What to do if the leaves of Green Yuanbao turn yellow

Reasons and prevention methods for yellowing leaves of Green Yuanbao

Reason 1: Exposure to sunlight

Green Yuanbao prefers a cool and sunny growing environment, especially if it is placed in the house for a long time. If it is exposed to the sun, the leaves will turn yellow and black.

Prevention and control measures

You can first gently pinch the leaves of the Yuanbao on the potting soil to see if they are hard. If they are not hard, you can move the plant to a dark place to alleviate the damage caused by exposure to the sun. Also pay attention to ventilation. Then prune the damaged leaves.

Reason 2: Improper watering

Overwatering during normal watering can cause root rot, which can then cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Prevention and control measures

When the leaves turn yellow due to excessive watering, you can reduce the amount of watering and keep the soil in the pot in a semi-dry and semi-wet state. Pay attention to ventilation.

Reason 3: Improper winter maintenance

Green Yuanbao likes warm environment and is afraid of severe cold, so certain anti-freeze measures must be taken in winter. In this way, some flower lovers will place Green Yuanbao next to or on the heater because the weather is too cold. Over time, the leaves will be burned and turn yellow.

Prevention and control measures

When caring for it in winter, place it in a warm place but not close to the heater. Also make sure to ventilate it occasionally and spray water on the leaves to prevent the leaves from turning yellow due to lack of ventilation indoors.

However, when ventilating, remember not to place the plants directly facing the air outlet to avoid frostbite and affect the normal growth of the plants.

Reason 4: Improper fertilization

Too many fertilizations or high fertilizer concentrations can cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Prevention and control measures

You can apply fertilizer once every month. Note that the concentration of the fertilizer should be small. If you have already applied fertilizer, you can dilute the fertilizer with water or change the soil for maintenance. Just use decomposed organic fertilizer as base fertilizer.
