In homes, pothos and spider plants often develop yellow leaves. Yellow leaves on pothos are normal; when new leaves grow, the old leaves below wither. The withered leaf tips of spider plants are caused by insufficient air humidity; they must not be placed in a draft. Spider plants have very high requirements for air humidity, and when the air humidity is low, their leaves wither. So what methods can prevent flowers from having withered or yellow leaves?

Use "it" diluted with water to water flowers, watering once every 20 days, and the flowers will no longer have yellow leaves, and the leaves will turn emerald green!

Withered leaves on potted flowers are actually very common. If there are only one or two yellow leaves, we can just pick them off. But if the yellow leaves affect the whole plant and show a spreading trend, we have to rescue it. It is generally caused by insufficient nutrients, and we can use some fertilizers, such as "monopotassium phosphate". This fertilizer contains relatively many trace elements, including the phosphorus and potassium that flowers need, and can be used as fertilizer for flowers.

How exactly should it be used? It must be diluted first, and the ratio can be controlled according to your flower's condition. For example, dilute with water at 1:100, and after this simple mixing, it can be used to water flowers. For example, the pothos and spider plants at home can all use it.

For the problem of yellow leaves, the key lies in care. Improper watering at ordinary times can also cause yellow leaves on pothos. For example, both too much and too little watering of pothos can cause yellowing leaves. The specific way to distinguish them is to observe the signs of yellowing pothos leaves. If the leaf tips or edges are withered and dry, the newly grown young leaves grow normally, and the old leaves turn yellow and fall off, then it is insufficient watering; on the contrary, if the leaf surface is dull yellow and lusterless, and the newly grown leaf tips shrink and do not grow, it may be excessive watering. You can also make a judgment based on your own watering amount.

Since pothos likes water but is afraid of prolonged waterlogging, it is best to water only when the topsoil is dry and then water thoroughly. Especially when the ambient temperature is below 16°C, the potting soil absolutely must not be kept moist. Good lighting is the key to caring well for pothos; it needs scattered light, and it should not be placed in a shaded place for a long time or suddenly placed in sunlight to receive direct light.

There are many reasons why the leaves of pothos and spider plants turn yellow, including improper watering, unsuitable light, dry air, and red spider mite damage. Pothos needs relatively high air humidity, and air that is too dry is not suitable for the growth of pothos. You should often spray the plant with water to increase humidity, and you can also rinse dust off the leaf surface. When the air is dry, it is easily infested by red spider mites, and special acaricide must be sprayed for control.
