What if the leaves of Phyllostachys pubescens turn yellow?

1. Root cutting and replanting

Reason: if the root system of Phyllostachys pubescens is damaged, it will affect its absorption of nutrients. Failure to absorb enough nutrients will cause the leaves of the plant to turn yellow.

Solution: remove the water bamboo from the matrix, check the roots, find the blackened and rotten roots and cut them off. Then put it into a new medium for curing.

2. Adding fertilizer

Reason: this situation is similar to the previous one, and the leaves of Phyllostachys pubescens turn yellow due to lack of nutrients. The difference is that the previous one is internal, and this one is external. Because the water bamboo has not been fertilized for a long time, it is difficult for it to absorb enough nutrients, and yellow leaves will appear.

Solution: appropriate amount of water supply to apply some nutrient solution or fertilizer, the concentration must not be too high, not too much at a time, otherwise it will cause burning seedlings.

3. Increase the light

Reason: if the water bamboo is placed in a shady place for a long time, making it difficult for it to come into contact with the sun, it is very difficult for it to synthesize nutrients by photosynthesis. without nutrients in the leaves, it will naturally be unable to grow normally to synthesize chlorophyll, so it will turn yellow.

Solution: change its maintenance site and put it in a sunny one. But be careful not to put it in a place where the sun is too strong, or it will easily burn its leaves.
