What to do if the aloe leaves turn yellow and shrunken

Environmental changes

Sudden changes in the growing environment will cause aloe vera to be unable to adapt, causing the leaves to turn yellow. Sudden changes in the temperature and humidity of the growing environment, or root damage due to repotting, changes in the acidity and alkalinity of the soil, etc. can all cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution

Try to keep the environment the same, or gradually change its environment to allow it to adapt.

Watering amount

Too much or too little watering will cause the leaves to turn yellow. The leaves will gradually turn light yellow, dull, and gradually turn yellow and fall off.

Solution

Water appropriately, stop fertilizing, keep the soil loose and ventilated, and strengthen the management of water and fertilizer.

Temperature changes

The growth temperature of aloe vera should be kept between 5-25℃, neither too high nor too low. If it is too high, the aloe vera will lack water, and the leaves will turn yellow and fall off; if it is too low, the leaves will be frostbitten, causing frost damage and causing the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution

In spring and autumn, aloe vera can be allowed to absorb more sunlight. In the hot summer, the plant should not be allowed to absorb sunlight directly. It should be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light for maintenance. In winter, it should be brought indoors to maintain a certain temperature for maintenance.

Fertilization

Lack of fertilization and lack of nutrition will make it difficult for aloe vera to grow and develop.

Solution

During the growth and maintenance process, aloe vera should be fertilized in time for maintenance. For example, the pot should be turned over in time, new culture soil should be replaced and liquid fertilizer should be applied to ensure the growth of the plant.

Pests and diseases

The occurrence of diseases and pests is also the reason why aloe leaves turn yellow. If yellow spots or severe patches appear, the entire leaf will turn yellow and fall off.

Solution

When pests and diseases are discovered, pesticides such as omethoate should be sprayed as soon as possible for prevention and control.
