What to do if the leaves of Schefflera turn yellow

1. Proper watering

Reason: The yellowing of Schefflera leaves may be caused by the soil in the pot being too dry or too wet. If the soil in the pot is too dry, the leaves will lack water and turn yellow. If the soil is too wet, the roots may rot, causing the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: If the yellowing is caused by the above reasons, simply replenishing or controlling water can effectively improve and control this phenomenon. If it is caused by overhumidity, the yellowing trend may last longer, and it will be a slow transformation process after water control.

2. Proper fertilization

Reason: The yellowing of its leaves may also be caused by improper fertilization. If a large amount of fertilizer or uncomposted fertilizer is applied suddenly, the leaves of the Schefflera will turn yellow.

Solution: If it is caused by fertilization, you must water it in time to achieve the effect of fertilizer discharge, and you may even need to change the pot and pour the soil to control the amount of fertilizer in the soil to control the yellowing phenomenon.

3. Suitable lighting

Reason: If you place it under direct sunlight for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow, which is called sunburn.

Solution: The problem of yellowing due to excessive light is easier to solve. Move the Schefflera to a place with scattered light and maintain it for a period of time and it will return to normal.
