What if the leaves of potted goose palm wood turn yellow?

Goose palm wood branches and leaves are very unique, and the leaves remain evergreen and glossy, so it is a rare indoor foliage plant. However, as foliage plants, their leaves are often yellowed due to the destruction of their growing environment. As a kind of foliage plant suitable for indoor cultivation, goose palm wood is also the same. So, what if the leaves of potted goose palm wood turn yellow?

To know what to do, first of all, we have to find the cause, so that we can take effective measures to change the status quo and quickly return to normal growth. On the other hand, the phenomenon of yellowing of leaves is often caused by the improper use of maintenance and management means, which leads to problems in the environment suitable for its growth, so the plant will appear this phenomenon of poor growth.

1. Improper lighting

Goose palm wood prefers semi-shady growth environment, but plants need light to complete photosynthesis. if the growth environment is too shady for a long time, the plant will not be able to carry out normal photosynthesis due to lack of light, thus affecting the growth of the plant and yellowing leaves. Excessive light will give off too much water because of the dense branches and leaves of the plant, and when the water can not be effectively replenished in time, the leaves will turn yellow. Therefore, in the process of growth, it is necessary to provide suitable light for it.

Second, improper watering

Goose palm wood prefer the moist growth environment, usually only need to feel the basin soil dry in time to replenish water, combined with water spraying. If the original soil or air humidity is too dry, it will often show the phenomenon of yellowing of leaves, but if too much watering causes root damage, it will also cause similar problems. Therefore, watering should be timely and appropriate, spring, summer and autumn usually do not water once for 3-4 days, watering should be strictly controlled in winter, but it should also be considered according to basin soil dry humidity and air humidity.

III. Improper fertilization

Improper fertilization may be caused by excessive fertilization, long-term non-fertilization or too little fertilization, which can easily lead to the yellowing of leaves. Excessive fertilization, mainly due to excessive concentration, fertilizer efficiency is too strong, resulting in root system burns and affect the normal absorption capacity. This will happen when the plant is unable to get water and nutrient supply. The long-term lack of fertilizer of the plant is similar to excessive fertilization to a large extent. When the plant is also unable to absorb the nutrients to maintain its growth, it will be unable to meet the growth needs and appear the phenomenon of yellow leaves. Therefore, the topdressing of potted goose palm wood should not only be timely, but also need to be scientific and reasonable, especially the concentration should be controlled well.

IV. Disease infection

When the plant is attacked by diseases such as leaf spot disease, the leaves will often turn yellow. However, the yellowing of the leaves caused by the disease is different from other concentrated situations. The leaf color usually appears brown when the disease occurs, but it turns yellow when it is serious. Moreover, usually when the leaves turn brown and yellow caused by the disease, the small plates usually become larger gradually. Therefore, once this situation is found, we should use the corresponding drugs to kill it in time.

The yellowing of leaves in foliage plants is mainly caused by the above factors, so it must be reasonable and rigorous when using maintenance and management means at ordinary times. Although this phenomenon is relatively common, we also need to try our best to prevent it, otherwise it not only affects the ornamental, but also may cause death to the plant. Therefore, do not let plants have all kinds of growth problems because of our negligence or improper management.
