What to do about yellow leaves on pothos and spider plants? Add a little of this and they turn green again

Pothos and spider plants stay evergreen all year round. Keeping them in the living room or bedroom benefits your health, and their greenery eases fatigue and gives you a feeling of being close to nature. They are also very easy to grow, but some flower lovers run into yellow leaves, dry tips, black tips and withering. Let's take a look together.

1. Not enough light

Leaves carry out photosynthesis, and if you place spider plants and pothos in a shady spot where they cannot get enough sunlight, pothos very easily develops yellow leaves.

2. Watering too much

Many flower lovers like to water heavily, and as a result most of their plants die from watering. Although pothos and spider plants love water very much, they also dislike waterlogged potting soil. The roots of the plant then suffocate and rot, and the leaves dry up, so whenever leaves turn yellow you need to trim the roots.

3. Fertilizing lacks trace elements

Trace elements such as nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer keep pothos leaves from turning yellow. Shriveled, lusterless leaves, yellow leaves and withered leaves mean a lack of nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer. You can use rotted bean cake to supplement nitrogen fertilizer and crushed eggshells to supplement phosphorus fertilizer, and pothos will recover its vitality.

That is all for the knowledge about yellow leaves on pothos and spider plants. Flower lovers can pay attention to watering pothos properly in daily care, and also remember to fertilize pothos. You can use some monopotassium phosphate diluted in water for watering, or wipe the leaves of the pothos with it, and the pothos will stay evergreen all year round.
