What to do if the leaves of the star beauty turn yellow

Normal phenomenon

If the leaves of the Star Beauty close to the ground begin to turn yellow and gradually wilt, it is normal because the plant does not consume nutrients during its growth. Succulent plants will consume the leaves at the bottom to obtain nutrients, and the bottom are all old leaves. After wilting, it will not affect the growth of the plant, but will speed up the plant's own metabolism and promote renewal.

Overwatering

When seeing the picture for the first time, many succulent lovers will say, wow, it’s so beautiful. This is a sign of yellowing leaves. The main reason is excessive watering. The larger leaves at the top of each branch will become transparent and lighter in color. Excessive watering will cause root rot, hinder the absorption of water by branches and leaves, and cause physiological water shortage, which will cause yellowing of leaves.

During the maintenance process, water as little as possible and do not water unless the soil is dry. If you water too much, expose the plant to more sunlight and loosen the soil. If the soil remains moist for a long time, you will have to change the pot!

Insufficient light

The star beauty will turn blue in a sunny environment, which is very beautiful, but under normal circumstances it will remain green. Only in a few cases will the color become dull due to lack of light. So you need to determine whether the yellowing of the leaves of the star beauty is caused by lack of light.

If the yellowing of leaves is caused by light, then it is much easier to solve. Just add more light and put it in the sun for more time.

Pests and diseases

The yellowing of the leaves of the Star Beauty may be caused by pests and diseases. Observe carefully to see if there are spots or white insects on the leaves. If found, clean them up immediately.

The plant of the star beauty is very small, the leaves are thick, and they grow in clusters, so it is difficult to detect insect infestations. So prevention is the priority. During maintenance, spray fungicide every month.
