What to do if carnation leaves turn yellow

1. Causes of yellowing

1. Improper watering

As mentioned at the beginning of the article, it has been raining every day in the past week, and this flower lover even moved his flowers out. As a result, the flowerpots will be in a state of stagnant water for a long time, and the roots of the flowers are likely to rot.

2. Nutrients are alkaline

It likes slightly acidic soil. If you often water it with water containing alkaline substances or the soil used to plant flowers is also alkaline, the leaves will naturally be damaged.

3. The flower pot or soil has not been changed for a long time

The friend at the beginning of the article only bought the product for a month, so this should not be the case. However, if the flowers you bought at home have been there for a long time and you have never changed the pots and soil, and the leaves have turned yellow, then it is very likely caused by this situation. The flowers grown in this way cannot get enough nutrients, and there are not many nutrients for the roots to absorb, so the leaves will lack nutrients.

4. Improper light and temperature

When the temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius, the leaves will easily dry out and turn yellow. If there is not enough light, the leaves cannot breathe and photosynthesize and will turn yellow.

The above reasons sometimes occur separately, and often occur at the same time. It is necessary to analyze the reasons according to the specific situation of the leaves.

2. Solution

1. If the water is not added properly, you can move the pot to a cool area, do not add fertilizer, and carefully control the watering. If the pot is not dry, do not water it. Loosen the soil frequently to allow the roots to breathe.

2. If the leaves of this flower turn yellow during the growing season, it is likely that the nutrients are alkaline. You can add 0.2% alum fertilizer to the water, and the leaves will turn green soon. If the plant turns yellow during normal growth, it may be due to excessive watering and root rot.

3. The temperature suitable for the growth of this flower is 13 to 25 degrees Celsius. It needs 6 to 8 hours of sunlight every day. It loves light. No matter where it is placed in the room, it must be ensured that it can receive sunlight so that it can grow well.

4. If you need to prune the leaves after they turn yellow, you must wait until they recover. At present, you only need to clean the yellow leaves at the bottom, and be sure not to cut them to damage the roots.
