What to do if the stems and leaves of Asparagus turn yellow

Lack of nutrients causes yellowing of stems and leaves

The yellowing of asparagus leaves may be caused by lack of nutrition. When planting asparagus in a pot, the tubers in the pot will become numerous and tangled after the asparagus grows and develops, which will lead to insufficient nutrients in the pot. At this time, we have to divide the asparagus or repot it. After dividing or repotting the asparagus, water it with some dilute fertilizer and the leaves will gradually turn green again.

Yellowing of stems and leaves due to improper fertilization

If some uncomposted organic fertilizer is applied during the growth period of Asparagus, it will easily cause the phenomenon of "root burn", which will result in a large number of yellow leaves and dead branches of Asparagus. Therefore, when fertilizing Asparagus, we must apply decomposed liquid fertilizer, apply a small amount of fertilizer each time, and apply it several times to ensure that the Asparagus has sufficient fertilizer and absorbs it well.

Yellowing of stems and leaves due to excessive light

If young asparagus plants are placed directly under strong sunlight, it is very easy for the stems and leaves of the asparagus to turn yellow. When we plant Asparagus, we must be careful not to let strong sunlight shine on the Asparagus plants. In summer, we must build a hidden shed to prevent sun exposure. Asparagus is more suitable for growing in semi-shaded places.

Yellowing of stems and leaves due to lack of light

Although Asparagus cochinchinensis cannot be exposed to strong light, long-term lack of sunlight will also cause the leaves of Asparagus cochinchinensis to turn yellow. We cannot plant Asparagus in an extremely cool place. In spring and autumn, Asparagus can be planted in a slightly shady place. In summer, a hidden shed needs to be built, and in winter, Asparagus also needs to be planted in a sunny place.
