Although the spider plant is considered relatively easy to care for, that doesn't mean that it doesn't take offense at all. Occasionally yellow or brown leaves appear, then you should take remedial measures and your plant will recover quickly.
Why does my spider plant have yellow leaves and how can I treat them?
Yellow leaves on a spider plant can be caused by too little light or mealybugs and mealybugs. To solve the problem, move the plant to a brighter location or use daylight lamps and treat louse infestations with neem oil (€28.00 on Amazon).
Your spider plant may not have received enough light and is reacting to this with yellow leaves. With two-colored plants, the light stripe can sometimes no longer be seen. Infestation by mealybugs or mealybugs reacts in the same way.
How to treat yellow leaves?
If your spider plant is too dark, move it closer to the window. A daylight lamp could also help. A greasy coating indicates a lice infestation. Rinse the spider plant thoroughly and spray the plant with neem oil (€28.00 on Amazon).
First aid against yellow leaves:
- Change location to a bright place
- Neem oil for louse infestation
