What to do if the leaves of the ball orchid turn yellow

Choice of flower pots

The reason why the Hoya turns yellow depends largely on the place where it is cultivated. Usually, when planting Hoya, you need to choose a suitable growth environment and use a sandy pot. It is best not to use plastic pots or porcelain pots. The second thing is the height of the spray. It is generally better to choose a taller flower pot, so that the root growth of the ball orchid can be more powerful. The development of the roots will affect the growth of branches and leaves. If the roots cannot develop normally, it will lead to insufficient nutrient absorption, resulting in yellow leaves. However, the flowerpot should not be too large, as it will affect the growth of the entire plant. Choose a flowerpot of appropriate size according to the size of the plant.

Use of fertilizers

When cultivating Hoya, the application of fertilizer will also affect the growth of the plant. Usually most people prefer to use the soil of their own choice for cultivation, and then use liquid fertilizer. Sometimes a small amount of fertilizer can be put at the bottom of the flowerpot as base fertilizer. Fertilizer must be used to supplement nutrients, but you must pay attention to the dosage and apply fertilizer appropriately according to the growth of the ball orchid.

illumination

Hoya likes to grow in places with light and is a shade-loving plant, so we must avoid direct sunlight to avoid unnecessary damage to the leaves. If the leaves turn yellow, it may be because there is not enough light. At this time, you need to put it in a well-lit location for maintenance. In summer, you should reduce the lighting time of the Hoya orchid and place it in a bright environment so that the leaves will not turn yellow due to strong light.
