What to do if the leaves of dragon bone flower turn yellow

1. Normal reasons

The leaves of the dragon bone flower will turn yellow due to a variety of factors. First of all, the leaves of the dragon bone flower will turn yellow when the leaves are falling. Usually during the period of leaf shedding of the dragon bone flower, the yellowing of the leaves is a relatively normal phenomenon. We only need to remove the yellow leaves.

2. Proper watering

The second phenomenon may be caused by too much watering of the dragon bone flower. If we water it too much, water will accumulate at the roots of the dragon bone flower, affecting the nutrient absorption of the root system and causing the roots to rot, thus resulting in yellow leaves. Once this happens, stop watering immediately. The dragon bone flower will go dormant in winter, so it is not suitable for too much water at this time. It is fine to water it once every one or two months. In spring, a thorough watering once every half a month is sufficient. The evaporation rate is relatively high in summer, so watering is needed once a day in the morning and evening to avoid yellowing leaves.

3. Reasonable lighting

The third reason may be due to light problems. The intensity of light will affect the color of the leaves of the dragon bone flower. In summer, the sunlight is relatively strong, and we usually need to take shading measures to avoid damage to the leaves by strong light. The sunlight is relatively weak in winter, so appropriate lighting is needed to promote better growth of the leaves of the dragon bone flower. It can usually be placed in front of a window or under a balcony.

4. Appropriate fertilization

The fourth reason may be that too much fertilizer is applied when managing the dragon bone flower. The fertility demand of the dragon bone flower can be met with a small amount. Generally, during its vigorous growth period, it can grow healthily and vigorously once a month.

5. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

The last reason is that the leaves of the dragon bone flower may have been attacked by pests and diseases, resulting in this phenomenon. We can use antibacterial agents for irrigation, which can effectively prevent and control the intrusion of pests and diseases.
