What to do if the lotus leaves turn yellow

1. Get more sun

(1) Specific reason: Lotus likes sunshine. If there is insufficient light, it cannot fully carry out photosynthesis and the leaves may turn yellow.

(2) Solution: Get more sun exposure. Plants grown at home can be placed in a sunny place, but not too shady.

2. Add fertilizer

(1) Specific reasons: The newly grown leaves often turn yellow, while the old leaves are relatively normal. This phenomenon often occurs during the growth period. The types of fertilizers that are lacking are mostly nitrogen fertilizers and phosphorus fertilizers.

(2) Solution: Supplement nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers in appropriate amounts, but the concentration should not be too high and the amount should not be too large.

3. Add some ferrous sulfate

(1) Specific reasons: If the plant is grown in water, the water may be alkaline; if the plant is grown in soil, the soil may be alkaline. Either way, it will affect the plant's ability to absorb trace elements and cause the leaves to turn yellow.

(2) Solution: You can replace soil and water, or add some ferrous sulfate.

4. Place in a warm place

(1) Specific reasons: The plant is not very cold-resistant. When the temperature drops sharply and it is frozen, or when the temperature difference is too large, the leaves will easily turn yellow.

(2) Solution: Place in a warm place. In addition, we must also pay attention to controlling the temperature difference, which should not be too large.

5. Disease prevention and control

(1) Specific reasons: The plant is more threatened by fungal diseases, which will cause large yellow spots.

Solution: You can spray carbendazim, but not too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
