Last Updated: 2024/11/26, There are many reasons for the yellowing of tortoise bamboo leaves: if it is caused by soil discomfort, it is necessary to change the soil in time; if watering is unreasonable, it is necessary to increase or reduce the amount of water properly; if the light is too strong or too weak, shading or astigmatism should be carried out appropriately; if the temperature is too low, it should be warmed properly.

1. Change the soil

Reason: tortoise back bamboo has more developed fleshy roots, so there are high requirements for soil permeability, more sticky soil will affect its respiration, resulting in its leaves turn yellow.

Solution: to replace it with suitable soil, 2 parts of cooked loess, 1 part of honeycomb coal ash and 1 part of chicken manure can be mixed into mixed soil, which has good air permeability and can make it grow better.

2. Scientific watering

Reason: don't water the turtle back bamboo too much or too little. Both extreme watering methods will cause the leaves to turn yellow, and if there is too much water, it will cause rotting roots.

Solution: water the right amount regularly, preferably when the soil surface is dry, which can increase the humidity in the air.

3. Receive the right amount of light

Reason: too strong or too weak light will cause the leaves to turn yellow. if you leave it in a cool environment for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow, which is because it affects photosynthesis. Of course, you can't put it in a place where the light is too strong, it's easy to burn the leaves and cause them to turn yellow.

Solution: when the sun is strong, you can shade properly, or let astigmatism shine.

4. Keep warm from the cold

Reason: the most suitable growth temperature of Phyllostachys pubescens is 20-25 ℃, the lowest temperature during the growing period should not be lower than 10 ℃, and the mature one should not be lower than 5 ℃. If the temperature is too low, the leaves will be yellowed by frostbite.

Solution: when the temperature is too low, you can take some appropriate measures to keep warm, and be careful not to put it directly in the place where the air conditioner blows directly or next to the heating.
