What is the reason for the yellowing of spider plants?

1. Insufficient light

Although it likes shade, it still needs a moderate amount of light to grow. If it is placed in a dark place for a long time, the leaves will easily turn yellow. It is necessary to supplement light in time and move it to a place with scattered light, but still avoid strong light, otherwise it will cause yellow leaves.

2. Too much watering

Excessive watering during maintenance and management will cause water accumulation in the potting soil, which can easily cause root rot, and the leaves will turn yellow and dry up. Stop watering immediately, drain the accumulated water, and place it in a ventilated place to evaporate the water as quickly as possible. If the problem is serious, remove the plant from the pot and change the soil.

3. Temperature discomfort

It likes a slightly warm environment. If the temperature is too high or too low during maintenance, it will grow poorly and have yellow leaves. It is best to maintain the temperature between 15 and 25 degrees, the high temperature should not be higher than 30 degrees, and the low temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees.

4. Improper fertilization

Excessive or insufficient fertilizer during maintenance can also cause yellowing of leaves. Too much fertilizer will burn the roots, and lack of fertilizer will lead to malnutrition. Normally, fertilize once every two or three weeks, using diluted liquid fertilizer.

5. Disease erosion

If it is infected with gray mold or root rot during the growth period, it will also cause yellow leaves. In this case, it is necessary to spray the corresponding medicine in time to treat it so that it is in a healthy state and can grow better.
