Should I cut off the yellow leaves of the Phoenix bamboo?

1. Should I cut it off?

The yellow leaves on the bamboo plant need to be pruned in time. Yellow leaves generally do not have the ability to grow, and will also consume the water and fertilizer content in the soil, so you should do a good job of pruning when you find the leaves turning yellow. In addition, we must find the specific cause of the yellow leaves and solve it accordingly. If you simply cut off the yellow leaves, it is very likely that this behavior will occur again.

2. Reasons

1. Lack of light: If the plant is placed in a place that is too shaded all day long, its leaves cannot carry out photosynthesis well, and yellow leaves will appear. You should let it bask in the sun, as long as it is not exposed to excessive sunlight.

2. Too much water: If there is too much water in the pot, its roots will not be able to breathe, and the leaves will turn yellow after rotting. The flower pot needs to be placed in a ventilated place to allow the moisture to evaporate as quickly as possible.

3. Fertilizer concentration: If the concentration of fertilizer applied to it is too high, it will not be able to absorb it and its leaves will turn yellow. In severe cases, the whole plant will die. Stop applying fertilizer first and water more appropriately to allow the water to wash away the fertilizer.
