Pothos always getting yellow leaves? What nutrient is it lacking? An old gardener tells you

A colleague at the office couldn't stand it anymore. As it happened, an old gardener came to our company, so Huahua went to ask for advice. If I hadn't asked, I never would have known there was so much to learn! Today Huahua will speak on behalf of the old gardener and tell everyone what to do if a pothos gets yellow leaves!

If you want to know what to do about yellow leaves, you need to know exactly how they turn yellow. Many people immediately think it must be because their usual method of growing pothos is wrong, which makes the pothos grow poorly, and over time the yellowing leaves appear. Huahua thinks that yellowing pothos leaves are an important result of improper care in our daily routine. Only good daily habits can help plants grow better and avoid getting sick.

Of course, yellowing leaves can't have only one cause. Another cause is that nutrition can't keep up. If there isn't enough fertilizer, the plant can only show it through its own outward appearance. When fertilizing, it's very easy to overlook some trace elements and so on. The most likely result is an iron deficiency.

When plants become iron-deficient, yellowing leaves are still a common occurrence. The solution isn't as hard as you'd imagine. We only need one tiny tablet. That tablet is ferrous sulfate. Just take out one small tablet, dilute the ferrous sulfate with plenty of water, and then water the plant with the diluted solution to ease the yellowing leaves.

Actually, it's equivalent to fertilizing the pothos and supplementing iron, thereby acting as a remedy. Although this ferrous sulfate solution is quite good, Huahua wants to remind everyone that when watering with ferrous sulfate, you can water at most only once a week. After about 4 times of watering this way, the leaves will gradually turn back.

Through this matter, everyone should also understand the importance of the iron element, right? Normally, when we fertilize plants, we must pay attention: do not use only a single fertilizer when fertilizing. Rotate multiple fertilizers, and neither organic fertilizer nor compound fertilizer can be omitted. Only in this way can you ensure comprehensive nutrition for the plant and prevent other problems from appearing.

Using ferrous sulfate to fertilize pothos is one of the better ways to supplement iron for pothos. If your pothos at home is showing yellowing leaves at this time, it is very likely because the pothos is lacking iron, and ferrous sulfate can solve it!

So, have you learned this trick? Try it quickly!
