What if the leaves of the queen who bought it home turn yellow? What are the breeding methods and matters needing attention?

Ruyi Queen, also known as Ruyi Evergreen, Colored Leaf Cotyllia, Colored Leaf Bright Silk Grass, is a kind of herbaceous plant. Plant height 30-40 cm, stem erect unbranched, internode obvious, beautiful leaf color, especially tolerant shade. So, what about the yellow leaves of the Wishful Queen bought home? What are the breeding methods and precautions?

I. What should I do if I buy the yellow leaves of Empress Ruyi at home?

1, color: water yellow

Possible cause: Empress Ruyi's flowerpot accumulated too much water and was wet for too long, which led to the lack of oxygen in Empress Ruyi's soil, which caused the root system of Empress Ruyi to rot, and even weakened the absorption ability of Empress Ruyi.

Treatment method: This situation should be immediately loosened, control the amount of watering, stop fertilization, serious cases can be taken out of the Ruyi Queen from the soil, put it in the shade to dry and then fill the soil.

2, color: fat yellow

Possible reasons: Because we apply too much fertilizer or too much fertilizer concentration, especially excessive nitrogen fertilizer, the leaves are yellow, which is characterized by shiny new leaves, but the leaves are not flat enough, but the old leaves gradually turn yellow and fall off.

Treatment: stop fertilizing and increase watering to dilute the fertilizer concentration, and then refill the soil, which is usually done in rain.

3, color: alkali yellow

Possible causes: Ruyi Queen often causes chlorosis and yellowing due to alkaline soil. The yellowing appeared in the veins of branches, but the veins, especially the main veins of Empress Ruyi, remained green, showing obvious color differences. After a period of time, with the deepening of yellowing symptoms on the leaf surface, the main veins gradually lost their green surface. Finally, Empress Ruyi turned white, the edges of the leaves were scorched, the leaves withered, the branches withered, and even the whole plant died.

Treatment: In this case, our main goal is to transform the soil so that alum can be applied to fertilize the water.

4, color: dry yellow

Possible reasons: Ruyi Queen will appear yellowing on the surface of leaves or branches due to long-term lack of watering or insufficient watering. At this time, the old leaves will be withered and shed from bottom to top, but the new leaves will generally grow normally.

Treatment method: When this phenomenon occurs, Ruyi Queen should supplement water.

5. Color: Yin yellow

Possible reason: Ruyi Queen likes sunlight, so insufficient indoor sunlight will cause Ruyi Queen's branches and leaves to yellow.

Treatment method: At this time, the flower tray should be moved to an outdoor ventilated place with direct sunlight.

II. What are the breeding methods and precautions of Ruyi Queen?

1. Plant division: in spring, combine with pot turning, divide the large plants from the pot into several clusters, remove excess old leaves and withered leaves, each cluster with 5-6 leaves, and then plant them separately.

2, sowing: usually in spring, germination temperature is 15-20℃, germination 15-20 days after sowing. The germination rate is high and the buds are orderly.

Queen's attention.

1. Temperature

The optimum temperature for growth is 13-18℃. It is cold-resistant and can withstand low temperatures of-5℃ in winter, but it is best to maintain it above 0℃.

2. Light

Ruyi flowers like light, tolerance of half shade. However, avoid strong sunlight exposure, in full light conditions, poor plant growth and become short, yellow leaves, leaf margins appear withered coke. 5-9 The moon should be shaded, or placed under a tree and other semi-shady places, sufficient scattered light can keep the leaves green and shiny. Also avoid too much shade, lack of light when the foliage luster, beautiful spots become dim, and difficult to bloom.

3. Watering

Ruyi flower is resistant to humidity, drought and humid soil environment. Growth period should be sufficient watering, keep the pot soil moist but not wet, do not accumulate water, otherwise it will lead to rotten roots. Summer water loss faster, appropriate more irrigation; winter need to control the amount of watering, keep the pot soil moist can be.

4. Fertilization

During the growth period, the required nutrients are relatively large, and fertilizer should be applied once every half month. The combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be mastered to make the plants grow healthy and colorful. Too much nitrogen fertilizer will make the leaves grow too fat, soft and easy to cause lodging, and will make the new leaves grow smaller, or even completely green. Fertilization should be stopped in winter.

5, pruning

Dead yellow leaves and old leaves that do not grow well should be cut off at any time.

6. Turn over the basin

Potted plants are turned over once a year in spring, and ground plants need to be renewed once every 3-4 years. Do not choose soil, but loose fertile and well-drained soil is good; can grow in slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil with pH value of 5.5-8. Matrix can be used decayed leaf soil, garden soil, chaff ash or coarse sand and other materials prepared.
