What to do if the leaves of freesia turn yellow

1. Water yellow:

The yellowing of freesia leaves may be caused by over-watering, which causes water accumulation in the pot and causes the leaf tips to turn yellow. The main symptoms are that the young leaves are dark yellow and dull, wilting and drooping, the old leaves have no obvious changes, the branches are slender and yellow-green, and the new shoots are short, shrunken and not growing.

If you overwater, remove the plant from the pot and place it in a cool and ventilated place. Wait for the soil to dry naturally and then put it back into the pot.

2. Burning yellow:

Freesia is a short-day plant that prefers shade. If it is exposed to strong sunlight or is kept in the shade for a long time and then suddenly moved to the sun, the leaves can be easily burned, causing the leaf tips and edges to dry out, and yellow spots to appear on the sunny parts of the leaves.

The leaves of the plant will turn yellow due to burns, so they should be shaded in time and placed in semi-shade for a few weeks before gradually moving into the sun.

3. Dry yellow:

Plants lack water and the soil is dry, which will cause the edges of the leaves to dry up and the old leaves to turn yellow and fall off from the bottom to the top, while new leaves will grow normally.

Be careful to water thoroughly and check the moisture of the potting soil frequently to ensure it is moist. When the temperature is high and the water evaporates quickly, you can sprinkle water appropriately to increase the air humidity.

4. Fat and yellow:

Excessive fertilization at too high a concentration will cause the leaves to turn yellow, with the tips of new leaves becoming dry brown, the leaves becoming thin and dull, and the surface being uneven and not stretched, and old leaves becoming scorched and falling off.

Stop fertilizing and watering to dilute the fertilizer in the soil. If the disease is serious, just remove the pot and change the soil.

5. Lack of light yellow:

Most home-grown flowers are placed on windowsills or balconies, but many families place them next to TV cabinets or coffee tables for aesthetics. The plants do not receive sufficient light, making it difficult for them to form green leaves, and the entire plant's leaves will gradually turn yellow and fall off.

Move the plant into the sun to provide additional light.

6. Lack of fertilizer and yellowing:

The plant's lack of fertilizer will cause the young leaves to become dull and yellow-green in color, while the old leaves will grow normally in the early stages and gradually turn from green to yellow in the later stages.

Check the soil in the pot regularly, and replace it in time if it is dry. When applying fertilizer, pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently and water some alum water at the right time.
