What if the leaves of peony hanging orchid turn yellow?

The peony orchid, formerly known as the heart leaf sunflower, is a perennial evergreen herb native to southern Africa. The peony orchid has bright flowers and blossoms from July to August every summer. It can be displayed at home as a foliage plant when it is not flowering, but sometimes we will find that the leaves of the peony orchid suddenly turn yellow. How is that? Next, the pro-agricultural network will introduce to you what to do about the yellowing of peony orchid leaves.

In fact, not all the reasons for the emergence of yellow leaves are abnormal. The emergence of some yellow leaves is a response to the normal metabolism of peony orchids. The main feature at this time is that the leaves that have been raised at the bottom for a long time turn yellow, while the leaves at the top still grow very normally. if the emergence of their own peony orchids is consistent with this characteristic, then do not panic, this is the normal growth response of plants. But if the leaves do not turn yellow in this way, then you should be careful. There may be problems in the maintenance process. At this time, we should find out why. The pro-agricultural network summarizes three reasons for you here.

I. Lighting

Light will affect the yellowing of leaves, and too strong or too weak light will lead to leaf yellowing. If the light is too strong and the leaves are exposed to strong light for a long time, the leaves will be yellowed; if the light is too weak or even absent, the peony orchid will not be able to synthesize the nutrients needed in the body through photosynthesis, and the chlorophyll will be reduced. in this way, the leaves will also appear yellowing.

Thus it can be seen that basking peony orchids in the sun is still a technical task, which can not be directly placed in a dark corner, nor can it be exposed to the sun for too long. It is necessary to find a balance between the two.

II. Fertilization

The peony orchid needs to change the pot after a period of culture. if the peony orchid does not turn the basin and change the soil for a long time, the various nutrient elements in the basin soil have been exhausted, the three elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium have not been replenished in time, the plant is lack of nutrients, and the leaves are yellow and thin. At this time, fertile loam and fertile water should be replaced in time.

Excessive fertilization will also lead to yellowing of leaves, which is easier to judge by comparison, mainly depends on whether fertilizer has been applied recently. If the fertilizer exceeds the requirement of the plant, there will be uneven leaves, rotten roots and yellow leaves, so we should stop fertilizing and irrigate more water, or turn the pot to clean the roots and replace the new soil.

3. Stagnant water

Some flower friends' peony hanging orchid pot soil has poor air permeability and frequent watering, which leads to long-term stagnant water in the basin soil, difficulty in root respiration, and yellowing of leaves, so it is necessary to loosen the soil and control moisture in time.

The above is the pro-agricultural network to introduce to you about the peony hanging orchid leaves yellowing reasons and treatment methods, I hope to bring some help to you. The reproductive capacity of peony orchid is relatively strong, so if you breed in the family, you might as well breed one more pot for backup, even if there is a problem with one pot, there is an article that can be used for backup.
