More and more friends now like to keep some flowers and plants at home, and anthurium is a plant many friends like too. Anthurium is, relatively speaking, still a fairly easy plant to care for, and its flowers look just like candles, especially beautiful. However, recently many friends have messaged Xiaomei saying that their anthurium keeps getting yellow leaves, so today Xiaomei will

analyze the problem of yellow leaves on anthurium and its solutions for everyone.

Yellow leaves on anthurium can be caused by many reasons, such as:

1. Overwatering

Many friends worry that plants will die from lack of water, so many of them water their plants heavily. Actually this is very bad; too much water has a big impact on plant growth, especially for those relatively drought-tolerant plants. Once there is too much water, yellow leaves easily appear, and even root rot problems;

Anthurium actually does not need too much watering in normal times. If there is too much water, yellow leaves will appear, so Xiaomei suggests that you usually just keep the anthurium's potting soil slightly moist, and you can also spray the anthurium's leaves with water more often;

If the yellow leaves are caused by too much water and it is not very serious, take the potted plant to a place with good ventilation and let the soil dry out, or you can put some absorbent cloth under the pot to soak up the water;

Note here that if anthurium is kept in a water-deficient state for a long time, it will also get yellow leaves;

2. Too Much Light

Anthurium is a relatively shade-tolerant plant that cannot be exposed to strong sun. If you put anthurium in a place with very strong light to bake in the sun, the anthurium will definitely be affected. It is suggested that you usually put the anthurium in a place with good light, and a place with scattered light is also fine;

3. Environmental Problems

If the anthurium shows yellow leaves right after being bought, this may be due to a sudden change in environment. This situation generally has no real impact, and after the anthurium adapts to the new environment, this will not happen again. Actually, plants are just like us people, they all need an adaptation period;

4. Improper Fertilizing

Many friends worry that plants will not grow well without nutrients, so many of them like to fertilize their plants heavily. Actually, fertilizing plants blindly like this is very bad. Some plants like strong fertilizer, some like light fertilizer, so if you give anthurium a lot of fertilizer, the anthurium will also get yellow leaves. If it is too much fertilizer, you can take a basin, fill it with water,

and then put the whole anthurium pot into the water. If it is especially serious, and the roots have not been damaged yet, you can also directly water the anthurium with a large amount of water to wash away the excess fertilizer, but in this case be careful to ensure good ventilation.

Suggestions:Caring for anthurium in normal times is actually very simple. Usually just put the anthurium in a place with good light and a bit of scattered light, and also just keep the soil a bit moist. Spray the anthurium with water more often to maintain humidity.
