What to do if the leaves of the lucky tree turn yellow

temperature

Too high a temperature can cause yellowing and leaf drop. Many friends do not pay attention to the comfort of the lucky tree when placing the plant. They usually place it very close to the air conditioner and computer. Some friends directly let the plant face the air outlet of the computer. This will make the plant very uncomfortable and it will definitely not grow well and lose leaves.

Solution

Build a shade shed for the lucky tree, increase the frequency of watering, or place the lucky tree in a ventilated and cool place with sparse shade. Remember not to place it near the air outlet of the computer. In addition, if the temperature is below 8 degrees Celsius, there will be a risk of frostbite! Also, don’t let the temperature get too low!

illumination

Too much or too little light can easily cause yellowing and leaf falling. The lucky tree is a sun-loving plant that avoids summer sunlight and needs full sunlight in other seasons.

Solution

Place the lucky tree on a balcony or other place where it can get sunlight, but be careful: it is true that the lucky tree likes light, but it does not like exposure to the sun. So when the sun is shining brightly in summer, be sure to provide shade for the lucky tree.

Watering

Too little watering causes yellowing and falling leaves. The lucky tree prefers relatively moist soil and cultivation environment.

Excessive watering will also cause water accumulation, making it difficult for the roots of the lucky tree to breathe and causing yellow leaves.

Solution

Pay attention to watering. Don't wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. If you water, water it thoroughly at once. Don't just water the top and leave the bottom dry. The principle is not to water unless the soil is dry, and if you do water, water thoroughly.

At the same time, you should also pay attention to the indoor air humidity. You can spray water around the lucky tree appropriately to increase the indoor air humidity.

You can spray the plants with clean water frequently to maintain their beautiful appearance and increase the humidity of the environment.

humidity

If the indoor air is too dry and ventilation is poor, the leaves will also become dry at the tips.

Solution

Increase indoor ventilation and appropriately increase indoor humidity. , allowing the leaves of the lucky tree to breathe more smoothly.

Fertilization

Applying too much fertilizer can easily cause seedling burn and plant yellowing.

At the same time, if too little fertilizer is applied, the leaves will turn yellow due to lack of nutrients.

Solution

If too much fertilizer is applied, you can flush water into the potting soil to dilute the fertility, but be careful not to cause water accumulation.

To address the problem of nutritional deficiency, you can apply some compound fertilizer to the lucky tree appropriately, but not too much, not too much, not too much. I must say it three times because it is important.

Metabolism

This is within the normal growth range of the plant. The lucky tree is metabolizing all the time. The old leaves turn yellow and die, and new leaves grow out to continue growing. In this case, you only need to cut off the yellow leaves, and no special maintenance is required.

Diseases

In a high temperature environment, the lucky tree is easily infected with leaf spot disease. Once infected with this disease, the leaves will turn yellow.

Solution

During the normal cultivation of the lucky tree, ventilation and light transmission should be strengthened to avoid long-term stagnation of leaves. When a small number of diseased leaves are found, remove and burn them in time, and regularly spray 600 times diluted 50% carbendazim wettable powder once every half a month for 3 to 4 times.

For home potted plants, if spots appear on a small number of leaves of individual plants, you can apply Daktarin cream ointment.

Pests

Common pests of the lucky tree are scale insects, mites, aphids and other pests. If it is infected with pests, it will also cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution

Before the pest occurs, we need to increase ventilation and light transmission, and pay attention to the temperature and humidity of the growth environment of the lucky tree. If the pest has already occurred, we must spray pesticides in time at the early stage of the occurrence to nip the danger in the bud.
