Plants have their
seasonality and temperature tolerance. Seasonal plants would find it difficult
to survive in opposite season than that of their own. Some of the plants will
not survive in another season. Some plants will survive however will not bloom.
Perennial plants however generally will have better tolerance and would be able
to sail through all seasons easily. But sometimes despite of all your care,
leaves do not stop turning yellow.
It happens mostly for the below reasons:
Moisture Imbalance
Moisture imbalance happens
due to over watering or under watering. Check the soil of the plant regularly.
If you notice it to be dry mostly, increase the watering frequency. Similarly, check if you have been watering it
more.
Temperature
Sudden changes in the
temperature conditions might result in yellowing the leaves. Check about the
plant and its temperature tolerance levels. You can check it on www.paudhewala.com as well. Adjust the
environment for the plant if you can.
Light Conditions
Low
light may also be a reason for your plant leaves to turn yellow. Adjust the
light, keep the plant in more light and see the difference. Be careful to know
the plant first as more light can turn the leaves brown.
Fertilization
Sometimes we are unable to
understand plants fertilisation needs and keep giving fertilisers to the plants
in order to make them grow fast which will might burn the plant and leaves may
start turning yellow. Understand the time and needs of the plants and then only
fertilise.
Soil and Pot Size
If the plant gets potted in
an unsuitable soil, the leaves may turn yellow. Be careful while potting the
plant. We generally think that any kind of soil is fine for the plants, however
that is not the case. Understand the plant and its soil requirements and pot it
accordingly. Also, if the pot is small, and the plant has overgrown the pot,
change it to a bigger pot.
Bacterial Infection
Check
your plant for bacterial infection and treat them with pesticides if need be.
