What should I do if the leaves of Syngonium turn yellow or wilt?

1. Increase the temperature

Reason: Syngonium likes to grow in a warm environment. If the indoor temperature is low for a long time, it will affect the normal growth of the plant and cause the leaves to turn yellow and wilt.

Solution: Be sure to maintain a good temperature in winter, place it in a warm place indoors, and keep it at least above 5 degrees Celsius.

2. Replace the soil

Reason: Syngonium is an acidic flower and is difficult to adapt to an alkaline environment. If it stays in alkaline soil for a long time, it will cause growth problems, leading to weak growth and poor growth. The leaves will naturally turn yellow and wilt, and lose vitality.

Solution: After one or two years, you need to replace the soil with fresh, loose acid soil, which is more in line with the needs of growth. If the soil is alkaline, you can regularly water it with water diluted with ferrous sulfate, or add a few drops of vinegar.

3. Reasonable fertilization

Reason: If no fertilizer is applied since planting, the Syngonium will grow very fast, which will lead to insufficient nutrients, causing malnutrition of the plant and yellowing and wilting of leaves. Applying too much fertilizer can hinder root growth and cause root burn.

Solution: Fertilize according to growth. During the period of vigorous growth, fertilizer can be applied in time to ensure nutrients. Never apply concentrated fertilizer. If it is too concentrated, water the plant immediately to dilute it.

4. Adjust watering

Reason: Watering is also a very important reason. Lack of water or too much water will cause problems for the plant, and the leaves will turn yellow and wilt.

Solution: Water the plant correctly according to its growth trend. If water accumulation is found, stop watering immediately to promote evaporation of the accumulated water in the pot.
