What to do if the leaves of the hanging bamboo plum turn yellow and soft

1. First, consider whether the flower pot is too small. After the bonsai root system is well developed, the original pot can no longer meet the plant's growth requirements. There is too little soil, and the growth is restricted, causing the leaves to wilt. At this time, you should replace it with a larger pot and pay attention to protecting the root system.

2. Excessive watering may cause root rot, plant nutrient absorption and leaf withering. At this time, watering should be controlled and fertilization should be reduced.

3. Too little water makes it difficult to absorb trace elements in the soil, and it is easy to cause leaves to wilt. At this time, the frequency of watering should be increased.

4. Too much fertilizer will cause the flowers to turn yellow, while too little fertilizer will cause the flowers to turn thin and yellow. The amount of fertilizer should be properly controlled, and trace elements such as potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen should be properly supplemented.

5. Use fertile soil. Do not use soil with high alkaline or acid content. Avoid strong light exposure.
