What to do if the leaves of epiphyllum turn yellow?

Epiphyllum in the breeding process will lead to yellow leaves for various reasons, which is very unfavorable to the growth and development of Epiphyllum, so how to deal with yellow leaves of Epiphyllum? Come and learn together with Xiaobian.

1. Shade

Epiphyllum for light requirements are not high, if the growth period will be placed in the sun exposure, it is easy to affect its normal metabolism, its leaf margin will gradually scorch yellow. At this time, we should cut off the yellow leaves in time and move them to a ventilated and semi-shady place. After that, we should pay attention to the light intensity during the growth period, and properly shade when the light is strong.

2. Increase water content

Epiphyllum prefers to grow in humid environments and is not resistant to drought. If there is a long-term lack of water during the growth period, it will affect the growth balance of the plant and the leaves will gradually wither. Therefore, it is necessary to irrigate water once in time, loosen soil treatment, strengthen ventilation, and maintain good soil permeability. After watering to keep the pot soil moist, but not water. Its leaves will slowly recover.

3. Heating

Epiphyllum is sensitive to changes in ambient temperature. If the temperature is very low, its plants will grow poorly, and its leaves will turn yellow and wither due to insufficient nutrients. At this time, it is necessary to carry out artificial heating yield, when the ambient temperature is lower than 8 degrees, it should be moved to the greenhouse in time, and full sunshine should be given to avoid flood damage.

4. Reduce fertilization

Epiphyllum is a fertile plant, but it is not tolerant of heavy fertilizer and raw fertilizer. If too much fertilizer is applied during daily maintenance, or the concentration is too high, the leaves will turn yellow and wither. So at this time to stop fertilization, apply the right amount of calcium superphosphate solution after loosening treatment, after fertilization to thin fertilizer mainly, and then poured into water.

5, pest prevention

When epiphyllum in high temperature and high humidity conditions are vulnerable to scale insects and aphids, leaf blight, etc., most of which are caused by poor ventilation, the leaves will appear spots after the disease, and finally lead to yellow leaves withered. You can cut off the diseased leaves at the early stage of the disease, strengthen indoor permeability, and then spray control with thin omethoate solution.

The above is the introduction of epiphyllum leaves yellowing, I hope to help you, want to know more about the relevant knowledge, please pay attention to us.
