The Difference Between Patrinia and Dandelion

There are three reasons for the yellow leaves of Bauhinia. If it is caused by overwatering, it is necessary to stop watering, loosen the soil properly and then place it in a ventilated place to let the water evaporate as soon as possible. If it is caused by excessive fertilization, the leaf surface will be uneven, and the old leaves will yellow and fall. At this time, it is necessary to stop fertilizing and water more to dilute the fertilizer in the soil. If it is caused by insufficient light, it is necessary to move the potted plants to a sunny place for maintenance.
