What if the peacock bamboo taro leaves turn yellow?

The phenomenon of yellowing of leaves in family potted green plants is something that many potted friends have encountered, which has seriously affected the ornamental effect of the plants. There is a reason for the yellowing of leaves in plants, even if it is a natural phenomenon, it is also due to plant metabolism and replacement of the old and the new. Then, as an evergreen peacock taro, the leaves turn yellow, which seems unreasonable.

In fact, the yellowing of the leaves of peacock taro is not an accidental event. If we have some problems in maintenance and management, it will naturally lead to leaf yellowing. So, what's going on? The following editor makes a further analysis for you.

1. Lack of light

As we all know, most plants have to promote their growth through photosynthesis, and peacocks and taros are no exception. If the family potted peacock taro is in a shady environment for a long time, the leaves can not form chlorophyll through photosynthesis, and over time there will be yellow leaves, or even fallen leaves.

Although peacock taro does not like to be exposed to the sun, proper light is essential in order to meet its own growth needs. So usually put it in the place where you can receive astigmatism to supplement the light.

2. Excessive illumination

In the previous point, the small and medium-sized editor said that lack of light or no light will cause plant leaves to turn yellow. in fact, if the light is too strong, it can also cause withered branches and yellow leaves. Especially in the hot summer, not only the temperature is high, the light is also very strong, strong light should be avoided shining directly on the peacock taro.

In this case, if the yellow leaf phenomenon caused by excessive light, shading measures should be taken in time, it is recommended to put it in the semi-shade, so that it can accept astigmatism.

3. Caused by lack of water

In the previous editor said that due to improper lighting caused by the peacock taro yellow leaf phenomenon, in addition, underwatering is also another important cause of yellow leaves. Plants will grow slowly due to long-term lack of water or lack of water supply, and competition for water will also be formed between leaves. Some of the leaves that can not compete will naturally appear yellow leaves.

When the plant is short of water, we should replenish it in time. In order to avoid causing yellow leaves, we should water thoroughly every once in a while, but do not cause stagnant water in the basin, which can keep the soil moist and provide enough water for the plant.

4. Overwatering

Peacock taro may have yellow leaves due to underwatering or lack of water supply for a long time, but please do not ignore such a problem: when the plant is overwatered and causes stagnant water in the basin, the root system of the plant will rot, which in turn will lead to the phenomenon of yellow leaves and fallen leaves. When we find that even the young leaves of our peacock taro have dark yellow and no luster, while the old leaves have no obvious changes, the stems and leaves are small and the new shoots are wilted, which shows that they have been overwatered.

In fact, the disposal of overwatering is very simple, as long as the plant is removed from the pot and placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry together with the soil. Wait for the pot soil to dry, and then reload it into the flowerpot. Just in the future water management, we need to be more careful.
