Many experienced gardeners know that plants can start to turn yellow due to improper care.

To ensure that such a problem never arises, you just need to know about one simple trick.

Landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", believes that it is possible to carry out high-quality prevention using one simple method.

What does it consist of?

As it turns out, the reason for this phenomenon may be trivial - it is quite possible that you are simply using too hard water. If you are using standard tap water, then the yellowing of the foliage is quite understandable.

Therefore, we just need to improve the quality of the water.

You can simply let it settle. Others either install special purification systems or use filter jugs.

You can also do it in an even more cunning way.

To make the water significantly softer, you need to add some citric acid to the container. As a rule, the dosage varies from two to three grams per large (10 l) volume of water.

This small amount of powder will improve the quality of the water, but will not make the soil more acidic.
