What causes Aroid Palm tree leaves to turn yellow?
Due to too much watering
Because it is a succulent plant, it has extremely good drought tolerance and can live in conditions of lack of water. Therefore, the plant is often not suitable for living in humid environments. If watered too much or the soil is flooded, it will easily cause the Aroid Palm tree to become waterlogged and turn yellow.
Waterlogged Aroid Palm plants often show signs such as: The base and roots rot black, and the leaves turn dark yellow and mushy.
Due to prolonged lack of water
Too much watering will cause the Aroid Palm tree to become waterlogged, but lack of water for a long time will also cause the Aroid Palm tree leaves to turn yellow.
Because, if there is too much water shortage, the plant will have to use the water stored in the stem and leaves, limiting the water supply to the old leaves. This leads to leaves turning yellow and falling more easily.
In addition, planting money plants in places with harsh light or high temperatures, including areas near electronic devices such as stoves, fireplaces, light bulbs,… is also the cause of yellow or burned leaves.
Sunburn of money plants is most easily seen when the leaves appear patchy yellow in pieces , but if the leaves turn pale yellow, dry out and fall off quickly , it is a sign of serious lack of water.The Aroid Palm tree is sunburned
