Why are the leaves of the peace lily turning yellow?

1. Waterlogging and root rot

Reason: During the growth of the peace lily, if you water it too much, the roots of the plant cannot absorb too much water. In addition, the accumulated water cannot be discharged, and the root system will rot, causing the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: Use clean scissors to cut off the rotten roots, disinfect them and replant them. It is not suitable to water too much in the later stage. A moist state is best to prevent the roots of the plant from rotting again.

2. Low temperature damage

Reason: If the temperature is too low during the winter, or if the plant is kept outdoors, it will be frozen by the low temperature, resulting in some adverse symptoms, the most common of which is yellow leaves.

Solution: Pay attention to frost prevention after the beginning of winter, and move the frozen plants back indoors immediately. However, the temperature cannot rise sharply. The room temperature should be increased gradually to avoid discomfort to the plants.

3. Pest and disease damage

Reason: If pests appear on the peace holly tree during maintenance, or it is infected with bacteria, its growth will be seriously hindered. The insects will erode its leaves, causing them to turn yellow.

Solution: Check carefully, find the root cause, and buy medicine for spraying. If the roots are rotten, pruning and disinfection are also necessary.
