What to do if the leaves of the peace lily turn yellow

1. Proper watering

Reason: Improper water management. When the plant is too dry or water accumulates for a long time, its leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: When watering it, keep the soil slightly moist, but a little dry.

2. Reasonable lighting

Cause: There is a problem with light management. The peace lily is a light-loving and semi-shade-tolerant plant, so we have to place it in an environment with bright scattered light. If it is exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, especially the summer sun, the leaves will turn yellow. If it grows in a shaded space without light for a long time, it will also turn yellow.

Solution: Place it in a suitable lighting environment and it will slowly recover.

3. Reasonable fertilization

Cause: Leaves will also turn yellow when improper fertilization occurs.

Solution: If the problem is lack of fertilizer and barrenness, you can solve it by applying fertilizer and changing the soil; if the amount of fertilizer is too large or raw fertilizer is applied, you can solve it by flushing with water or changing the soil.

4. Control of pests and diseases

Cause: The occurrence of pests and diseases, such as scale insects and red spiders, can also cause yellowing of leaves.

Solution: Spray the pesticide in time to control pests and improve the yellowing of leaves.
