If flowers show these 10 symptoms in summer, they are sick! If you don't take care of it, you'll die!

1Leaf tips turn yellow

1. High temperature

The temperature is very high in summer. If plants like spider plants and green ivy are placed on the balcony, the scorching sun will quickly dry out the tips of their leaves.

Solution:

Provide shade immediately or move indoors!

2. Lack of water

If you always forget to water the plants, the plants themselves will not have enough water and will start to wither and turn yellow from the very tips.

Solution:

Plants with small pots and large and thin leaves, such as pennywort and green ivy, should be watered once every evening. On the other hand, for drought-tolerant plants, like succulents and sunflowers, it is okay not to water them for half a month or even a month.  

2 The leaves gradually turn yellow from bottom to top

1. Normal metabolism:

As the plant grows, the lower leaves will turn yellow and fall off, and the stems will become thicker at this time. However, this process is very slow. If it turns yellow suddenly, be careful!

Solution:

Just like succulents, the lower leaves need to wither and fall off before they can grow into beautiful old stumps. In this case, you don't have to worry or care about him.

2. Lack of water:

If you water too little, the plant will turn yellow from the bottom to the top. The old leaves will turn yellow, but the new leaves will look okay.

Solution:

If it is not a normal metabolism, it is usually due to lack of water. The right thing to do is to water it immediately!

3. New leaves turn yellow and wilt

1. Too much watering:

Too much water will cause new leaves to turn yellow, while old leaves will show problems more slowly. This is exactly the opposite of the phenomenon of water shortage, so everyone should understand this.

Solution:

Be sure to control your hands when watering! Plants like bougainvillea and money trees must not be cared for too hard.

2. Lack of fertilizer:

If you apply too little fertilizer, the plants will not be fully fed, and the newly grown leaves will wilt and look very unhealthy.

Solution:

You can make some organic fertilizer yourself using kitchen waste or human and animal manure, and apply some fertilizer every month. It is both environmentally friendly and fun!

4 small leaves with light color and slender stems

1. Insufficient light:

Many people know that succulents will grow tall, but in fact all plants will grow tall. If plants are not exposed to sunlight for a long time, they cannot carry out photosynthesis and will grow thin and long.

Solution:

Move to a place with plenty of light! Remember to turn the pot every day to prevent it from growing crooked.

2. Excessive watering:

If you think that if you water them more, the plants will grow healthily, that's fine, but what we need is for the plants to grow strong, because we are not trying to grow vegetables.

Solution:

Don’t water too much. Water only when the plant is completely dry. And water thoroughly when you do, so that it can grow healthily.

5. The leaves turn pale yellow with brown spots

Soil alkaline:

Most plants prefer acidic soil, but the soil of many flower lovers is alkaline. In this case, flowers and plants may experience this situation.

Solution:

Fermenting rice water can produce acidic fertilizer, which can be diluted and used to water flowers to adjust the pH of the soil. Alternatively, dilute ferrous sulfate and mix it with the potting soil.

6. Slow growth and not tall

1. Too much water causes root rot

If you water too much, water will always accumulate in the soil and there will always be moisture, which will cause the roots to rot. After the roots rot, the normal water and nutrient delivery of the plant will be affected. This way you will naturally grow slower.

Solution: Water less frequently and water only as needed.

2. The flower pot is too small

Many flower lovers have never changed the pots since they bought the flowers home. For plants like the green ivy that grow roots very quickly, their growth will be very weak if they are not repotted.

Solution: During the plant's dormant period, remember to repot it. Only by trimming the roots and changing the soil can the plants grow!

7 Leaves suddenly turn yellow and fall off

1. Excessive fertilization

Applying too much fertilizer will burn the roots. If the plant root system is burned, nutrients cannot be transported, and it will cause irreversible damage to the entire plant.

Solution: flush with plenty of water. If it is really serious, you can only change the pot.

2. Temperature drops suddenly

As the temperature gradually rises, flower lovers have to turn on the air conditioner on a daily basis. Some flower lovers think it is unfair to just enjoy the flowers for themselves, so they simply put the flowers under the air conditioner. Who would have thought that the flowers and plants would turn yellow and lose their leaves.

Solution: Even if we really love flowers because we are afraid of the heat, we still have to proceed step by step. You can place the flowers and plants as far away from the air conditioner as possible.

8 Striped leaves turn pure green

1. Lack of light

Lack of light will cause the leaves to increase chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis, so the originally patterned leaves will turn back to their original pure green.

Solution: Move to the inner side of the balcony to receive sunlight.

2. Too much nitrogen fertilizer

Bean cake residue fertilizer and human and animal manure are both nitrogen fertilizers. Too much nitrogen fertilizer and the pattern will disappear.

Solution: Cut off the leaves that turn completely green to prevent the pure green leaves from becoming dominant. Reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers.

9. Stem and leaf rot

Overwatering:

If you water too much and the water permeability is poor, the roots will rot, and then the stems and leaves will be infected by bacteria and rot together.

Solution: Ensure the permeability of the soil and make sure it is ventilated and breathable. Do not place it in a humid and stuffy place.

10 Yellow-brown spots appear on leaves

1. Sunburn

Think about it, have you recently sprayed water on your favorite flowers at noon when the sun is at its hottest? When water drops fall on leaves, they focus the sunlight like a magnifying glass and then burn the leaves.

This can also happen if it rains and then immediately becomes sunny.

Solution: Do not water the flowers at noon. After the rain, if it sunny immediately after, it is best to gently dry the more delicate leaves.

2. Pests

Insects such as leafhoppers, aphids, and diseases such as anthracnose can cause yellow-brown spots to appear on leaves.

Solution: Soak tobacco in water, take 20 grams of tobacco and 500 grams of water, soak for 24 hours, add 300 grams of water to dilute the filtrate, and spray it on the leaves.
