Why are the leaves of flamingo yellow?

1. Improper lighting

Reason: Flamingo needs light to grow. If the light is not appropriate, there is a lack of light for a long time or it is directly exposed to the scorching sun, problems will occur with the leaves, causing them to age and turn yellow. Measures: Provide normal light during the growth process. When the light is not suitable, it needs to be adjusted. Strong light should be blocked in summer.

2. Improper water and fertilizer

Reason: The application of water and fertilizer is an important factor in the growth of flamingo. Growth is inseparable from water and nutrients. If there is a lack of water and fertilizer, the roots cannot absorb water and nutrients from the soil, resulting in malnutrition of the plant and yellowing of the leaves. However, if too much is applied, it will also have an impact, burden the root system, cause rot and other problems, and ultimately affect the absorption function. Measures: During the growth process, in order to achieve healthy growth, attention should be paid to the application of water and fertilizer and the dosage should be ensured. If too much is applied accidentally, it needs to be discharged in time.

3. The soil is too compacted

Reason: Soil is the basis of mixed growth. If the soil is not changed for a long time, the soil will become hardened and severely dry, making it difficult for the roots to breathe. Measures: Loosen the soil to promote soil looseness, or change the soil after a period of cultivation.

4. Infection by pests and diseases

Cause: Improper maintenance may cause the plant to be infected with pests and diseases, which can also cause yellowing. Measures: Strengthen ventilation, promote air circulation, and treat pests and diseases.
