trees to be in an overly moist state for a long time. Water accumulation is likely to occur at this time, and the soil lacks oxygen, so the roots are prone to rot, and the leaves are likely to turn yellow.

When the leaves of the ball pine turn yellow, pay attention to proper watering. Generally, the soil moisture can be kept at 15%-30%, but not too wet.

Pine turns yellow due to exposure to sunlight

In summer, the leaves of the pine tree will turn yellow easily. In fact, the main reason is that the light is too strong in summer. If exposed to the sun, the moisture of the pine tree will evaporate quickly, and the leaves will easily be burned and become withered and yellow.

At this time, you need to pay attention to the issue of light and provide shade when necessary.

Long-term indoor cultivation of ball pine leads to yellowing

In fact, if you place the pine indoors for a long time during the cultivation, it will lead to insufficient light and poor ventilation, or if you move the pine that has been cultivated indoors for a long time outdoors, this will cause the leaves of the pine to turn yellow.

At this time, we should pay attention to coordinating the light to meet the light needs of the pine tree.
