1. The light is too strong

2. The temperature is too low

3. Apply too much fertilizer

The yellowing and drying of the tips of its leaves may be caused by too much sunlight. Prolonged exposure to the sun will burn the leaves. Shade treatment should be carried out in time. It may also be caused by frostbite due to too low a temperature. Once the temperature drops below 15 degrees, it will stop growing, and long-term low temperature environment will cause frostbite. Therefore, it is necessary to control the temperature and take measures to keep warm in winter. In addition, it may be improper fertilization. Applying concentrated fertilizer or excessive fertilizer at one time will burn the roots and cause yellowing. The amount of watering should be increased, the fertilizer should be diluted and the fertilizer liquid should be allowed to drain.

1. Too strong light

Reason: It likes an environment with sufficient scattered light. Strong light will sunburn the plants. If it is placed under strong direct sunlight for a long time, it will easily get sunburned, and yellow and dry leaves will appear.

Solution: When there is strong light, shade should be provided in time. You can build a shade shed or move it to another light-proof place. The plant can be placed in a semi-shaded environment. During the high temperature and strong light stage, more water should be sprayed and moisturized. In winter, the light is very soft, so you can spend more time in the sun.

2. The temperature is too low< /h2>

Reason: Its cold tolerance is relatively poor. When the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, the plant will stop growing. If it is in a low temperature environment for a long time, it is easy to be frozen. Over time, the leaf tips will turn yellow and dry.

Solution: Take heat preservation measures and move the plants indoors to keep warm. It is best to control the temperature above 15 degrees, so that you can survive the winter safely and avoid frostbite.

3. Too much fertilizer

Reason: Apply thin fertilizer frequently during the growing season. If too much fertilizer is applied at one time or the concentration is too high, it will easily burn the roots, resulting in yellow and dry leaves.

Solution: If it is caused by improper fertilization, stop fertilizing as soon as possible. You should also water more frequently to dilute the water and allow excess fertilizer to flow out along the bottom of the pot.
