The reason why Monstera leaves turn yellow

1. Unsuitable soil

Reason: The basis for the growth of Monstera is soil, and its roots are fleshy roots, so it has high requirements for the soil, which needs to be kept loose and breathable. If the soil chosen is not suitable, it may cause root damage, affecting the growth of the root system, and the absorption and transportation functions will also be hindered, resulting in poor growth and the leaves becoming scorched and yellow.

Solution: If the soil is not suitable, it is necessary to replace it with suitable soil, which should be breathable and nutritious.

2. Improper watering

Reason: Improper water content can also cause leaves to turn yellow. If there is too little water, the plant will grow poorly, and if there is too much water, water will accumulate and the roots will rot.

Solution: Monstera needs to be watered regularly. If there is too little water, it needs to be watered appropriately. If there is too much water, it needs to be drained and evaporated.

3. Improper lighting

Reason: If there is a lack of sunlight, it will affect photosynthesis and there will be no nutrient synthesis, causing the leaves to turn yellow. If strong light is exposed, it will also cause burns to the edges.

Solution: Provide correct lighting, provide appropriate light when there is a lack of light, and block the light in time when it is strong.

4. Root diseases and pests

Cause: The roots are the main cause of this situation. If the roots are affected by diseases and insect pests, the plants will wither and the leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: Check the roots carefully. If they are affected by pests and diseases, they need to be dealt with in time and the diseased parts must be removed.
