The yellow leaves of Rhododendron may be caused by too strong alkaline soil. At this time, it is necessary to replace the slightly acidic culture soil, or monthly irrigation of ferrous sulfate solution, to acidify its flower soil. It could also be caused by too much light. At this time, we should move it to a shaded place, cut off the yellow leaves, and wait for it to grow new leaves. It may also be caused by overwatering. At this time, the rotten roots and yellow leaves on the plant should be cut off, and then it should be planted in the new soil for maintenance.
