What to Do When Aglaia odorata Leaves Turn Yellow? Causes and Solutions for Yellowing Aglaia odorata Leaves

Aglaia odorata is one of people's favorite flowering plants. It can bloom multiple times throughout the year, so many people like to grow a pot of Aglaia odorata at home or in the office. However, during the process of growing Aglaia odorata, yellowing leaves can occur. So do you know why Aglaia odorata leaves turn yellow? What should you do when Aglaia odorata leaves turn yellow? Let's take a look.

1. Insufficient Light

The growth and development of Aglaia odorata requires sufficient sunlight. If it is kept in a shaded environment for a long time, the nutrients accumulated through photosynthesis are lost to watering, and over time the leaves will turn yellow and drop.

Solution: You can place the Aglaia odorata in an indoor spot with good ventilation and scattered light, and rotate the direction every month so that the Aglaia odorata receives light evenly. Before long, the leaf color will gradually recover.

2. Improper Watering

Aglaia odorata likes moisture. If it is not repotted for a long time, the nutrients in the soil will decrease and oxygen will be reduced. After watering, the root system will remain in a high-temperature environment for a long time, its respiration will be inhibited, and part of the root system will die, causing the leaves to turn yellow and drop. In addition, when watering in the high-temperature season, evaporation is high. If watering is not timely and the potting soil stays too dry for a long time, the leaves will also turn yellow within a short time.

Solution: If the yellowing leaves are caused by overly wet potting soil, stop watering immediately. In severe cases, you can repot and replant. If the yellowing leaves are caused by long-term lack of water, do not water thoroughly all at once at this time. Water slowly until the plant recovers, then resume normal watering.

3. Alkaline Soil

Aglaia odorata likes a slightly acidic soil environment. If the soil is alkaline, the leaves will turn yellow. Most soil in the north is alkaline, making this problem hard to avoid.

Solution: The simplest method is to change the soil's pH. You can water with ferrous sulfate water to reduce the soil's alkalinity, and repot once a year. The growing soil can be prepared with field soil, pine needles and a small amount of river sand.

4. Low Temperature

Yellowing of Aglaia odorata leaves often occurs in winter with fertilizer and water. The main cause is low temperature. Aglaia odorata likes a warm environment. When the overwintering temperature is below 5 degrees, it will freeze to death. In the early stage of frost damage, the leaves will gradually turn yellow and then drop. Another point is that when hit by cold wind, Aglaia odorata often turns yellow overnight.

Solution: Once an Aglaia odorata plant is injured or exposed to cold wind, it is extremely difficult to save, and it directly affects the next year's flowering. Therefore, after winter begins, do a good job of keeping it warm so it can overwinter safely.
