What to do if banyan leaves turn yellow

1. Reasonable watering

Prolonged lack of water or excessive watering can cause its leaves to turn yellow. If it is overwatered, we can pick off the yellow leaves, then reduce watering and place it in a cool and ventilated place. If you water too little, you need to increase the amount of watering appropriately, and make sure to water sufficiently and thoroughly.

2. Correct fertilization

Incorrect fertilization can also cause its leaves to turn yellow. If there is a lack of fertilizer for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow due to insufficient nutrition. At this time, we need to apply appropriate amounts of fertilizer. We can spray a low-concentration urea solution or potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, but the concentration of the fertilizer should not be too high, and the amount should not be too much. If too much fertilizer is applied, stop fertilizing immediately and water the pot to dilute the fertilizer.

3. Deal with root rot in time

Many times, the yellowing of leaves on this plant is often caused by root rot. At this time we should deal with these rotten roots in time. We can carefully take it out of the pot, then find the rotten roots and cut them off. In order to prevent invasion by bacteria, etc., you can apply an appropriate amount of carbendazim powder on the wound.

4. Timely resolve diseases and pests

Diseases and insect pests are also likely to cause the leaves of this plant to turn yellow. If it is an insect pest, it is necessary to eliminate the insects in time. This plant is usually prone to attracting scale insects or red spiders, and you can spray it with pesticides that target these two insects. If it is a disease, you can spray the corresponding antibiotics against the disease.
