Causes and treatments of purple jalapa yellow leaves

Causes and treatments of purple jalapa yellow leaves

1. Lack of light

Reason: Mirabilis jalapa loves sunlight very much. If there is not enough light during daily maintenance, the chlorophyll in its leaves will decrease, and the leaves will gradually lose their luster and then turn yellow.

Solution: Place the Mirabilis jalapa potted plant in a sunny location, ensure sufficient light, and then wait for the leaves of the Mirabilis jalapa to regain their luster. But it does not need to avoid strong light, a slightly shaded place is best for its growth.

2. Improper fertilization

Reason: If you fertilize Mirabilis jalapa too much or the concentration is too high, the leaves of Mirabilis jalapa will easily turn yellow. If the Mirabilis jalapa is not fertilized for a long time, the plant will not get enough nutrients and its leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: If the leaves turn yellow due to excessive fertilizer, stop fertilizing immediately and wash the leaves of the Mirabilis jalapa with clean water to dilute the excess fertilizer. If there is a lack of fertilizer, just replenish nutrients in time.

3. Improper watering

Reason: If you water too much and water accumulates, the tender leaves of the Mirabilis jalapa will easily turn yellow. If the Mirabilis jalapa is not watered for a long time and suffers from severe water shortage, its leaves will turn yellow and dry.

Solution: If yellow leaves are caused by excessive watering, stop watering and place the plant in a well-lit and ventilated place to allow excess water to evaporate quickly. If the leaves turn yellow due to lack of water, just add water in time.

4. Temperature discomfort

Reason: Mirabilis jalapa is a flower that is not resistant to high temperatures. If the weather is hot and humid in summer and the environment is poorly ventilated, the leaves of the plants are prone to turning yellow.

Solution: If the problem is caused by high indoor temperature, place the plant in a well-ventilated place to ensure that the indoor temperature is within the suitable range for the plant. Then spray water around the plants frequently to have a cooling effect.
