Causes and treatments of yellow leaves of cactus

Causes and treatments of yellow leaves of cactus

1. Soil compaction

1. Reason: If heavy, poorly drained soil is used for cultivation, problems such as waterlogging and malnutrition will occur, affecting its normal growth and causing yellow leaves.

2. Treatment method: The soil needs to be loosened frequently to increase air permeability. You can also replace the soil with new one and prepare potting soil with good drainage and strong permeability.

2. Excessive watering

1. Reason: Cactus does not need too much water to grow. If you water it too much, water will accumulate in the pot, damaging the root system and causing the leaves to turn yellow.

2. Treatment method: First stop watering, take the plant out of the potting soil, then place the potting soil in a ventilated place to drain excess water in the soil.

3. Insufficient light

1. Reason: The growth of cactus requires sufficient light. If the light is insufficient, it will affect the normal growth of the cactus, easily causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off, and in severe cases, death.

2. Treatment method: The cactus needs to receive sufficient light to grow normally. You can move the plant to a ventilated and sunny place, or use fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps to increase the light.
