Why Your Leaves Are Turning Yellow (And What to Do About It)
Share
Yellowing leaves are like polite warnings. Not a meltdown. Not an emergency. Just a heads-up that something is off.
Here are the most common causes and how to fix them without guessing.
1. Over-watering
The top culprit. Check if the soil feels wet an inch below the surface. If yes, ease up. Let it dry out before watering again.
2. Lack of nutrients
If you have ruled out over-watering, it might be time to feed. Foliage Focus offers balanced support without overloading the plant.
3. Low light
Older leaves near the base will yellow first if the plant is not getting enough light. Move it closer to a window or consider a SunBlaster LED.
4. Natural shedding
Some leaf loss is normal, especially in fall. If your plant is still pushing out new growth and the yellowing is isolated, no need to worry.
5. Root issues
If yellowing spreads fast and your plant seems limp, check the roots. They may be waterlogged or suffocating. Let the plant dry and use Root Zone to rebuild strength.
