And it is often much more important to find the crux of the problem in time and how to save it than to cut off the yellow leaves.

But there is another situation, because the iron tree is not cold-resistant, it may cause the leaves to turn yellow when it is frozen, but in this case, we only need to adjust the temperature reasonably and take measures to keep warm and keep warm in time. Generally speaking, it is not necessary to cut off all the frozen yellow leaves, and it is usually only necessary to cut off the more serious leaves, which can prevent the frozen leaves from being infected by bacteria and the phenomenon of stem rot or root rot.
