What to do if Hawaiian coconut leaves turn yellow

1. Reduce light

Reason: It is a plant that is very afraid of strong light and has a high shade tolerance. If it is placed under strong light during maintenance, the leaves will be sunburned and turn yellow.

Solution: The plant should be moved to a cool place as soon as possible. It has a high shade tolerance and can grow normally even if placed in a cool place for one or two months. When caring for it, you can place it anywhere indoors in spring, autumn and summer, but it is best to place it in a place with scattered light in winter.

2. Watering in moderation

Reason: Although it likes a humid environment, if it is watered too much, water will accumulate in the pot soil and affect its growth. Once water accumulates in the soil, the roots will rot, nutrients will not be able to be transmitted, and the leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: Move the plant to a well-ventilated place to allow the moisture in the soil to evaporate as quickly as possible. In the later stage, pay attention to watering in moderation and strictly prohibit water accumulation.

3. Increase humidity

Reason: It likes an air environment with high humidity. If the air is too dry, the leaves will become dull and may even turn yellow, which will not only affect its appearance but also slow down its growth rate.

Solution: Spray water on the leaves frequently to increase the humidity. If you are worried that the soil in the pot is too moist, you can spray water around the plant.
