What to do if the leaves of gardenia turn yellow and have spots

1. Proper lighting

Reason: Gardenia is a sun-loving plant. If it grows in a dark environment without light for a long time, the leaves will gradually turn yellow or even fall off. If it is exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, the leaves will also turn yellow and spots will appear.

Solution: At this time, you need to move it to a sunny place for maintenance. When the sun is strong in summer, you should shade it or move it to a cool place with scattered light.

2. Water appropriately

Cause: If watered improperly for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow and have spots. If you water too much on a regular basis, the roots will easily rot and the leaves will gradually wither and turn yellow.

Solution: If the amount of watering is too little, slowly increase the amount of watering. If the amount of watering is too much, stop watering for a short period of time and place it in a well-ventilated place for maintenance. After it resumes growing, reduce the amount of watering.

3. Scientific fertilization

Cause: This phenomenon occurs when too much fertilizer is applied or too little fertilizer is applied. If you apply too much fertilizer on a regular basis, fertilizer damage will occur, the roots will be burned, and the leaves will turn yellow.

Solution: If the amount of fertilizer is large, water more to dilute the excess fertilizer as soon as possible. After the leaves recover, maintain the plant normally. Apply fertilizer frequently and in small amounts.
