Quick remedy for yellowing leaves of green radish

As a popular household plant, Pothos is known for its year-round green leaves and rapid growth rate. However, many flower lovers have recently reported that the green radish they are caring for has yellow leaves, and are looking for a quick remedy. Below we will learn the quick remedy for the yellowing of green radish leaves.

1. Improper watering

Improper watering is a common cause of yellow leaves on green radish. Excessive watering and poorly breathed soil will lead to poor root breathing, causing yellow leaves, usually starting from older leaves and gradually spreading to more leaves. On the contrary, not watering for a long time will cause the roots to dry out, affect the growth of new roots, and cause yellow leaves to fall off.

The correct approach is to water the potting soil thoroughly when it is almost dry, keep the soil moist and use loose and breathable soil.

2. Improper fertilizer

Lack of fertilizer can also cause yellow leaves of green radish. If the growth of the green radish stagnates and the leaves begin to turn yellow, especially the veins turn yellow first, this is a sign of fertilizer deficiency. Regular and quantitative fertilization is the key. During the growing seasons (spring, summer, and autumn), apply multi-element or high-nitrogen fertilizers 1-2 times a month to promote rapid growth of green radish and avoid yellow leaves.

3. Unsuitable lighting conditions

Inadequate light exposure can also cause yellowing leaves of the green radish. Prolonged exposure to insufficient or excessive light will cause the leaves to turn yellow. When there is a lack of light, the leaves will gradually become smaller, thinner, and lighter in color; when the light is too strong, the edges of the leaves will begin to turn yellow and eventually spread to the entire leaf. Pothos prefers diffuse light and should be placed where it can receive 1-2 hours of light per day, such as mild light in the morning or evening.

4. Unsuitable soil

Excessive alkalinity in the soil can also cause the leaves of the green radish to turn yellow, which is manifested by the edges of the leaves beginning to turn yellow while the veins remain green. The water quality and soil in northern regions may be alkaline, so the soil pH needs to be adjusted regularly, such as watering with vinegar water once a month to avoid severe soil alkalization.

In short, when facing the problem of yellowing leaves of green radish, the first thing to do is to check the light, water, fertilizer and soil conditions, find out the root cause of the problem and make timely adjustments. With proper care and timely detection and resolution of problems, the green leaves of the pothos will be restored.
