What to Do When Cymbidium ensifolium Leaves Turn Yellow? Causes and Solutions
The Molan plant is a small potted plant. Its ornamental value is very high, and it is said to be able to purify the environment, so it is very suitable for us to grow at home or in the office. However, a friend who has grown it for a long time says that Molan is prone to yellow leaves. How can we effectively prevent this situation? This requires us to understand why Molan has yellow leaves. Today we will discuss the causes of yellow leaves in Molan.
Overwatering
Molan is not the kind of plant that likes water, so it should not be watered excessively. If there is too much water, the roots will rot in the water for a long time. Each time you water, first check whether the potting soil is completely dry, and water only when it is dry. After watering, do not put it in the sun. It should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and the water should be allowed to dry, because high temperatures will warm the water. It is not good for root growth.
Over-fertilizing
Some friends often fertilize plants, with a lot of fertilizer and too thick a fertilizer solution; the old leaves become thick, and the new leaves appear yellow. This is caused by too much fertilizer. When we fertilize, we need to dilute the fertilizer with water before applying it. This is beneficial for the Molan roots to absorb the fertilizer.
Insufficient light
Molan prefers light. Sufficient lighting helps Molan maintain a suitable growing environment, but it should be noted that if it is noon in summer, it cannot be exposed to direct light, because the temperature at noon will be too high. It gets sunburned. The normal lighting time is before 9:00 a.m., and after 10:00 it should be moved into a cool place.
Pest infestation
In this case, we usually prevent it in advance. We can water the flowers with chili pepper or garlic water, because both of these waters contain pungent odors, and insects will avoid them. If it has already happened, insecticides and other medications must be sprayed.
In short, if you want Molan to grow healthily, you still need to take it seriously. Watering, fertilizing and lighting are all things we can control, so do not be lazy when growing plants. According to normal care methods, our Molan can produce beautiful flowers.
