With its bizarre aerial roots, the Ficus Ginseng, also known as the laurel fig, is a very attractive houseplant. However, the attractiveness quickly leaves something to be desired when the actually lush green leaves turn yellow. Then you need to act quickly.
Why does my Ficus Ginseng have yellow leaves?
Yellow leaves on Ficus Ginseng can be caused by waterlogging, dryness, lack of nutrients or a pot that is too small. This can be remedied by adjusting the irrigation, fertilizing regularly and, if necessary, repotting into a larger container.
Possible reasons for yellow leaves:
- Waterlogging
- drought
- Nutrient Deficiency
- pot may be too small
How can I help my Ficus Ginseng?
Just a finger test will probably show you why the leaves of your Ficus Ginseng have turned yellow. If the planter is too small, you should repot your bay fig immediately to avoid further nutrient deficiency.
Earth that is too wet or too dry can be clearly felt. Of course, watering helps when it's dry, but removing water helps when it's waterlogged. If your laurel fig has already suffered significant damage or lost a lot of leaves, then it is better to repot the plant in dry soil.
Tip
Regular fertilization helps against nutrient deficiencies.
