Pothos and Gardenia Turning Yellow in Hot Weather? Here's One Trick to Bring Them Back to Green in 3 Days

Rose

Main cause: lack of water

Summer temperatures are high, and many flower lovers grow their roses in the ground, where water evaporates even faster. If you do not water in time, roses turn yellow very easily.

Solution:

Ground-planted roses generally need watering once a day, while potted ones are best watered once every 2 days. If you find the soil is very hot when you water, do not water just yet, otherwise the roots can easily suffocate.

Gardenia

Main cause: soil leaning alkaline

Gardenia yellowing in summer is mostly caused by the soil becoming alkaline, especially in the north where the soil tends to be alkaline. Gardenia prefers acidic soil, so with long-term use, yellow leaves are inevitable.

Solution:

After gardenia leaves turn yellow, cut off the yellowed leaves, then water with ferrous sulfate diluted 2000 times with water, once every half a month.

Hydrangea

Main cause: improper watering

Hydrangea likes a relatively humid environment. Once the water supply cannot keep up, its leaves easily droop and turn yellow. But there should not be too much water either. Hydrangea has fleshy roots, and after the roots rot from too much water, the leaves also turn yellow and dry up.

Solution:

In summer, if you notice the hydrangea leaves have slightly softened and drooped, water thoroughly immediately. Generally water once a day, and on hot days it needs watering twice a day. Also, after watering be sure to pay attention to ventilation. With poor ventilation, the leaves still easily wilt and turn yellow.

Pothos

Main cause: overwatering

Pothos leaves turning yellow in summer are mainly caused by too much water and poor ventilation. In summer, many friends worry that their pothos is short of water and keep watering it nonstop, but do not improve ventilation. The pothos is then like sitting in a sauna, and its leaves turn yellow very easily.

Solution:

In this situation, quickly move the pothos to a well-ventilated place to speed up evaporation of water in the pot. Once the water in the pot has mostly evaporated, resume normal care.

Spider Plant

Main cause: dry air

The most common problem for spider plants in summer is drying out and turning yellow, mainly because the surrounding environment is too dry.

Solution:

Usually spray water on the spider plant leaves and around the pot more often. Friends who find this troublesome can simply place a basin of clean water next to the pot; the evaporation of the water in the basin can raise the humidity around the spider plant.

Asparagus Fern

Main cause: dry air

In summer, homes generally have the air conditioner or fan on. In such conditions, indoor air easily becomes dry, and if you do not get around to watering the asparagus fern, it easily turns yellow, dries up and dies.

Solution:

Cut off the yellowed leaves and dead branches of the asparagus fern, water it once every 3-5 days, and spray water around it every day.

Now you know the reasons these flowers turn yellow, right?
