Improper watering: too much watering will cause the basin soil to be too wet for a long time, which will cause the leaves to be scorched, too little will cause the plants to be unable to absorb water, which will cause the leaves to become yellow and withered. Light is too strong: under the strong sunlight, the leaves will start to turn yellow and dry. Improper fertilization: when the growth is vigorous, the nutrient supply is not timely, and it may turn yellow and scorch from the old leaves below.

If the water is not well controlled, too much will cause the basin soil to be too wet for a long time, lack of oxygen in it, and the root system will not be able to breathe and absorb water normally, which will cause the leaves to scorch and fall off. Too little leads to the plant unable to absorb water, causing the leaf color to become yellow and lusterless. So in the maintenance, pay more attention to the control of water in the basin.
