Causes and treatments for yellowing lemongrass leaves

Causes and treatments for yellowing lemongrass leaves

1. Waterlogging of the soil

1. Reason: Watering too much will cause water accumulation in the soil, causing root damage and inability to absorb nutrients from the soil normally. If the nutrients cannot keep up, the leaves will turn yellow.

2. Treatment method: If you water it too much, put it in a ventilated place and wait for the water to evaporate, or simply replace it with new soil without water accumulation.

2. Excessive fertilization

1. Reason: Lemongrass does not require too much fertilizer to grow. If too much fertilizer is applied during cultivation, it will not have time to absorb it, and the excess fertilizer will remain in the soil, damaging the root system, resulting in yellow leaves.

2. Treatment method: stop fertilizing first, then add water to the soil to let the excess fertilizer drain out of the pot; or change the soil to reduce the fertilizer content in the soil.

3. Too much light

1. Reason: Lemongrass likes light and needs long periods of light to grow, but it cannot withstand strong light. If the light is too strong, its leaves will be sunburned and turn yellow.

2. Treatment method: Cut off the leaves that have turned yellow on the plant, then move it to a shaded place, avoid direct sunlight, and wait for it to slowly recover and grow new leaves.
