1. Frequent watering

2. Sunburn from strong light

3. Insect pests occur

The yellowing of Amaryllis leaves may be caused by frequent watering. At this time, move the flower pot to a ventilated place and use bricks to raise the pot to dry the flower soil. It could also be sunburn from strong light. At this time, you need to move it to a location with scattered light and no strong light. There may also be an insect infestation such as red spider mites. At this time, it should be moved to a location with good ventilation and regularly sprayed with acaricides to kill insects.

1. Frequent watering

1. Reason: When cultivating amaryllis, you need to water it in a timely manner and not frequently. Otherwise, water will accumulate in its flower soil, causing damage to its root system and causing yellow leaves.

2. Treatment method: First move the flower pot to a ventilated place, and use bricks to raise the pot. Wait for the flower soil to dry before moving it back to its original location for cultivation. Thereafter, be careful to slightly reduce the frequency of watering.

2. Sunburn from strong light

1. Reason: When cultivating it, you need to provide it with sufficient light, but do not allow too bright light to directly illuminate its leaves. Otherwise, it may get sunburned and develop yellow leaves.

2. Treatment method: Use scissors to cut off the yellowed leaves, and then move them to a location with scattered light but no strong light for maintenance.

3. Insect damage

1 Reason: If the plant has pests such as red spider mites, its growth will be affected. If left untreated for a period of time, its leaves will wither and turn yellow due to insect bites.

2. Treatment method: First cut off the leaves with more pests, then put them in a well-ventilated place, and spray mite killer regularly for treatment.
