Causes and treatments for yellow leaves of purple-backed arrowroot

1. Too much light

Reason: Purple-backed arrowroot likes shade. If the light is too strong, its leaves may bend or even turn yellow.

Solution: The plant needs to be moved to a cool place for maintenance. Scattered light is best for it, make sure it has proper light, and then wait for the leaves of the purple-backed arrowroot to regain their luster. During the maintenance of the plant, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight and do not place the purple-backed arrowroot in direct sunlight.

2. Lack of water

Reason: It is extremely drought-intolerant and requires a lot of water during maintenance. If you don't water the plant enough, the leaves of the purple-backed arrowroot will easily turn yellow.

Solution: Replenish water in time, control the amount of water, water when you see the soil becomes dry, and water thoroughly. During the maintenance period, you must pay more attention to the soil moisture of the plant pot and water it in time to prevent it from lacking too much water and causing the leaves to turn yellow.

3. Temperature discomfort

Reason: Purple-backed arrowroot is not a cold-resistant plant. If the temperature is too low in winter, its leaves will turn yellow faster.

Solution: When the temperature is low, place it in a warm place indoors for maintenance. Just make sure the room temperature is above 12 degrees. If the indoor temperature is too low, insulation measures should be taken.
