There are many reasons for the yellow leaves of Queen silver: if it is caused by too much water, it is necessary to control the water; if it is caused by too much light, it is necessary to adjust the light and shade it properly; if it is caused by excessive fertilization, it is necessary to reduce fertilization; if it is caused by long-term failure to change the basin, it is necessary to change it to a larger basin and trim it properly. The lower root system.

I. reason

Too much water

Too much water causes the soil to harden or become too sticky, which makes the root of silver queen not breathe well, causes the root to rot, reduces the ability of the root to absorb water and nutrients, seriously affects the growth of the plant, and causes the tip of the plant to wilt and turn yellow.

The air is dry, the light is too strong, and the temperature is too high.

These three situations usually occur in summer and autumn, because the silver queen likes to grow in a humid semi overcast environment. Once the air is dry, the sun is strong, and the temperature is just above 30 ℃, it is easy to cause the tip of the silver queen's leaves to dry. If this happens, immediately move the silver queen to the semi Yin environment, cut off the dead leaves, and often spray water and ventilate, the newly grown silver queen's leaves will return to normal.

Do not change basin for a long time

In the environment of high temperature and high drought, it is easy to cause the root of Queen Yin to wither and lose its absorption function. If this happens, you can pour the silver queen out of the flowerpot, cut off the dead branches and leaves, cut off the necrotic roots, replace with half of the new soil, and then put it in a cool, humid and half overcast environment. Pay attention to spray water in time.

II. What to do

Controlled watering

After the queen of silver enters the room, the space is not as open as the outside, and the water content on the basin soil and the plant surface will be reduced. Therefore, watering should be properly reduced. If you still water as usual at this time, it is easy to cause rotten roots and yellow leaves. Therefore, the queen of silver should pay attention to the amount of water to be watered, and carry out it regularly. When the pot soil dries quickly, it should be watered thoroughly.

Adjust lighting

The silver queen likes the environment of half shade and is very tolerant of shade. Don't worry about the long-term shade will also affect its growth. As long as your home is not dark, it will grow well in any corner of the home, and you don't need to supplement the sunshine specially.

Reduce fertilization

After autumn, the growth of silver queen will gradually slow down, and the absorption capacity of nutrients will gradually reduce. At this time, it is necessary to reduce fertilization to prevent the leaves of silver queen from turning yellow. Choose liquid fertilizer as much as possible and apply thin fertilizer frequently.

Keep warm

The silver queen likes a warm living environment. When the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, it will stop growing. When the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it will affect the growth of the silver queen and cause the leaves to turn yellow. At the same time, in the maintenance process, try to control the temperature as constant as possible, and do not flicker low.
