Christmas Cactus leaves turning yellow
Comments (6)Thank you all for the help! After reading your responses, it triggered in my memory, that after coming home from a week's vacation, that I watered my Christmas Cactus two days in a row, which I have never done before. I did overwater it. I took some of your advice and tried putting it outside, hoping it would help dry it out and recover. It has gotten rained on a couple times, so it is still recovering. Is there anything else that I can do to help it recover faster, or just to make sure it comes back completely? It hasn't lost too many more leaves, but parts of it are still pretty yellow. Also, when I do water my plant on my normal regular basis, I water it from the bottom up. I have a special pot with a hole in the bottom to water it there. Would the roots still possibly be hardened from watering with doing it that way? I'm wondering if I should still un-pot the whole thing and then re-pot it. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks to everyone!...See MoreCoconut Palms turning yellow!
Comments (1)Maybe add a little nitrogen to the soil? If they've survived there for two years, it isn't transplant shock. They may have depleted the nutrients in the soil and need more food? Put some compost around the base and let it soak into the soil or a light fertilizing....See MoreLady Palms turning yellow and not growing
Comments (6)Nice looking plants. That's quite an investment in choice palms. I have to agree though- they are not palms for full sun and staying green. UC Berkeley does have a row of a related Lady palm that might get a half day of sun. They have held green on that. I myself have one that's just now recovering in part shade from a severe gopher attack two years ago. My plant just wilted,some canes died...and its just barely coming back. Ah,when it was on my porch, it was a showy plant. Also,one last- they like a liberal watering schedule. Some of that burn might be from too dry and sun rather then just the sun....See MoreSplotchy Yellow Leaves on Christmas Palm
Comments (6)I use Foliage Pro liquid fertilizer( It was highly recommended and initially created wonderful , strong growth ) Recently, I have transplanted the palm into a larger pot after 2 years in a crowded nursery pot in my home….So that may be the problem. I am hoping the 'splotching' will cease now that the palm is in fresh soil. I see no webs or scales. Spider mites usually have those tell-tale webs early. I have never rinsed the soil due to it's size. The trees sit under a skylight and gets sun daily. It seems to love the sun. This is the crowded, original pot and the new pot I transplanted it into. A local nursery man believes that my Christmas palms are showing signs of stress. Here is a recent pic although you can't see the leaf mottling. What do you think? thanks...See MoreSamuel Miensinompe
