What causes the leaves of the Philodendron 'Golden Diamond' to turn yellow?
1. Insufficient nutrients
Cause: The Philodendron 'Golden Diamond' has a high demand for nutrients during the flowering season. If nutrients cannot keep up at this time, its leaves will turn yellow.
Solution: The root system of the Philodendron 'Golden Diamond' is sensitive, so remember never to apply concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer. Applying animal manure is best; animal manure is mildly stimulating, easy to decompose, and easy to absorb. So just apply animal manure to it. During the flowering and growing seasons, fertilize four times a month, and during the dormant season, fertilizing twice a month is enough.
2. Improper watering
Cause: Although the Philodendron 'Golden Diamond' likes moisture, it is not tolerant of waterlogging. If watered too much, water will accumulate in the potting soil, causing the plant's roots to rot; if watered too little, it will lack water. Both of these situations will cause the leaves of the Philodendron 'Golden Diamond' to turn yellow.
Solution: In general, when the weather is hot, water the Philodendron 'Golden Diamond' every other day; when the weather is cold, watering three or four times a month is enough. When watering, first observe its potting soil; only water when the potting soil is completely dry. When the potting soil is moist, there is no need to water for the time being.
3. Insufficient light
Cause: To let the Philodendron 'Golden Diamond' grow healthily, it needs sufficient light. If the light is insufficient, the leaves will turn yellow.
Solution: In summer, when the sunshine is long, ensure six hours of scattered natural light every day. If it is winter, when the sunshine is short, you can give it sunlight all day long.
4. Unsuitable temperature
Cause: The Philodendron 'Golden Diamond' likes warmth. A temperature of around 20 degrees is best, and it is best not to exceed 25 degrees. If the temperature is too low or too high, the leaves will turn yellow.
Solution: If the temperature is too low, move it to a warm place. If the temperature is too high, spray it with water mist to cool it down.
