Reasons and Solutions for Yellowing Leaves on Office Plants

Some companies buy green plants for the office and need to care for them themselves, and often find that the office green plants turn yellow for no apparent reason. This is mainly because the office environment differs from that of a home, which causes the green plants to turn yellow.

To solve the problem of office green plants turning yellow, you should mainly check two aspects. The first is ventilation, because office ventilation is generally not particularly good, especially in summer, since the air conditioning is on and there is even less ventilation, so plants easily turn yellow and gradually die. The second is watering. Nowadays most offices are in office buildings, where ventilation and light are not very sufficient, so the moisture in the soil does not evaporate very quickly. Since there are many people in the company, it is very likely that everyone waters the plants nonstop, and plants greatly dislike being watered this way.

However, some plants turning yellow is normal metabolism. For example, pothos occasionally has a yellow leaf at the bottom; just pick it off and throw it away, and there is no impact. In addition, some "professional" green plant care workers may say it is a lack of fertilizer, but as long as care is normal, there will be no fertilizer deficiency in the short term. Only if the plant has been grown for a very long time and the soil has never been changed might fertilizer deficiency occur.

So how should office green plants be cared for? First, you need to know what plant you are growing, and then understand the plant's habits. For example, a common one is the money tree (Pachira aquatica), which is especially afraid of waterlogging; another example is the umbrella tree (Schefflera), which is relatively tough, and as long as the environment is not especially unsuitable for growth, it generally will not have problems.

What should you do if office green plants turn yellow? How should indoor office plants be cared for?

Green, healthy living can be seen everywhere, and more companies are buying office green plants. At first they are all full of vitality, but before long you find that the green plants have turned yellow for no apparent reason, and caring for these plants has suddenly become a hot potato. In fact, a large part of the problem is that the plants cannot adapt to the environment we provide.

To solve the problem of office green plants turning yellow, we should mainly analyze it from two aspects first:

First, ventilation. Because office ventilation is generally not particularly good, especially in summer, since the air conditioning is on and there is even less ventilation, so plants easily turn yellow and gradually die

Second, watering. Since there are many people in the company, it is very likely that everyone waters the plants nonstop at different times, and plants greatly dislike being watered this way. Ventilation and light are already worse than outdoors, so the moisture in the soil cannot evaporate, causing waterlogging, root rot, yellowing, and all kinds of other problems.

Care of Office Green Plants

First:Watering should be moderate. Because most office air circulation is poor, the amount of water transpired from the soil in the flowerpot is small, and the pots used for office green plants are often chosen for their appearance, with ceramic pots used more often. This kind of pot is not breathable and not water-permeable, which further reduces the amount of moisture lost from the potting soil. Therefore, the amount of watering should be controlled as much as possible; otherwise, the roots of the green plants can easily be soaked in water for a long time and rot;

Second:Most offices have air conditioning, so never let the air conditioning vent blow directly on the green plants. Also, during the season when the air conditioning is used, appropriately increase the humidity of the green plants' growing environment, and when necessary spray water on the floor at the placement location and on the green plant leaves to meet the green plants' water needs;

Third:Consider the green plants' light needs and appropriately adjust their placement location;

Fourth:When choosing a placement location, appropriately consider the issue of being touched by people. Being touched often will injure the leaves or leaf buds of the green plants and spoil their appearance, which both affects the normal growth of the plants and is unsightly.

Of course, some plants turning yellow is normal metabolism. For example, pothos occasionally has a yellow leaf at the bottom; just pick it off and throw it away, and there is no impact. In addition, some "professional" green plant care workers may say it is a lack of fertilizer, but as long as care is normal, there will be no fertilizer deficiency in the short term. Only if the plant has been grown for a very long time and the soil has never been changed might fertilizer deficiency occur.

Understand what plant you are growing, and then understand the plant's habits. As long as the environment is not especially unsuitable for growth, it generally will not have problems. For example, a common one is the money tree (Pachira aquatica), which is especially afraid of waterlogging.
