When growing a variegated spider plant, it is inevitable to encounter the problem of yellowing leaves. At this time, many flower lovers are at a loss, which is very bad for the plant's growth, and a variegated spider plant after yellowing is like a pot of weeds, greatly reducing its ornamental effect. So what should be done?

Fertilizing

When the amount of fertilizer applied exceeds the plant's tolerance range, it may damage the roots of the plant. Manifested above the potting soil, it means that when the leaves of the plant turn yellow, they lose their luster.

Solution: Immediately stop fertilizing and water heavily. If the situation is severe, it is recommended to directly replace all the soil, including cleaning the soil around the roots thoroughly, but be careful not to damage the root system.

Nutrition

What was said above is that excessive fertilizing can cause yellow leaves. Likewise, too little fertilizer, uneven fertilizer, nutrients that cannot be supplied, or nutrients that are lost too severely, so that the plant does not get much nutrients, can also make the leaves turn yellow.

Solution: When fertilizing, do it together with watering. A relatively fertile sandy soil can be used, and an appropriate amount of alum fertilizer water can be applied.

Sunlight

If the plant is left to grow in a dark environment for a long time, its leaves will also slowly turn yellow.

Solution: If the plant's position cannot be changed, then place the plant in the sunlight for a few hours every day, but be careful to provide shade to prevent direct sunlight. Morning or evening sunlight is most suitable.

Air permeability and water drainage

If the root system grows in standing water for a long time or in soil that is too moist, the plant will be unable to breathe, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow.
