What to Do When Flower Leaves Turn Yellow in Autumn? Causes and Treatment Methods Explained

A problem that flowers easily run into in autumn is yellowing leaves, and people often do not know what is causing it or how to deal with it. Today I will share this with everyone.

Generally there are the following types:

First: water-yellow. This means too much watering, with the soil waterlogged and wet for a long time, poor air permeability and even partial rotting of the fibrous roots. It shows as tender leaves turning dull yellow and lusterless, and new shoots shrinking.

Second: fertilizer-yellow. This means too much fertilizer, showing as old leaves with dry tips turning yellow and falling off, while new leaves, though thick and glossy, are generally uneven and not spread out smoothly. If it is a valuable flower, you can sprinkle a layer of small bok choy or radish seeds, and after the seedlings come up for a few days, pull them out to consume nutrients.

Third: drought-yellow. Because of long-term failure to water thoroughly or dehydration, although the new leaves keep a normal color, the lower leaves gradually dry, turn yellow and fall off from the bottom upward as they age.

Fourth: alkaline-yellow. In particular, some southern flowers like acidic soil, while the water quality in the north tends to be alkaline, so the leaves gradually fade, turn yellow and even fall off. A simple method is to water with fermented rice-washing water or rainwater.

That is all for sharing with everyone. I hope this article is helpful to you, and I wish you good luck.
