Why did the ficus turn yellow?

Most likely, the plant is experiencing a nitrogen deficiency.

After all, it is thanks to this element that the ficus leaf blades acquire a beautiful green color.

Yellowing of the plant may be even more serious due to dry air, lack of light and improper watering.

Solution for saving a yellowed ficus

To restore the plant's health and return it to its original appearance, you need a product prepared on the basis of urea.

Take a deep container, pour a liter of warm water into it, add one gram of urea and a couple of drops of liquid fertilizer, which is intended specifically for decorative foliage plants.

Mix the contents of the container well.

Next, dip a cotton pad into the resulting solution and carefully wipe the stems.

After this, water the soil with liquid. Be careful not to over-water the soil.

The corresponding procedure should be performed 1-2 times a month.

Don't forget about other important rules for caring for ficus: placing the plant in a bright place, protecting it from direct sunlight, regular (but not too frequent) watering, cleaning the leaf blades from dust.

Using urea and following all the above recommendations will restore the ficus's beautiful appearance.
