How to save the green radish from turning yellow, the causes and treatment methods

1. Reasons

1. Improper watering: Watering too frequently during maintenance and the soil being too moist will hinder the root breathing, causing the leaves to become dull and yellow, and the branches to become thinner. Of course, watering too little is not good either. Dry soil in the pot is not conducive to the growth of the plant and will also cause yellowing and drying.

2. Unsuitable light: It prefers a relatively cool environment. If it is placed in strong light during maintenance, the leaves will be sunburned, causing yellowing and wilting. In addition, if the leaves are kept in a dark place for a long time, they will turn yellow due to lack of chlorophyll.

3. Improper fertilization: If fertilizer is not supplemented during maintenance for a long time, the plant will lack nutrients and the young leaves will turn pale and yellow, while the old leaves will become burnt and dull. If fertilizer is applied too frequently, in excessive amounts or at too high a concentration, new leaves will turn dry brown and old leaves will turn yellow and fall off.

2. Treatment methods

1. Water in moderation: Do not water excessively during maintenance, just keep the soil in the pot moist. When watering, it is best to spray water on the root system in an appropriate amount. In summer, increase the amount of water according to the temperature, and control the water in winter when the temperature is low. If the soil is too moist, remove the plant from the pot and move it to a ventilated place. Let the soil dry before re-maintaining it. If you water too little, add water in time.

2. Reasonable lighting: It is best to give occasional scattered light exposure. Avoid strong light in summer and get more sun exposure in winter. If the plant is yellowed by strong light, you should water it appropriately and move it to a cool place with weak light. If there is a lack of light, place it in a well-lit area and provide timely light supplement.

3. Apply fertilizer in moderation: Apply fertilizer in moderation during maintenance. Liquid fertilizer will do. Apply more fertilizer in summer and control fertilizer in slow-growth seasons. If you fertilize too frequently, stop immediately, rinse the fertilizer with clean water, and change the soil if necessary.
