What to Do When the Leaves of the Green Treasure Tree Turn Yellow? Causes and Solutions

1. Pest problems

(1) Causes: If the plant is kept for a long time in a place with very high temperature, high humidity, and poor ventilation, such as staying in a greenhouse for a long time, pest problems are very likely to occur. The pests mainly gather on the leaves of the plant, and over time this will cause its leaves to turn yellow.

(2) Prevention and control methods: First, if there are relatively few insects, you can wipe them off with a damp cloth, or stick them off with transparent tape; if there are many, then you will have to spray some chemicals, such as 25 percent buprofezin powder. In addition, controlling the surrounding environment is also very important, such as strengthening ventilation and exposing it to as much light as possible.

2. Light problems

(1) Causes: We all know that plants must rely on light to produce chlorophyll. If the light is weak for a long time, then the leaves are very likely to turn yellow. Over time, more and more leaves will turn yellow.

(2) Solutions: Try to place it in a spot where it can receive diffused light, and do not keep it in too dark a place for a long time; in addition, it is also necessary to avoid strong light.

3. Ventilation problems

(1) Causes: This is also an important cause of its leaves turning yellow. Especially in summer, when the temperature is very high, if ventilation is not strengthened, yellowing leaves are very likely to appear.

(2) Measures: In response to this situation, of course we need to strengthen ventilation. Only by bringing fresh air to the plant can it be healthier.

4. Normal phenomenon

(1) Causes: Sometimes, yellowing is a sign of leaf aging, which is normal, so there is no need to worry.

(2) Measures: If this is the case, simply cut off the leaves.
