    The yellowing of the lower leaves of the spider plant is mainly due to too many leaves, that is, the plant is too large, resulting in poor ventilation in the small environment.

    Of course, this is also the case if the light is weak for a long time, the ventilation is poor, and the watering is dry and wet.

    The light needs to be scattered, and it can be full sun in winter.

    There must be proper ventilation, long-term canopy closure is not conducive to the growth of the whole plant.

    Watering should be watered thoroughly when the topsoil is dry, not dry for a few days and wet for a few days.

    First of all, look at whether the leaves are rotten, if there is, it may be that there is too much water, if not, it may be.

    1.If the potting soil is dry or the soil quality is too poor and not loose, the root growth is not good, causing the old leaves to grow unrobustly. You can buy some good soil, such as peat soil, and repot the spider plant.

    2.Is it the reason why you haven't been fat for a long time?

    Hello, there are many reasons for the yellowing of spider plants, you can judge which phenomenon is according to the growth of your hanging basket, and then manage it.

    Hanging basket 1, lack of fertilizer.

    Flower friends have tried to plant a pot of spider plant with pure sand, the initial growth is very good, but the leaves are yellowish in the later stage, unhealthy state, we all know that there are no nutrients in the pure sand, so if the spider plant at home has not been fertilized for a long time, you can consider giving some nitrogen-based fertilizer, it is recommended to use water-soluble fertilizers, such as fertile leaf foliar fertilizer, which can supplement nutrients, and can also increase the ornamentality of the hanging basket and increase the brightness of the leaves.

    2. Lack of water. This situation generally does not exist, because spider plants are fleshy roots and have a strong ability to store water, but flower friends can check it, since it is said that water, let's talk about stagnant water, fleshy roots, can store water, but are afraid of stagnant water, so remember not to accumulate water in the pot for a long time.

    3. Overwatering.

    Yellow water is caused by long-term water, the solution can start from the deduction of water, do not dry and water, dry and watered, dry and wet in order to ensure that there is enough water in the soil, there is also an indispensable small air in the roots of plants.

    4. Too little light.

    Spider plants are semi-shaded flowers, but they also need light, so they should be given at least 4 to 5 hours of light per day. Otherwise, the chlorophyll decreases and the leaves will also turn yellow.

    Treatment: The best way is to place it indoors under an incandescent lamp or place it on a balcony for farming.

    5. The potting soil is not breathable.

    The permeability and permeability of the potting soil are not good, resulting in long-term water accumulation in the potting soil and difficulty in root respiration, so the leaves naturally turn yellow.

    Treatment: At this time, the soil should be loosened and the moisture should be controlled in time. Fifth, long-term watering is impervious. The roots of the spider plant lose water, and the lower old leaves turn yellow. It should be watered thoroughly to keep the potting soil warm and moist.

    6. Do not turn over the pot for a long time.

    It has not been repotted for a long time. The various nutrients contained in the potting soil have been depleted, and the three elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium have not been replenished in time, the plants lack nutrients, and the leaves appear yellow and thin. It should be replaced with fertile loam soil and alum fertilizer water in time.

    The first one is related to watering.

    The root system of the spider plant is a fleshy root, which stores a lot of water, so the spider plant is still slightly drought tolerant, once watered too much, the excess water can not be discharged, the root system can not breathe, and will eventually be reflected on the leaves, at first it may be that the leaves at the bottom have a yellowing phenomenon At this time, we should pay more attention to observation, watering can not be watered so much, if there is a good improvement for a period of time, there is no problem, cut off the yellow leaves, if it is serious, there will be rotten roots, this is more troublesome, it needs to be re-cultivated.

    The second one is related to temperature.

    Yellow leaves appear in winter spider plant, mainly related to low temperature, below 10 degrees, it is necessary to control the water and bask in the sun, below five degrees should basically be yellow leaves, this condition is difficult to feed the spider plant.

    The third is that the potting soil has not been replaced for a long time, and the compaction is not breathable.

    The root system is too full, it can't grow, there will be yellow leaves, you can change the pot in time, it's autumn if your spider plant is not in good condition, you can also change the pot now, you can completely recover the growth in a month, and if there is heating at home in winter, you can grow normally.

    1. The depletion of nutrients in the soil leads to the yellowing of the leaves of the spider plant (water yellow): the soil has not been turned over for a long time, the soil is compacted, and when all the nutrients in the pot are depleted, the three most important elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are lacking and the leaves gradually turn yellow. Workaround:

    At this time, the soil should be replaced or replaced with fertile loam soil and watering alum fertilizer in time.

    2. Long-term lack of water leads to yellowing of spider plant leaves (dry yellow): long-term watering but cannot be watered thoroughly, resulting in the loss of water in the roots of spider plants, and the lower old leaves turn yellow. The solution to Yutan is that it should be watered immediately to keep the potting soil warm and moist.

    3. Poor permeability of potting soil leads to yellowing of spider plant leaves: the permeability and permeability of potting soil are not good, resulting in long-term water accumulation in the potting soil and difficulty in root respiration, so the leaves are naturally yellow. Solution: At this time, the soil should be loosened and the moisture should be controlled in time.

    4. Lack of sunlight leads to yellowing of spider plant leaves (lack of light yellow): insufficient light causes the chlorophyll of spider plant to be low, and the leaves will also turn yellow. Solution: The best way is to place it indoors under an incandescent lamp or place it on a balcony for farming.

    5. Excessive fertilization of spider plants leads to yellowing of leaves (fat yellow): the fertilizer exceeds the demand of the plant, and the leaves will appear bright and uneven after fertilization, and then the root system will be yellow due to malnutrition after partial decay. Workaround:

    At this time, it is also a good idea to stop fertilizing, water more, or wash the roots once in a rice pot, and replace the soil with a new one. The concentration of soil fluid in visible space is important.

    It is a semi-shaded plant and cannot be exposed to bright light. If it is placed in direct light during the maintenance period, especially in summer, the light is too strong and the leaves will sunburn, easy to appear yellowing, and in severe cases, it will dry up and fall. Be sure to move to a dark place in time, or build a shade shelter where it is placed.

    During the breeding period, it is necessary to water reasonably, and it can be seen that the dry is wet and watered. Pay attention to the amount of watering each time should not be too much, and there should be no stagnant water, otherwise it will be easy to root after a long time, and it will appear as yellow leaves. If you water too much, stop it immediately, and loosen the soil to speed up the evaporation of water.

    If the situation is more serious, it is recommended to remove the pot and cut off all the rotten roots, and then repot.

    It needs a certain amount of fertilizer to grow, but it can only be applied thinly and diligently. If the amount of fertilizer applied at one time is too large or the concentration is too high, the roots will be burned, and the leaves will be easy to turn yellow. If this situation results in this, it should be diluted with water, so that the excess fertilizer can be diluted and drained from the bottom of the pot.

    If the situation is more serious, it is recommended to change the soil and pot directly.

    It has high requirements for temperature, and high or low temperature must be controlled in time. If you do not ventilate, shade, and sprinkle water in time in summer to cool down, the high temperature will affect the growth, and the phenomenon of yellow leaves will appear. In winter, if the temperature is lower than 5 degrees Celsius, frostbite will also appear, and yellow leaves will appear.

    Be sure to move indoors to provide a warm environment.

    Causes of yellowing of spider plant leaves:

    1. Watering too much.

    During the breeding of spider plant, too much watering, soil moisture is too large, water will accumulate after a long time, resulting in root phenomenon, leaves will gradually yellow, wilting, at this time to stop the water immediately, but also to loosen the soil, accelerate the evaporation of water, if the situation is more serious, it is recommended to depot the rotten roots to cut off.

    2. The light is too strong.

    Spider plant is a semi-shaded plant, not resistant to strong light exposure, if it is placed in direct light during the maintenance period, especially in the summer sunshine, the leaves will be burned, resulting in yellowing, and in serious cases, it will dry up and fall, must be moved to a dark place in time, so that the spider plant recovers.

    3. Apply thick fertilizer.

    Spider plant growth needs a certain amount of fertilizer, but can only be applied thinly and diligently, if the amount of fertilizer applied at one time is too large or the concentration is too high, it will burn the roots, resulting in yellowing of the leaves, this situation should be watered with water to dilute, so that the excess fertilizer liquid flows out from the bottom of the pot.

    4. The temperature is uncomfortable.

    Spider plant has higher requirements for temperature, high temperature or low temperature is not conducive to growth, if the summer is not timely ventilation, shading, there will be yellow leaves, winter temperature is lower than 5 degrees, the plant will be frostbitten, so yellow leaves.

    This question should be put together.

    The first problem arises when the soil is very good, that is, it is dry.

    Spider plants are placed near the water, and the roots can't die in the water, and they are extremely resistant to moisture.

    However, if the soil quality is poor, it is not easy to say, the soil is compact, not breathable, not conducive to water, and there will be yellow leaves, which is generally said to be wet!

    Here to determine whether it is dry or wet, first of all, it depends on the condition of your potting soil If the potting soil is still loose and not compact, it is absolutely dry!

    This will give you a knowledge of the interrelationship between water, gas and fertilizer in the soil, and I will try to make it as simple as possible.

    More water means less air, and the respiration of the roots is affected. At this time, coupled with the fertilizer element of the soil, a lot of harmful substances to the root system will be generated, at this time the root system is damaged, for plants with strong vitality and recovery ability, if the situation is improved, it will recover quickly, and the performance of the upper branches and leaves is not particularly strong But for plants with weak vitality and recovery ability, the situation that manifests itself in the upper part is yellow leaves Wilting Even the wilted leaves have a feeling of wateriness, and the petiole is not easy to fall off (if it is dry, A lot of leaves fall off at the touch of it).

    Especially for potted plants that have just been fertilized, pay special attention to water management!

    What should I do if the leaves of the spider plant turn yellow?

  16. Anonymous users2024-01-24

    Because I didn't see the picture, I can only guess. Based on personal experience, there are the following possibilities:

    1. Old leaf yellow: due to the long-term failure to pot, the root system is full in the pot, and it is difficult to absorb water and nutrients, so it should be replanted.

    2. The soil is too thin: hydroponics does not add nutrient solution or soil culture does not fertilize, which is called hungry yellow. Hydroponics should be filled with a small amount of foliage flower nutrient solution every week; When repotting and replanting, it is necessary to apply foot fertilizer, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and generally do not need to top dressing when bursting the pot, and it is time to divide the pot again.

    3. Water yellow: Spider plant has fat fleshy roots, which will grow well without frequent watering, otherwise it will grow and the overall leaves will turn yellow due to lack of light. It should be placed in the strongest indoor light, or in an outdoor scattered light place (not in direct sunlight); Spider plant is one of the lazy flowers, as long as the leaf color is not dark, do not water it.

    1. Soil alkalization.

    What to do if the leaves of spider plants turn yellow: causes and treatment skills.

    The yellowing of the leaves of the spider plant during the growth period may be caused by severe alkalinization of the soil. Spider plants prefer slightly acidic soils, and soil alkalinization and compaction will affect the growth of roots and branches. If it is caused by soil alkalinization, it needs to be adjusted by watering ferrous sulfate solution, and in the case of severe soil alkalinization, it can be replaced with potting soil.

    2. Insufficient light.

    Spider plants love shade, but they need light during the growing period, and a lack of light will make their leaves yellow. During the curing period, if it is caused by insufficient light, it needs to be moved to an outdoor location with sufficient light to supplement the light. In a sunny environment, the spider plant can be restored later, but during the summer, it needs to be shaded.

    3. Improper watering.

    During the growth period, the spider plant needs to have sufficient water for its growth, and if the water is insufficient, the leaves will turn yellow and dry out due to lack of water. If there is too much water, the roots will be damaged, and the leaves will turn yellow and soft. If it is caused by improper watering, it is necessary to replenish water or drain the spider plant in time, and the maintenance method needs to be adjusted in the later stage, and the appropriate amount of watering of the spider plant should be carried out.

    4. Insufficient fertilizer.

    Spider plants like fertilizer, during the growth period, the fertilizer is insufficient, the leaves lack nutrients, and they will turn yellow. If it is caused by insufficient fertilizer, it is necessary to fertilize the spider plant in time to supplement its nutrition. During the maintenance period, the fertilizer is mainly composed of compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and the concentration of fertilizer should be controlled, which is conducive to the growth of spider plant.
