What to do if the leaves of Chlorophytum turn white

The reason why the leaves of Chlorophytum turn white

1. Unreasonable lighting

Chlorophytum likes light, but it generally absorbs scattered light and cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. If it is placed in direct sunlight, the leaves will turn white. When there is insufficient sunlight, the leaves will also turn white.

Therefore, unreasonable light can cause the leaves to turn white.

2. Weak respiration

If the leaves still turn white when there is sufficient light and good ventilation, it may be that the plant's respiration is weakened, making the leaves unable to carry out photosynthesis, resulting in lack of oxygen, which will also cause the leaves to turn white.

3. Excessive nitrogen fertilizer application

The reasons why the leaves of spider plants turn white also include lack of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, and excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer, which will easily make the leaves of the plant become larger and thinner, and in severe cases, they will turn white and lose color.

So the third reason may be that you applied too much nitrogen fertilizer.

4. Excessive watering

Chlorophytum likes a humid environment, but it should not be watered too much, as this will cause the roots of the plant to rot and cause the leaves to turn white.

Prevention and treatment of whitening leaves of Chlorophytum

First of all, according to the growth environment, place it in a place with sufficient light, and also pay attention to the shielding of strong light and appropriate shade;

Pay attention to ventilation, don't put it directly in front of the wind, and place it next to the window;

The second is fertilization. You should reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer. If too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, you can dilute it with water or consider repotting.

Also pay attention to watering. Do not water too much or too little. Control the amount and frequency of watering. You can decide how to water according to the growth of the plant.

The last step is to deal with diseases and pests. When you see branches and leaves infested with diseases and pests, be sure to cut them off or spray them with medicine. In short, you must cure them so that there are no more diseases and pests.
