What about yellow leaves?

Fortune tree is also called malabar chestnut, melon chestnut, goose foot money, etc., which means that raising this tree means making a fortune. Therefore, many people are willing to plant such a tree at home. In this fast-paced life, not everyone has so much time to take care of these plants, so it will also get sick and have symptoms such as yellowing leaves. Let's take a look at how to do yellowing leaves of Fortune Tree.

improper watering

[Reason] Rich trees like warm and humid climate environment, pot soil to wet is appropriate, but indoor cultivation generally pot soil is not dry, irrigation is poured thoroughly. Because if watering is not thorough, watering wet under dry, will affect nutrient absorption, resulting in dull leaf color, and gradually from the bottom to the top yellow fall off.

Improper watering leads to yellowing of the leaves of the rich tree, which requires a small amount of watering and frequent spraying, so that it gradually recovers and then turns to normal watering.

Light discomfort

[Reason] The rich tree likes light, but it is not resistant to strong direct light. It is advisable to use semi-shade or scattered light. Only in winter can it grow well under better light conditions. Long-term shade or light in the dark, there will be yellow leaves, off the leaf phenomenon, serious cases will also appear dead.

[Method] Starting from late April, you can choose sunny and warm noon, move the basin out of the room or balcony, directly see the sun for 1~2 hours, and gradually extend the time, which will have a good breeding effect.

pests and diseases

[Cause] Leaf spot disease is a common disease of Fortune Tree. The symptoms are that a few spots appear first, and then the spots gradually expand to the whole leaf and fall off. Insect pests are mainly red spiders, scale insects harm.

[Method] Leaf spot disease can be sprayed with garlic juice for sterilization, red spider can be effectively controlled with acaricide, acaricide, dicofol, etc., scale insects can be wiped clean with cloth strips when there are few, and more can be sprayed with wind oil and detergent 0.2% solution for prevention and control.

excess fertilizer

[Reason] During the appropriate temperature period for the growth of rich trees, fertilizer should be applied regularly to ensure the flourishing growth of plants. Generally, thin fertilizer should be applied once every 20 days or so, and decomposed base fertilizer should be added when changing pots. However, excessive fertilizer application, or application of fertilizer is not decomposed, will lead to rich tree burning roots, yellow leaves fall off.

[Method] Rich trees do not need fertilization when the soil is fertile enough. If they are raised for a long time, they can be considered to be given thin fertilizer. Do not use thick fertilizer. Fertilization can use some common leaf fertilizer. Remember to be thin fertilizer.

Dust is too thick

The dust on the leaves of the rich tree is too thick, which not only affects the appearance, but also affects the respiration and photosynthesis of the plant, resulting in yellowing of the leaves.

[Method] Dust should be wiped clean in time.

soil replacement error

[Reason] When the rich tree changes soil, the wrong operation will also cause the rich tree leaves to yellow.

[Method] When changing soil for rich trees, the roots should be damaged as little as possible. The added matrix should be sterile, breathable, fertile and acidic. The basin soil should also be filled with solid soil. There should be no gap. If there is a gap, the plant will be watered again, and water shortage will still occur, resulting in yellowing of leaves.

temperature is too low

[Reason] The rich tree likes warm and humid environment, the suitable temperature for growth is 20~30℃, the temperature is lower than 18℃, the rich tree stops growing, the temperature is as low as 10℃, but the lowest temperature can not be lower than 5℃, otherwise it will be frozen, the light leaves yellow scattered, the heavy ones die.

[Method] Move the fortune tree to a place with high indoor temperature in time.

temperature is too high

[Reason] If the rich trees that like warm and humid environment are exposed to high temperature, the transpiration of the plants is excessive, and the water and nutrients in the roots are in short supply, which can easily cause the leaf tips to wither or the leaves to fall off.

[Method] Move the rich tree to a well-ventilated shade in time.
