Causes and treatments for yellow leaves of Epiphyllum

1. Impact of pests and diseases

Reason: If there are problems with the maintenance of Epiphyllum, or the growing environment is too hot and stuffy, the plant may be infected with diseases and pests, which will directly affect the plant, endanger its growth and health, and cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: First observe the leaves carefully to determine what disease or pest they are infected with, cut off the diseased and insect-infested leaves first, and then carry out reasonable prevention and control.

2. Too much light

Reason: The sunlight is relatively strong in summer, late spring and early autumn. If you don’t pay attention to this aspect, it can easily cause burns and yellowing.

Solution: After the leaves are burned, remove the leaves first, then shade and place them in a cool place, waiting for the plant to gradually adapt.

3. Temperature is too low

Reason: It cannot withstand cold climates. If the temperature is too low in winter, it will suffer from frost damage, causing the leaves to wilt, turn yellow, and possibly dry up.

Solution: When the temperature is low, you need to move it to a warmer place.

4. Improper watering

Reason: Epiphyllum likes to grow in a humid environment and has a demand for water. If it is not watered for a long time, the roots will lack water and be difficult to absorb water, causing the plant to lack water and dry up, and the leaves will turn yellow. And once too much water is given, it will cause water accumulation, which will lead to yellow leaves.

Solution: Pay attention to watering at ordinary times, water regularly to maintain a good moisture content, but once there is too much water, you need to stop watering it and promote the drainage of water.
