Many flower friends ask why the azaleas at home often get yellow leaves and drop their leaves. Today let's talk about this situation. There are several reasons for yellow leaves. Compare and see which one is yours

1. New leaves turn yellow

This is an iron deficiency, because azaleas like acidic soil, and ordinary soil does not have enough acidic substances, so we need to regularly water the azaleas with ferrous sulfate at a ratio of 1:1000, supplementing once a month, which can effectively prevent azalea yellow leaves from occurring

2. Water accumulation in the flower pot,

If the soil in the flower pot is not breathable and water accumulates, it is easy to cause azalea leaf tips to turn yellow, rot, and drop leaves, because the azalea's root system is very weak capillary roots with no main root. When watering, be sure not to let water accumulate. If there is water in the saucer, be sure to pour it out, otherwise water will accumulate and the roots will rot

If this situation occurs, you need to water it with a carbendazim solution. You can drench the roots or spray it. The ratio is 1:500. Spray once a week, and spraying two to three times can effectively prevent and control it

3. Lack of fertilizer

Many of our friends' azaleas tend to develop yellow old leaves and leaf drop after blooming, and the edges of new leaves turn yellow. Actually, this is a lack of nutrients, meaning that usual fertilization cannot keep up. Especially after blooming, a large amount of nutrients is consumed. If fertilization is not timely, the leaves will turn yellow,

At this time, we need to cut off the spent flowers and supplement it with fertilizer mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer, to let it grow branches and leaves. Applying it once every half month is enough. Light fertilizer applied frequently can make the azalea grow very well

4. Azaleas like a warm and humid environment. Usually, pay attention to increasing the air humidity for them. If the air humidity is insufficient, it is easy to cause various yellow leaves and dry tips. You can spray water around the flower pot or spray water on the back of the leaves to increase air humidity, and be sure to maintain good ventilation.

In summer, do not expose it to strong sun. In other seasons, it can be placed in a semi-shaded environment or one with plenty of scattered light. Therefore, if an azalea has yellow leaves and root rot, do not worry. Just add something to the water, and it will turn green again in only a few days
