Causes and treatments of yellowing leaves of green radish

As a common indoor ornamental plant, green ivy is favored by many families for its beautiful branches and leaves and its ability to purify the air. However, some novice flower lovers may encounter the problem of yellowing leaves when caring for green radish, which not only affects the ornamental value of the plant, but may also mean that there is a problem with the health of the plant. Let’s learn the reasons and treatment methods for the yellowing of green radish leaves.

1. Overwatering

A common cause of yellowing leaves on pothos is overwatering. Frequent watering causes the soil to remain moist for a long time, affecting the normal breathing of the roots, which in turn causes root damage and inability to absorb sufficient nutrients, causing the leaves to turn yellow. The correct way to water is to wait until the soil surface is 70% to 80% dry before watering thoroughly to maintain the soil's dry-wet cycle. When caring for it indoors, you can spray water on the leaves regularly in well-ventilated conditions to maintain a high air humidity.

2. Improper fertilization

As a foliage plant, green radish requires an appropriate amount of fertilizer to maintain its growth. Long-term lack of fertilizer or depletion of soil nutrients can cause plants to become weak and their leaves to turn yellow. At the same time, applying fertilizer too frequently or at too high a concentration can cause fertilizer damage and burn the roots. It is suitable for "thin fertilizers and frequent applications" for Chlorophytum cochinchinensis, especially when applying quick-acting fertilizers, just sprinkle a small amount of particles on the surface of the potting soil. Liquid fertilizers such as rice water or milk must be fully fermented first. For indoor green radish, it is recommended to apply a thin plant nutrient solution once or twice a month, which can promote growth and eliminate odor.

3. Too much light

Pothos is a shade-loving plant and is suitable for being placed in a cool, humid and ventilated environment. It cannot tolerate strong direct sunlight. Especially in hot weather, prolonged direct sunlight can cause the leaves to wilt and turn yellow. Therefore, the green radish should be placed in a ventilated place indoors and avoid direct sunlight. When the light is soft in winter, you can allow the green radish to receive appropriate scattered light to promote its growth and make the leaves more dark green and shiny.

Understanding the growth habits of green radish and carrying out reasonable maintenance management in terms of watering, fertilizing and lighting can effectively prevent yellow leaves and maintain the healthy growth of green radish.
