[What causes Gardenia leaves to turn yellow]

1. Improper watering: Gardenia fears waterlogging. When growing it, too much watering will make the young leaves dull and lusterless, the leaves will turn yellow-green, and new leaves will not grow.
2. Improper light: Under relatively strong light, Gardenia leaves will develop yellow spots, and the leaves will also turn yellow. If Gardenia is placed in a shady spot for a long time, it will not get sufficient light, and the leaves will also turn yellow or drop off, so photosynthesis needs to be carried out in time.

3. Improper fertilizing: When growing Gardenia, too much or too concentrated fertilizer can also cause the plant's leaves to turn yellow. Generally the tips of new leaves will turn brown; although the leaves are fairly thick and fleshy, they have no luster at all and cannot fully unfold, while the old leaves will turn scorched yellow and hang down. Insufficient fertilizer can also cause Gardenia leaves to turn yellow or drop off. When Gardenia lacks nitrogen, the leaves will turn yellow, and the new leaves will grow very small and be fairly brittle. When it lacks potassium, the old leaves will turn brown, thereby affecting the ornamental value. When it lacks iron, the leaves will slowly turn pale yellow, then yellow or white, and finally slowly wither. When it lacks magnesium, the old leaves will turn yellow first, then the new leaves will also turn yellow, and finally the leaves will completely wither and drop off. When it lacks phosphorus, the old leaves will turn purplish red or dark red.
4. Unsuitable temperature: Too low a temperature will cause the leaves to turn yellow. In winter you must be well prepared, and in early spring or early winter you must focus on keeping it warm.

[What to do when Gardenia leaves turn yellow]

1. If the leaves have turned yellow due to too much watering, you can let the plant dry in a ventilated place and then put it back in the pot; the yellowed and withered parts of the plant will naturally drop off, the new leaves will grow fairly normally, and you should water it with enough water.
2. If the leaves have turned yellow due to too strong light, you can place the Gardenia in a relatively shady spot. And if the cause is insufficient light, give it sufficient light.
3. If the fertilizer concentration is too high, you can reduce the concentration of fertilizer in the soil. When it lacks iron, you can spray with ferrous sulfate; when it lacks magnesium, you can spray with boron-magnesium fertilizer.
4. In winter the growing temperature for Gardenia must not drop below zero degrees Celsius, otherwise the plant will enter a dormant state or freeze to death, so you must prepare well against freezing.

Water yellowing: The newly grown leaves are fairly dark yellow and lusterless, while the old leaves show no obvious change; the branches are fairly small and fairly yellow-green, and the new shoots are fairly shrunken.
