What to do if the leaves of Gloxinia turn yellow

reason

Overwatering

The maintenance of Gloxinia requires high air humidity, but it does not mean that you need to water it more. Uneven watering or excessive watering will cause the leaves to turn yellow and rot.

Too little light

Gloxinia prefers a semi-shaded environment, but not complete shade. The leaves will change color if they are not exposed to sunlight for a long time.

Improper fertilization

When applying fertilizer, if you accidentally get fertilizer on the leaves, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and rot.

Solution

Proper watering

Be careful to water Gloxinia less often and don’t water it unless the soil is dry.

In winter, Gloxinia enters a dormant period and you can stop watering it.

Do not water the leaves. There are hairs on the leaves of Gloxinia, and watering will cause water stains and rot.

Absorbs sufficient scattered light

Place the Gloxinia in a place where it can absorb scattered light on a daily basis, but avoid direct sunlight. If it is in the winter seedling stage, it should receive sufficient sunlight.

Cleaning Leaves After Fertilizing

After each fertilization, wash the leaves with clean water and wipe off the water immediately to avoid leaf rot.
