What to do if the yew leaves are dry

1. Caused by moisture

Yew is very afraid of moisture. If too much water is left on the plant when watering, or the soil in the pot is too wet, the roots will easily lack oxygen. The respiration of the roots will be severely restricted, eventually causing the roots to rot and the leaves to dry out.

Solution: When watering it, it is best to water it fully at one time, and then wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering again. In addition, when watering, you can also combine some medicines to treat root rot. When placing the medicine, the amount should not be too much, and the concentration should not be too high. Apply it in small amounts and multiple times to allow the roots to grow normally, so that the leaves will no longer dry out.

2. Caused by light

Yew is relatively shade-tolerant, but in order to make it grow better, it should still be given some sunlight. If there is not enough light, nutrients will be seriously lacking and the leaves will begin to dry up.

Solution: It is shade-tolerant and afraid of strong light, so you can place it on the balcony or in the yard in the morning and evening, but not every day. It is best to leave a few days in between so that the leaves will return to normal immediately.

3. Caused by small pots and large seedlings

When it was first planted in the pot, it was still a small plant, so the pot was also smaller when chosen. But as time went on, the plant grew slowly and the roots required more nutrients, causing the soil to lack nutrients and the space in the pot to become small. Once the nutrients were not supplied, the roots would easily die, so the leaves began to dry up.

Solution: Replace the soil in the pot in the morning or evening when the weather is cooler. When repotting, the small hole under the large pot should be raised a little bit. It is best to use a small stone pad on the bottom to facilitate water permeability. When choosing potting soil, try to use humus soil, and then add some iron-containing agents to supply iron to the leaves for a long time to prevent the leaves from drying out.

4. Caused by nutrient deficiency

During maintenance, if the soil in the pot is not loosened for a long time and watered frequently, the soil will eventually become compacted and airtight, and the nutrients will decrease, so the leaves will begin to dry up.

Solution: You can add some organic fertilizer to the potting soil in an appropriate amount, apply it while loosening the soil, and then water it. In addition, you need to fertilize its leaves. The best time to fertilize is around 5 pm, so that the nutrients are sufficient and the leaves will dry up.
