🍂Yellowing leaves on your houseplants can be caused by a number of conditions. Sometimes the cause is obvious, which means that you can diagnose and fix it immediately. There are other times when the problem is more of a mystery. In these cases, you’ll need to try changing one thing at a time until you see improvement in your plant. Do your best to eliminate these common reasons for yellowing leaves, then wait to see what happens. ☀️ Plants that receive too little light will often start to yellow on the lower leaves before those leaves drop. If this is your issue, there is a clue that you can look for. A plant that is yellowing from a lack of light will typically yellow on the side that is away from the light source. The leaves near the window are getting all the light and blocking the opposite side. A great way to remedy this is to turn the pot a bit once a week. 🍼 Plant leaves may also turn yellow if a plant is not receiving all of the nutrients it requires. This can be caused by too much calcium in the water if you’re using hard water or by a nitrogen deficiency. If this is the problem, the plant’s top leaves may be the first to go yellow. In other cases, you might notice an unusual pattern to the yellowing. For instance, the veins may remain dark while the tissue between them turns yellow. Best way to solve this will be to repot it into better soil and try to use purified water. 🦠 If your plant has a viral infection, it might show up as blotchy, spreading yellow patches on leaves throughout the plant. This may be accompanied by deformed leaves and stems, as well as discolored flowers. Viral infections in plants may not be able to be cured and can infect all susceptible plants nearby. As soon as a sick plant is noticed, quarantine it from the rest of your plants. 🌱There are also a few more causes for yellow leaves.
