What to do if the gourd leaves turn yellow

1. Adjust the moisture

The yellowing of gourd leaves may be caused by improper water. Long-term lack of water will cause the leaves to turn yellow due to drought. Generally, the old leaves at the bottom turn yellow first, followed by the young leaves. Water should be applied in time. Applying too much water can cause root rot, resulting in yellowing. In this case, the young leaves turn yellow first. You need to stop watering, loosen the soil in time to allow excess water to flow out, and place the plant in a well-ventilated place to promote water evaporation.

2. Adjust fertilizer

Improper application of fertilizer is also one of the reasons. A certain amount of fertilizer supplement is needed during growth. Once fertilizer is lacking, young leaves and tender stems will turn yellow first. It is necessary to apply fertilizer in time according to the growth trend to ensure the balance of fertilizer types and the reasonable proportion of each element. If too much fertilizer is applied, the leaves will turn yellow. You can water to dilute the concentration of the fertilizer and cause the excess fertilizer to flow out from the bottom of the pot.

3. Lack of Iron

During the breeding process, the soil fertility conditions vary greatly, and yellowing of leaves may occur, mainly affecting young leaves, causing the leaf flesh to turn yellow. In this case, it is necessary to apply a solution rich in iron. You can mix cake fertilizer, ferrous sulfate and water to water the roots to alleviate the yellowing of leaves.
