3 kinds of flowering plants with withered yellow leaves - don't throw them away, they sprout new growth fast after pruning

These days, when I have nothing else to do, I like to potter around at home tending to a few green plants and flowers. Seeing them grow healthily every day makes me feel all my effort has not been wasted. But quite often, one careless mistake in the care routine, and at this point the plant will show all kinds of problems, such as yellow leaves, dryness and withered tips, root rot and the like. Does that really mean they can only be thrown away?

Huahua wants to tell everyone here that with many flowers, when you run into yellowing or withered leaves, don't rush to throw them out. We can cut off all the damaged branches and leaves, and that way they can send out new shoots again, and then you just carry on caring for them as usual. So which flowers and plants can be treated this way? Come and take a look with Huahua!

1. Clivia (Clivia miniata)

Everyone knows Clivia has glossy leaves and is even more stunning when it blooms, but getting a Clivia to flower really takes some effort. Clivia has quite a lot of requirements when it comes to care, and quite often as you keep growing it, root rot and yellow leaves will appear, yet throwing it away feels like such a waste. Actually, you can fix it just by pruning off the damaged leaves.

Use scissors to cut off all the yellowed parts of the Clivia. Don't be too soft-hearted to cut, because even if only a tiny bit of leaf is left, it can still survive. With a pruned Clivia, pay attention to your usual watering and don't water too much, because in many cases it is watering that causes water to accumulate around the Clivia's roots, and after that yellow leaves and similar problems follow right along.

2. Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)

Spider plant is a common household flower, and it is a very easy-to-grow green plant that generally won't develop any "fatal" problems. Still, yellow leaves on spider plants are a common occurrence. Usually when this happens, you first treat it with a dipotassium hydrogen phosphate solution to top up the nutrients the spider plant needs. If the yellowing still hasn't eased after doing this, then we can choose to cut off all the yellowed parts.

A spider plant after the yellow leaves are cut off may not look very pretty, but spider plants have very strong vitality, and before long they will grow back into their former lush appearance. Sometimes yellow leaves on spider plants are not just down to watering; many flower lovers choose to put them out in the sun to grow, but this is actually the wrong thing to do, because direct strong sunlight will scorch its leaves outright, and soft, indirect light is the best choice for care.

3. Money tree (Pachira aquatica)

The money tree symbolizes "wealth and fortune", so many flower lovers choose to keep one at home. The money tree's branches and leaves are fairly thick and sturdy, but sometimes yellow leaves, root rot and similar problems still appear because of water accumulating in the bottom of the pot. At this point we need to harden our hearts and cut all the leaves off directly, and it's best to repot it as well, so that after some time you'll find new shoots sprouting again.

So from now on, when you run into these plants with withered, yellow leaves, don't think they're beyond saving and throw them out. Handle them ruthlessly like this, and you can carry on growing them. If you have flower lovers with this problem, why not give it a try right away!
