What can cause a plant leaves to turn yellow ?
Overwatered plant
- The best way to tell whether your plant's yellowing leaves are being caused by overwatering is to look at the leaf's shape
- When leaves droop and become limp, it's usually a sign that the plant is retaining too much water
Underwatered plant
- The best way to tell whether your plant's problems are being caused by underwatering is to take a closer look at the plant's leaves
- If underwatering is the reason, the soil will be very dry and the leaves will be crispy rather than floppy
Root bound
- When a plant is pot-bound, its roots are too tightly packed and it can't healthily soustain itself
- If this is the issue you will usually see a slight yellowing all over the plant
Lack of light
If your plant are light-loving species, then you need to give supplementary light as this could cause also yellowing on leaves
Yellow leaf can happen for just being a plant!
- As most plants age, older leaves will die off, turning yellow and eventually dropping
- If your plant is growing new leaves, it's healthy. Simply snip off any old or unsightly yellow leaves
