Why do bamboo palms always have yellow leaves?

There are probably four reasons for the yellowing leaves of bamboo palm: improper watering, in which case the amount should be controlled and the water should be poured thoroughly; the light is too strong, so it should be moved to a cool place with diffuse light; improper fertilization, in which case thin liquid fertilizer should be applied as much as possible, and the fertilizer concentration should not be too high; the soil is too alkaline, so lemon water can be added to acidify the soil and lower the pH value of the soil.

How to remedy the problem of yellow leaves on bamboo palm

Improper watering

If there is too little water, increase watering. If there is too much water, remove the pot, cut off the rotten roots and repot. Spray the bamboo palm frequently, and water thoroughly when watering, so that the soil becomes moist but not sticky. At the same time, increase the humidity of the air, which helps to restore the yellowing leaves.

Improper fertilization

If the leaves turn yellow due to excessive fertilization, stop fertilizing immediately and flush away the fertilizer with water. Fertilization should be appropriate. During the growth period, apply thin liquid fertilizer once every fifteen to twenty days, avoiding the leaves, and try to choose the time in the evening.

Soil nutrient deficiency

If the soil is too alkaline, you can add some lemon water or diluted vinegar water from time to time to neutralize the acidity and alkalinity in the soil and make the soil gradually acidic. In this way, the yellowing leaves can gradually recover.

How to manage bamboo palm in winter

1. As long as the bamboo palm is moved indoors in winter and maintained above 0℃, it can safely overwinter.

2. It is best if the temperature is above 10℃, then the leaves of the bamboo palm will be green.

3. In winter, due to the low temperature, growth stops, so the frequency and amount of watering should be controlled, and the soil in the pot should be slightly dry.

4. In winter, since the bamboo palm enters dormancy, fertilization should be stopped.

5. Low temperature and high humidity can easily cause root rot and massive leaf fall of bamboo palm.
