What if the leaves of aloe turn yellow?

Last Updated: 2024/11/22, There are many reasons for yellowing aloe leaves: if the environment is too dry, put a basin of water around it to moisturize, and if it is watered too frequently, loosen the soil, but if the situation is more serious, you should cut the roots and replant. If it is caused by a long period of lack of fertilizer, then apply some light fertilizer to it first, and then apply fertilizer normally after some recovery.

1. Spray water to humidify

Reason: aloe vera is a typical wet plant, which grows well in a humid environment, but if it is in a dry environment for too long, it will not grow normally and the leaves will show signs of yellowing.

Solution: when the aloe vera is too dry, some measures should be taken to increase the air humidity, such as a basin full of water around it, spraying some water mist on its leaves, and so on.

2. Control watering

Reason: although aloe likes to be wet, it is also afraid of waterlogging and cannot grow normally in too moist soil. Because the water content of the soil that is too wet will be very high, so the amount of oxygen will be reduced, thus affecting the breathing of the roots. If the respiration of the roots is inhibited, it will not be able to absorb nutrients from the soil normally, and the leaves will turn yellow due to lack of nutrients.

Solution: if the situation is not very serious, aloe can loosen the soil, increase the oxygen content in the soil and make the water in the soil volatilize quickly. If the situation is serious, you need to take the plant out of the soil, then clean up the broken roots, and then plant it with the newly matched soil.

3. Timely fertilization

Reason: although aloe is not particularly fond of fertilizer, but not fertilizing for a long time will also lead to its lack of nutrition, it is difficult to grow normally.

Solution: first apply some light fertilizer to it, do not add too much at a time, wait until its condition has improved, and then follow the scientific method to fertilize it.
