What should I do if the leaves of the latest epiphyllum turn yellow?

Epiphyllum in the breeding process will cause leaves yellowing for a variety of reasons, which is not conducive to the growth and development of epiphyllum, so how to deal with the yellowing of epiphyllum leaves? Come and study with the editor.

1. Shading

Epiphyllum does not have high requirements for light, if it is exposed to the sun during the growing period, it is very easy to affect its normal metabolism, and its leaf margin will gradually turn yellow. At this time, we should cut off the yellow leaves in time, move to a ventilated and half-shaded place, and then pay attention to the light intensity during the growing period and shade properly when the light is strong.

2. Increase moisture

Epiphyllum prefers to grow in a humid environment and is not resistant to drought. if there is a lack of water during the growing period, it will affect the growth balance of the plant, and the leaves will gradually wither and yellow. Therefore, it is necessary to water once in time, loosen the soil, strengthen ventilation and maintain good soil permeability. After watering, keep the basin soil moist, but do not accumulate water. Its leaves will slowly recover.

3. Heating

Epiphyllum is more sensitive to the surrounding temperature changes, if the temperature is very low, its plants will grow poorly, and the leaves will yellowing and wilting due to lack of nutrients. At this time, artificial heating production is needed, and when the ambient temperature is lower than 8 degrees, it should be moved to the greenhouse in time to give full sunshine to avoid freezing damage.

4. Reduce fertilization

Epiphyllum is a fertilizer-loving plant, but it is not tolerant to heavy fertilizer and raw fertilizer. If it is fertilized too much or its concentration is too high during daily maintenance, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and wilt. So at this time to stop fertilization, apply an appropriate amount of calcium superphosphate solution after loosening the soil treatment, and then fertilization should be based on thin fertilizer, and then poured into clean water.

5. prevention of diseases and insect pests

When epiphyllum is extremely vulnerable to scale insects, aphids and leaf blight under the condition of high temperature and humidity, most of them are caused by poor ventilation, and the leaves will appear spots after the disease, resulting in yellow and wilt leaves. The diseased leaves can be cut off at the initial stage of the disease, strengthen the indoor permeability, and then spray with thin omethoate solution for prevention and treatment.

The above is the introduction of what to do when the epiphyllum leaves turn yellow. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about it, please follow us.
