Causes of yellow ivory betel leaf

The cause of yellowing of the ivory betel leaf is too much sun exposure and too much air in the soil.

However, it turns out that it's not only that, the real cause of yellowing of the ivory betel leaf is

1. Soil conditions that are too dry are one of the causes of yellowing of the ivory betel leaf

This is one of the causes of yellowing of betel leaves, namely the condition of the soil in polybags that is too dry. Soil plays an important role in the growth of roots, stems and leaves. Because, the soil contains nutrients as well as minerals for plants.

For cases like the photo above, Uma also sees plants in the shade. This plant can lack water. Assuming plants are placed in the shade, do not need to be watered. Eh it turns out it still needs to be watered

2. Leaves exposed to too much sun

In contrast to the case above, it shows that the cause of yellowing of the ivory betel leaf is due to too much exposure to sunlight. But, let's look again at the field. Dry right?

It could be said, although ivory betel may be placed in an area that is exposed to full sun or a lot of sun, the soil moisture is maintained. So that it doesn't dry out like in the photo

3. Soil conditions are too moist or wet

The plants at Uma's house were much fresher than the previous month. However, the weather conditions that average rain like this, do not necessarily apply to ivory betel.

Watering the plants sufficiently will help the roots to absorb air more optimally. You could say, there is no excess water that reaches the ground or spills out of the pot or polybag.

Excess water is also the cause, precisely on the underside of the leaves - This results in discoloration of the leaves.

4. Plants will wither or die

The ivory betel plant will fall or die, there are signs. It starts with yellowing of the leaves, then half of the leaves are damaged or browned, followed by rotting of adjacent stems in the leaf buds. After that, all parts of the plant rot.

All parts of the plant have turned yellow and are lying. If it holds the rod, it slips. Not upright anymore. Now on the placemat, there's a safety sign. It is also what makes the plant lay down or die.

5. Soil Lacks Nutrients

There are no nutrients in plants, especially betel ivory which is still needed. There are two types, namely macro and micro nutrients.

From the website of the Pontianak City Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Service, the cause of yellowing of the ivory betel leaf is due to a lack of macro nutrients, especially nitrogen.

The element nitrogen is able to help the leaves during the formation of chlorophyll. Well, chlorophyll is a kind of support for leaves to carry out photosynthesis.
