Causes and treatments for yellow leaves of pearl spider plant

1. Pot soil problem

Reason: Suitable potting soil is essential for plant growth. The requirements of the pearl spider plant for the potting soil are still quite high. If its root system is short, the flowerpot is deep, and the soil has poor air permeability and drainage, it will be detrimental to the normal growth of the plant, and the branches and leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: The potting soil needs to be replaced in time. As for flower pots, you should choose pots of appropriate depth according to the length of the plant's own roots, so that the air permeability and water permeability of the soil in the pot can be better. As for flower soil, you can replace it with loose, breathable, well-drained, slightly acidic sandy soil rich in humus.

2. Lack of water

Reason: It is relatively drought-resistant, so it is possible that if it is not watered in time, the plant may become overly water-starved and turn yellow.

Treatment: Replenish water in time, and then place the plant in a cool place to allow it to recover. During daily maintenance, the principle of watering should be "water when the plant is dry and water thoroughly". When the weather is drier, you can spray some water on the leaves and branches to ensure that the plant does not lack water.

3. Too much light

Reason: Pearl Chlorophytum likes semi-shady environment. If the light is too strong, the leaves will be sunburned and turn yellow.

Solution: Move the plant to its original location immediately, and then place it in a cool place with scattered light as much as possible. Spray some water on the leaves of the plant, and then wait for it to recover.

4. Insufficient nutrients

Cause: The yellowing of the leaves of the pearl spider plant may be caused by lack of nutrition.

Solution: Nutrients need to be replenished in time. You can increase the frequency and amount of fertilization and apply some thin fertilizer. Or you can spray some nitrogen fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves to provide the plants with sufficient nutrients.
