Fans of indoor flowers know that spathiphyllum is unpretentious in its care.

This flower is called "women's happiness" and its leaves often start to turn yellow.

If the leaves do not turn yellow en masse, then there is no need to worry. But if the opposite happens, then it is worth taking measures.

First, you need to find the reason for this phenomenon.

Then the leaves need to be cut as short as possible. Sprinkle activated carbon on the cut site.

If the flower is affected by pests, you need to treat the plant with a soap or tobacco solution, or a special insecticide.

Leaves are starting to turn yellow due to lack of magnesium. It is worth feeding the plant with magnesium sulfate.

If the flower is affected by fungus, it should be treated with Fundazole.

If you have done everything and still have not achieved any results, you need to replant the flower.

It needs to be carefully removed from the old soil, shaken off and transplanted into new soil.
