What to do if the leaves of Chlorophytum comosum turn yellow

Natural metabolism

If you keep the Chlorophytum comosum for a long time, the leaves at the bottom will naturally turn yellow. This is a very normal phenomenon and flower lovers don't need to worry. Even if there are many yellow leaves at the bottom, it doesn't matter as long as the leaves at the top are normal.

Improper lighting

If the Chlorophytum comosum is exposed to direct sunlight, its leaves will turn yellow. If the plant is kept in a light-free environment for a long time, the chlorophyll will decrease and the leaves will turn yellow.

Improper fertilization

Some flower lovers have been raising spider plants for a long time without repotting or changing the soil. The various nutrients contained in the soil have been exhausted, and the three elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium have not been replenished in time. The plants lack nutrients and the leaves turn yellow and thin. At this time, you should promptly replace it with fertile loam and water it with alum fertilizer.

Excessive fertilization is relatively easy to judge. It mainly depends on whether fertilizer has been applied recently. If the fertilizer exceeds the plant's needs, the leaves will become shiny and uneven, and then the roots will rot and the leaves will turn yellow. You should stop fertilizing, water more, or repot the plant to clean the roots and replace the soil with new one.

Water accumulation

Some flower lovers have poor air permeability in the potting soil of their Chlorophytum comosum and water it frequently, which causes long-term water accumulation in the potting soil, making it difficult for the roots to breathe and causing the leaves to turn yellow. At this time, the soil should be loosened and the moisture should be controlled in time.

Summary: Flower lovers don’t need to worry if the leaves of Chlorophytum comosum turn yellow, because Chlorophytum comosum is easy to grow and easy to reproduce. You can reproduce a pot first and keep it as a backup to be prepared.
