Article Catalog

1. Soil is alkaline

2. Too little fertilizer

3. Too much light

The yellow leaves of Strelitzia reginae may be caused by the alkaline soil. At this time, take it out of the old flower soil and plant it in new, soft, rich, slightly acidic flower soil for maintenance. It may also be caused by too little fertilizer. At this time, you need to increase the frequency of fertilizing it, and add some fast-acting flower fertilizer to it to help it recover. It may also be caused by too much light. At this time, cut off the yellow leaves and use a shading net to shade them when the light is strong.

1. The soil is alkaline

1. Reason: Strelitzia reginae prefers soil that is acidic. If the pH of the soil in which it is grown is too high, it may not be able to adapt and the leaves may turn yellow.

2. Solution: First take the plant out of the original flower soil and cut off the yellow leaves. Then prepare some soft, fertile, slightly acidic new flower soil to replace the old soil, plant the plants in it and slowly maintain it.

2. Too little fertilization

1. Reason: Its growth requires nutrient support, so it needs to be fertilized every month during breeding. If it is not fertilized for a long time, it will lack nutrients and the leaves will turn yellow.

2. Solution: In this case, just add some fertilizer to the plants. It is recommended to choose some fertilizers that are fast-acting, which can help it recover faster. When fertilizing, pay attention to applying thin fertilizer frequently and do not apply thick fertilizer.

3. Excessive light

1. Reason: Although it is a light-loving flower, it needs long-term sunlight to grow healthily. However, it is also afraid of direct sunlight. If the place where you raise it is too bright, it may get sunburned and cause yellow leaves.

2. Solution: Use scissors to cut off the yellowed leaves. Then prepare a shading net to shade it in summer and other seasons when the light is relatively strong at noon.
