Causes and treatments of yellow leaves of royal clothing

1. Unsuitable soil

Reason: It prefers slightly acidic soil. If the soil is alkaline, it will lack soluble iron and other elements that can be absorbed by it, and the leaves will gradually turn yellow.

Treatment method: The acidity and alkalinity of the soil needs to be tested, and the pH should be between 6.5-7 is best. If it is acidic soil, you only need to add alum fertilizer water frequently to supplement the fertilizer. If not, you need to change the flower soil to acidic soil with a pH between 6.5-7.

2. Insufficient light

Reason: Royal Yellow Emperor is a strong sun-loving plant and has high requirements for sunlight. If it is placed in a shaded or dark place for a long time, the branches and leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: Move the potted plant to a sunny place and ensure that it receives at least 8 hours of light a day so that it can grow normally and bloom. Starting from May, it is best to move it outdoors to receive good sunlight.

3. Overwatering

Reason: It is a moisture-loving plant and requires more water during the growing period. Therefore, it is easy for water to accumulate in the pot due to excessive watering, causing the branches and leaves to turn yellow.

Treatment: You need to control watering immediately, loosen the soil in the pot to make it well ventilated, and place it in a ventilated place to allow water to evaporate faster. Or you can put dry paper or dry peat in the flower pot to let them absorb excess water in the pot as soon as possible.

4. Insufficient nutrients

Reason: It likes fertilizer more and its demand for fertilizer will increase during the growth period. If there is no fertilizer or the pot and soil are not changed for a long time, the soil will lack nutrients such as nitrogen, resulting in weak branches and leaves and thin and yellow leaves.

Solution: Add fertilizer in time or repot and replant. In the later maintenance, it is generally sufficient to apply low-concentration liquid fertilizer once every 7-10 days.
