Causes and treatments for yellow leaves of bamboo cypress

1. Lack of water

Reason: Bamboo cypress needs sufficient water to grow. If there is not enough water, the edges of its leaves will gradually dry and wither, and some old leaves will turn yellow and then fall off.

Measures: If the yellow leaves are caused by lack of water, just increase the frequency of watering. During daily maintenance, if you see that the surface soil is dry, you should water it in time to moisten the soil. When watering, be careful to control the amount of water and avoid water accumulation.

2. Insufficient light

Reason: Bamboo cypress is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient sunlight, and its growth is promoted by receiving light. If there is insufficient light, or if there is no exposure to light, nutrients cannot be synthesized through photosynthesis, and the leaves will turn yellow.

Measures: You need to move it to a place with milder light, and be careful to avoid strong direct sunlight.

3. Temperature is too high

Reason: When the temperature is too high in summer, if the bamboo cypress is not shaded, its moisture will evaporate under the high temperature and the tips of its leaves will gradually turn yellow.

Measures: When the temperature is too high, it is not suitable to continue to be kept in a place with strong light outdoors. It can be moved to a cool place for maintenance.

4. Insufficient nutrients

Reason: Bamboo cypress needs sufficient water and fertilizer to provide nutrients for growth. If there are enough nutrients, the leaves will become dark green, and if there are insufficient nutrients, the leaves will turn yellow.

Measures: Add fertilizer in time, and it is better to apply acidic liquid fertilizer.

5. Pest and disease problems

Reason: During its growth process, bamboo cypress is easily attacked by pests and diseases such as red spider mites and leaf spot, which can cause partial yellowing of the leaves.

Measures: To prevent and control diseases and insect pests, the right medicine should be used. For example, Nisolan can be used to spray to kill red spider mites, and carbendazim can be sprayed to prevent leaf spot disease.
