What to do if the leaves of Brazilian wood turn yellow and wither

1. Replace the soil

Reason: Soil is the basic factor for maintaining and cultivating plants. If the soil is too compacted, the roots will lack oxygen and cannot breathe normally, which will seriously affect normal growth and cause the leaves to turn yellow and wither.

Solution: Provide loose and fertile sandy soil during maintenance and cultivation. Loosen the soil regularly to keep it soft. Change the potting soil every one or two years. Do not allow the plant to grow in compacted soil. Also, ensure that the soil is slightly acidic.

2. Give Sunlight

Reason: The growth of the rubber tree cannot be separated from sunlight. It itself likes sunlight very much. If it grows in a dark place without sunlight for a long time, it will naturally not be able to carry out photosynthesis normally, which will cause its growth to weaken, resulting in poor growth. If this continues for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow and wither.

Solution: Keep the rubber tree in a well-lit place and expose it to sufficient sunlight to make the leaves bright, shiny, and dark green.

3. Watering correctly

Reason: The reason for watering is also very important. Not watering for a long time will cause the soil in the pot to dry out, causing the leaves to dry and turn yellow. Too much watering can cause root rot, affect normal water transport, and cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: If there is a lack of water for a long time, you need to water it regularly according to its growth. If you water it too much, the roots will rot. You need to cut off the rotten roots and reduce the amount of water.

4. Improve ventilation

Reason: Long-term lack of ventilation and keeping in a stuffy and airtight environment can also cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: Cut off the yellow leaves, increase air circulation in the growing environment, and open windows more often to allow for fresh air.
