Overwatering: Overwatering can cause yellow leaves to appear. At this time, it should be removed from the pot, cut off yellow leaves and rotten roots, and re-planted with new soil with good drainage. Too much fertilizer: too much fertilizer can also cause it to have yellow leaves. At this time, water should be used to wash the soil, wash away the fertilizer, and temporarily stop fertilizing for a period of time. Pests and diseases: Anthurium can easily get brown spot disease, which will make the leaves yellow. At this time, it is necessary to spray carbendazim solution in time.

1. Fertilization time

Fertilization for fleshy plants is generally concentrated in the growing period, that is, spring and autumn, when the climate is relatively mild, the growth and development of plants are faster, and the demand for nutrients is relatively large.In summer and winter, plants will enter a dormant state, their absorption capacity will become weak, and their demand for nutrients will be reduced, so they do not need to fertilize them at this time, so as not to accumulate fertilizer to form fertilizer damage.

2. Fertilizer Selection

Special fertilizer for rich meat is generally used to fertilize rich meat, and the concentration of this fertilizer is often relatively low, which will not cause damage to the plant.It can also use decomposed organic fertilizer, which has a long effective cycle and can release fertility slowly.In addition, some foliar fertilizers are also very good, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which can quickly supplement nutrients.

3. Fertilizing

Fertilization methods are different for different types of fertilizers.Organic fertilizer is usually used as a base fertilizer, which needs to be spread on the bottom of the pot at the time of potting, so that it can continue to work.If solid fertilizer is applied during the growth process, it needs to be buried in the soil, but away from the roots.Liquid fertilizer is directly irrigated to the roots, which can generally replace watering.The foliar fertilizer is sprayed directly on the leaves and can be absorbed quickly.

4. Precautions

The demand for fertilizer is not high for meat, and it is usually enough to apply it once a month.If the fertilizer is too frequent or the fertilizer is too thick, the pot soil needs to be washed with clean water to wash away the excess fertilizer.If the thick fertilizer has burned the roots, it is necessary to prune the plants after removing the pots, cut off the rotten roots and put them in a cool and ventilated place until the wound is dry and planted again.
