What is the reason why the leaves of Anthurium andraeanum turn yellow? how to deal with it?

Anthurium andraeanum is suitable for soil cultivation and hydroponics. However, some flower lovers have found that the yellowing of the leaves of Anthurium andraeanum is quite common. So, what is the reason why the leaves of hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum turn yellow so easily? What should we do when this happens? This paper intends to make a brief introduction to the above problems.

The reasons for the yellowing of leaves in hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum may be as follows: lack of timely addition of water in hydroponic container, lack of nutrition in water and lack of light. In fact, the most important thing of hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum lies in water. Most of the plant nutrients are obtained from water, and some of them rely on photosynthesis to accumulate nutrients. Therefore, any of the above will lead to the yellowing of Anthurium andraeanum leaves.

After understanding the main reasons for the yellowing of the leaves of Anthurium andraeanum in hydroponics, it is much easier to deal with them.

1. Add water in time

Always check the water level in the hydroponic container, when the water level is lower than the root 1 to 3, it is necessary to replenish water in time. As long as there is enough water in the hydroponic container, there is no need to sprinkle water on the leaves every day. If the leaves are dirty, wipe them gently with a wet dishcloth.

2. Add nutrient solution at the right time

Hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum how much time to change the water does not matter, the key is to grasp the content of the nutrient solution in the water. Over time, water will be absorbed by the plant, and the daily process of adding water has actually completed the step of changing water.

Therefore, in order to ensure sufficient nutrients in the water, when adding water to the container, drop a few drops of nutrient solution. As for the specific number of drops, it can be more flexible according to the growth of Anthurium andraeanum. Drop at least two drops at a time, and then observe the growth of the plant. If it is normal, it will remain intact, and if it is poor, it will be added properly.

3. Replenish the sunshine

Hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum needs more sunlight than soil culture. Keep 2-3 hours of direct sunlight every day (avoid direct sunlight at noon). More sun in winter can prevent branches and leaves from getting weak and yellowing.

Of course, in order to really solve the problem of yellowing of the leaves of Anthurium andraeanum in water culture, we should first identify the cause of the yellowing of the leaves in order to prescribe the right medicine to the case, otherwise, it may be counterproductive.
