Why Are My Leaves Turning Yellow (and How to Fix It)

Seeing yellow leaves can be discouraging, but it is often a simple signal. Your plant is communicating that something is off. The key is to read the signs and restore balance gently.

Common Causes of Yellowing

1. Overwatering: Roots that stay wet lose access to oxygen, causing nutrient lockout and dull, yellow leaves.
   
   

2. Underfeeding: Plants in pots rely entirely on you for nutrition. Without regular feeding, older leaves fade as nutrients shift to new growth.
   
   

3. Low Light: Insufficient light slows photosynthesis, leaving leaves pale or yellow.
   
   

The Fix

Start by checking your watering. If the soil feels heavy or compacted, repot in Plant Haven Aroid Mix to restore airflow. Then feed weekly with Foliage Focus. Its complete, balanced formula restores deep green color and strengthens leaf structure.

Support Root Health

Yellow leaves can also start with weak roots. Add Root Zone to your monthly routine to keep roots healthy and ensure the nutrients from Foliage Focus are fully absorbed.

Most yellowing is reversible with the right adjustments. Once the balance returns, your plant’s new leaves will tell the story through steady, vibrant growth.
