Leaves speak their own language, especially when they are sick. With the help of our characteristics you can correctly interpret plant diseases.
Here are 8 features that will help you with the interpretation:
- If the leaves of trees turn yellow-green and brown spots form at the same time, a lack of magnesium is to blame. Fertilizing helps.
- If the leaves are browning from the edge inwards, it is probably due to a lack of potassium.
- If the leaves lighten and become pale, then either the irrigation water is too hard or the plant is suffering from an iron deficiency.
- If the edges of the leaves have turned brown, there can be various reasons for this. Too much water, too little water, too dry air, depleted soil or over-fertilization.
- If only the tip of the leaf turns brown, the reason is that the soil or air is too dry.
- If the leaves are turning yellow, the location is too cool or too dark, it has been watered too much or the plant is suffering from a lack of nitrogen.
- If you observe growths that look like cork stains, then an extreme change in temperature is usually to blame. Too little light or too much water can also be the cause.
- Curled leaves are an indication of damage to the roots, too dry root balls or too dry air.
