How to deal with pothos with yellowing leaves at home?

The reasons include improper watering, unbalanced light, and incorrect fertilization, and the reasons for the occurrence of yellow leaves in pothos are analyzed, and Xiaoyou gives corresponding remedial measures.

It is necessary to first check what are the causes of yellow leaves of pothos, and then according to the specific situation, to treat the yellow leaves of pothos, there are many cases of yellow leaves of pothos.

1. If it is winter, one of the biggest factors is the temperature of the environment, low temperature will cause yellow leaves, falling phenomenon, the other is too much watering, winter plants can not be overwatered, reduce the amount of watering, keep the room temperature not too low.

2. If you do not prune for a long time, the plants are too dense and impermeable to the wind, resulting in yellow leaves, and the dense treatment of the plants can be solved by changing pots or dividing plants, and a small amount of pothos pots can be pulled out directly from the vigorous pothos pots to comb the branches and leaves.

3. If the amount of fertilization is not controlled in winter, it will also cause the yellow leaves of pothos, because the pothos grows faster, the root system grows more vigorously, and the fertilizer will burn the roots of the pothos, causing the leaves to turn yellow, and the best solution for the yellow leaves of pothos caused by fertilization is to change the soil.

4. When watering pothos, the water in the pot can not be discharged in time, resulting in rotten roots, and pothos will also appear in a large area of yellow leaves, which is especially serious caused by watering.

5. The pothos just bought from the flower market has yellow leaves, this is because of environmental problems, the flowers and plants just bought are just full from the warm greenhouse, and the leaves of the pothos will turn yellow if they can't withstand low temperatures. It can be placed close to the heat, do not bask in the sun, and humidify it with a watering can to increase the humidity of the surrounding air, which can reduce the chance of yellow leaves.

Notes:

1. The leaves will be yellow if the pothos is fertilized more, and it will be yellow if it is not fertilized, so it is good to fertilize it moderately.

2. The fertilization of pothos is usually done once every half a month, and the fertilization should be followed by watering.

There are many possible reasons for the yellowing of pothos leaves, and here are some possible solutions:

Check the amount of watering: Overwatering is one of the main causes of yellowing of pothos leaves. You should wait until the surface of the potting soil is dry before watering to avoid overwetting the potting soil.

Check for nutrients**: A lack of nutrients can also cause pothos leaves to turn yellow. It can be supplemented with a moderate amount of fertilizer, but do not overdo it.

Check the light: Insufficient light is also one of the reasons why pothos leaves turn yellow. Pothos can be moved to a more well-lit location.

Pest control: Foliar gray mold and other pests and diseases can also cause pothos leaves to turn yellow, so they should be detected in time and corresponding control measures should be taken.

If none of the above methods work, it is recommended to repot the pothos and replace it with new soil. In addition, pay attention to the timely removal of yellow leaves and pests and diseases of pothos, and keep the indoor environment clean and hygienic, which helps to promote the healthy growth of pothos.

Treatment method for yellowing pothos leaves:

Too much water, too little sunlight, too much or too little fertilizer will cause yellowing of leaves, but the yellowing situation is different, and the causes should be carefully observed and analyzed, and corrected.

Water yellow: the young leaves are dark yellow and dull, the old leaves have no obvious changes, the branches are small yellow-green, and the new shoots are shrunk and not long, indicating excessive watering. Depot the flowers, put them in a ventilated and cool shade, and dry the soil ball before putting them back into the pot.

Dry yellow: the yellow of lack of water is not the same as the yellow of more water, the yellow of lack of water is the withering and dry leaf tips or edges, and the old leaves are withered and yellow from the bottom to the top, but the growth of new leaves is relatively normal. Pay attention to watering when watering enough, water thoroughly.

Seared yellow. The strong sunlight shoots directly on some shade-loving flowers (such as spider plant, hosta, etc.), which is easy to cause the leaf tips and leaf margins of flowers to wither, and the sunny part of the leaves appears yellow spots. Move to the pubic area.

Lack of light yellow: If the leaves are shaded for a long time, the leaves cannot get enough sunlight to form chlorophyll, and the whole leaves turn yellow and then fall off, and the disease can be avoided by supplementing light.

Fat yellow: excessive fertilization or excessive concentration causes the yellowing of oak flowers, which is manifested in dry brown at the top of the new leaves, and the general leaf surface is thick and dull, and the concave and convex are not stretched, and the old leaves are scorched and yellow. Fertilization should be stopped immediately, and the devastated part of the fertilizer should be washed with a large amount of cleaning.

Lack of fat yellow. It is manifested in the color of young leaves becoming lighter, yellow or light green, while old leaves are more normal or gradually turning from green to yellow. Check the potting soil, if there is a dry knot, the soil should be changed, and the thin fertilizer should be applied frequently and some alum water should be poured in a timely manner.

Pothos leaves yellowing, for hydroponic pothos the biggest reason is that there are bacteria in the water, if it is soil cultivation may be the cause of pothos root rot, hydroponic pothos is more likely to yellow than soil cultivated pothos, the specific pothos leaves yellowing factors mainly include improper watering, light imbalance, incorrect fertilization and other three aspects.

When the pothos is yellow, find the cause of the yellowing first, and then solve the symptoms!

1. Soybean water.

Water the pothos with soybean water. The reason is simple, soybeans are rich in nitrogen. The soybeans are boiled and crushed, then packed with water in an airtight container to allow the soybeans to fully ferment.

When fermentation is complete, remove the mixture. Then add an appropriate amount of water to dilute the pothos and water it. This not only replenishes nutrients, but also promotes the growth of pothos.

And it can quickly make the pothos become green and green, and make the pothos grow more lush.

2. Wash rice water.

When it comes to watering flowers, everyone can think of rice water. And pothos is no exception. Because the rice washing water is rich in organic matter and potassium elements, especially in the case of decay, the rice washing water is used to water the pothos, which can better promote the growth of the pothos and make the yellow leaves disappear quickly.

This method is also very simple, directly put the rice washing water in a closed container, let it fully ferment, pour it out and add an appropriate amount of water to dilute it, you can water the pothos, the operation method is actually the same as soybean water.

3. Almighty soil.

Pothos is a shade-loving plant that prefers to grow in warm, moist environments. This requires the soil to be loose and breathable, and the water permeability must meet the standard. At the same time, the requirements for the soil are also very high.

Because when the nutrients are insufficient, pothos will be malnourished, resulting in yellow leaves. If we can configure a nutrient-rich all-purpose soil, we will solve the problem of malnutrition. It is recommended to use humus soil.

Mixed soil made by mixing pine needle soil and egg shells together. Why? Because pine needle soil can improve the permeability of the soil, and humus soil has good nutrients and is quite fertile.

Eggshells can raise the calcium content of the soil. By combining these soils properly, you can bring pothos back to life.

1. Yellow pothos leaves caused by excessive watering.

If the pothos is overwatered, there will be yellowing of the leaves, sometimes when we raise flowers, it is easy to care too much, so we will keep watering the pothos, which is easy to cause overwatering, and the consequence of overwatering is that the pothos leaves are yellow, as if they are sick. Therefore, we should pay more attention when watering pothos at ordinary times and not water too much.

How to solve: If the leaves of the pothos are yellow because of excessive watering, then we have to take certain measures, otherwise, it is easy to cause the death of the pothos. Therefore, it is best to depot the pothos, then repot the pothos, and then maintain it according to the habits of the pothos.

2. Strong light irradiation causes pothos leaves to turn yellow.

We all know that pothos likes a warm and humid environment, usually it is best to accept the radiation of scattered light can not accept the radiation of strong sunlight, otherwise it is easy to cause the leaves to yellow, and even can not feed the situation, we must not put the pothos in a shady place or accept the radiation of scattered light when raising pothos.

How to solve: If it is because of the problem of light, it is recommended to put the pothos in a shady place immediately, and you can also properly water the pothos to keep it moist.

3. Improper fertilization causes the leaves of pothos to turn yellow.

As we all know, when flowers are cultivated, they must be fertilized after a certain time, and pothos is no exception. But fertilization must be appropriate, not too much and not too little, too much too little will make the pothos appear yellowing leaves, so, if it is because of improper fertilization, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is too much fertilizer or too little.

How to solve: If there is a new leaf with brown tips, it is too much fertilizer, it is recommended to change the potting soil, or wash off part of the fertilizer to reduce the situation of bad leaves. If the color is pale or a little yellowish on the new leaves, it is recommended to apply some thin fertilizer.

Solution: Avoid direct sunlight.

2. Lack of sunlight causes pothos leaves to turn yellow (lack of light yellow).

If the leaves are shaded for a long time, the leaves will not get enough sunlight to form chlorophyll, and the whole leaves will turn yellow and then fall off.

Solution: Move to a well-lit area.

3. Overwatering causes the pothos leaves to turn yellow (water yellow).

The young leaves are dark yellow and dull, the old leaves have no obvious changes, the branches are small yellow-green, and the new shoots are shrunk and not long, indicating excessive watering.

Solution: Depot the pothos in a ventilated and cool place, and wait for the soil to dry before putting it back into the pot.

There are medicine sellers in the flower market, you can just ask, it's not expensive, and you can wipe the leaves with beer, they all say that it will be much brighter.

This is a manifestation of poor growth, lack of nutrients.

It may be that improper watering causes the leaves to turn yellow, the root system can be checked, and it can be treated according to the specific situation.

Watering too much or too little can cause the pothos leaves to turn yellow. Excessive watering and poor soil permeability are prone to poor root breathing, resulting in root rot and yellowing of leaves; Insufficient watering does not provide sufficient water for pothos to grow, resulting in yellowing of the leaves.

Solution: Increase the amount of watering if the watering is insufficient; If you overwater, you should drain the stagnant water and check the root system. If there is a rotten root, cut off the rotten roots, and soak the solution for about 30 minutes, carry out full sterilization, dry and change the potted plant.

Or after draining the stagnant water, place the flower pot in a ventilated place to promote the evaporation of water. Daily maintenance can also be sprayed once a month with mildew solution to prevent root rot.

Pothos maintenance tips

1. The best temperature for the growth of pothos is around 22°C-26°C.

2. The best light environment for maintaining pothos is an environment that can receive light for a short time, pothos is not tolerant to strong light, do not expose pothos to the sun.

3. Pothos likes water, can be cultivated and protected with pure water, and attention should be paid to avoid water shortage during the maintenance period.

4. Our family raises pothos, it is best to use loose and breathable nutrient soil, although pothos is easier to raise, not much soil, but if the soil is too sticky, poor air permeability, it is easy to rot the roots because of stuffy roots.

5. To judge the acidity and alkalinity of a plant like soil, we can make a basic judgment through the native place, the origin of pothos is in the tropical rainforest area, and the soil in the rainforest must be dominated by rotten leaves and dead branches, so the best soil for raising pothos is weakly acidic and rich in humus.
