What to do if the leaves of Bauhinia turn yellow

The reason why the leaves of Bauhinia turn yellow

Water yellow

The newly grown buds are slightly shriveled at the top, the young leaves turn light yellow, and the old leaves also turn dark yellow. This is because there is too much water in the Bauhinia pot, it is damp for a long time, the soil cannot breathe, there is a lack of oxygen, and some of the fibrous roots rot.

Fat Yellow

The new leaves are thick and shiny, but the leaf surface is uneven, and the old leaves gradually turn yellow and die. This is caused by the failure to properly control the amount of fertilizer.

Early yellow

The top and new leaves of the Bauhinia plant are growing normally, but the leaves on the lower part and inner part of the plant are drying up, turning yellow, and falling off first. This is caused by long-term improper watering. The potted flowers are dehydrated due to lack of long-term thorough watering.

Hungry Yellow

The growth of Bauhinia requires a living space that matches its shape and size. If the pot is small and the seedling is large, there is insufficient fertilizer and water, and the fibrous roots are too dense but there is too little soil in the pot, the leaves of Bauhinia will turn yellow.

Shade Yellow

Bauhinia likes places with plenty of sunlight, so if the Bauhinia potted plants are often placed in a shady place, the leaves will not get light and cannot carry out photosynthesis, the leaves will become thinner, the color will become lighter, turn yellow, and fall off.

What to do if the leaves of Bauhinia turn yellow

Proper watering

To deal with the phenomenon of yellowing at high temperatures or early yellowing, you need to control watering and stop fertilizing, and keep the pot moist for a long time. Except for July and August, when watering is determined based on precipitation, water thoroughly once from April to October, and water with antifreeze water before winter.

In summer, spray the leaves frequently and also spray the surrounding environment to maintain relative humidity of the air.

Reasonable fertilization

If the plant turns yellow, you need to stop fertilizing immediately, water more appropriately, and mix the fertilizer solution.

You can sprinkle some radish or cabbage seeds into the flowerpot, and then pull them out after they sprout, which can use up the excess fertilizer in the flowerpot.

Change the pot in time

To deal with the phenomenon of yellowing due to starvation, it is necessary to replace the Bauhinia with a larger flowerpot in time, and cut off the old and dense branches to prevent nutrient loss.

Increase lighting

To prevent shade-yellowing, you should increase the light intensity for Bauhinia and place the potted plant in a place where it can receive sunlight. It does not need to be shaded in the summer and should also be placed in a sunny south-facing place in the winter.
