What to do if the leaves of soil-grown ginseng ficus turn yellow

Improper lighting of ginseng fig

Ficus ginseng is light-loving. Insufficient light will cause the plant to grow slowly and the leaves to turn yellow. Although ginseng fig is a light-loving plant, if it is placed in direct sunlight for a long time, the edges of the leaves will burn or turn yellow.

In this case, the plant needs to be moved to a sunny or semi-dark place outdoors, and then moved indoors after it blooms.

Improper fertilization of Ficus ginseng

When there is too much nitrogen fertilizer or lack of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer in the potting soil, or when there is insufficient fertilizer and the potting soil is not changed for a long time, the branches will become weak and the leaves will turn yellow.

In the case of excessive nitrogen fertilizer application, the amount of watering should be increased, the fertilizer should be drained, and the pot should be immediately turned over, the soil should be washed off, and the potting soil should be replaced and replanted. In the case of insufficient fertilization, the pot should also be turned over and replaced, and then fertile and loose potting soil should be filled for recultivation. Note that water should be watered thoroughly to slow down the growth of the seedlings, and liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer should be applied after the plants have recovered.

Improper watering of Ficus ginseng

Whether it is excessive watering causing waterlogging in the potting soil, lack of oxygen and rotting of the plant roots, or insufficient watering resulting in insufficient water, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow.

In this case, control the amount of watering, loosen the soil frequently, increase ventilation, or spray water on the leaves appropriately and move the plant to a cool place.

Pests and diseases of Ficus ginseng

If scale insects harm the plants, the leaves will turn yellow or even fall off.

In this case, pests should be removed in time, and the amount of watering should be reduced, the leaves should be sprayed, the water quality should be softened, shade should be provided, fertilization should be reduced, etc.
