There are many reasons why begonia flowers have yellow leaves. If it is caused by too much sunlight, you need to cut off the yellow leaves first, and then move them to a ventilated place for maintenance. If it is caused by water accumulation in the soil, you need to remove it from the soil, cut off the yellow leaves and rotten roots, and then replant it in new soil with good drainage. If it is caused by excessive fertilization, it needs to be removed from the pot, the roots should be cleaned, and then planted in new soil for maintenance.

1. The sun is too strong

1. The sun is too strong

1. Reason: Begonia flowers prefer sunlight, but they cannot withstand strong direct sunlight. If the sunlight in the environment where it is raised is too strong, its sun-facing leaves will be sunburned and turn yellow.

2. Treatment method: Cut off the yellowed leaves on the plant. Then move it to a ventilated place and wait for it to slowly recover and grow new leaves.

2. Water accumulation in soil

1. Reason: Begonia flowers like a humid growing environment, but cannot withstand moisture. If the plant is overwatered during cultivation, or if water is not drained in time after rain, allowing water to accumulate in the soil, it may cause damage to its root system, resulting in yellow leaves.

2. Treatment method: First take it out of the soil and use scissors to cut off the rotten roots and yellow leaves. After that, prepare some new soil with good drainage and plant it into it.

3. Excessive fertilization

1 , Reason: Its growth requires fertilizer to provide nutrients. However, there is a limit to how quickly it can absorb fertilizer. If you fertilize it too frequently during breeding, it will not have time to absorb the fertilizer. Excess fertilizer remaining in the soil will damage its root system and cause yellow leaves.

2. Treatment method: If possible, it is best to take it out of the pot, clean the root system, and then plant it in new soil for maintenance. If you don’t want to change the soil, you can also wash away the fertilizer in the soil with water and then maintain it.
