My chinese buddah plant - the leaves have gone yellowey instead of green.. what am i doing wrong?

Question

What am i doing wrong? How can i save it from dieing!?

Answer 1

possibly too much water- leaves often turn yellow

Answer 2

Too much water could be the problem. Keep the soil moist, but not soaked, and let it dry out now and then.

Yellow leaves can also be a symptom of insufficient nitrogen. Pick a fertilizer or plant food that lists its nitrogen content. Room-temperature coffee or the grounds themselves can give plants a quick kick of nitrogen.

Answer 3

It could be several things. Too much or too little water. Too much will rot the roots, too little...

Lift the pot. Light = dry, aerate (poke holes in dirt) and water. Heavy = wet, allow to dry out.

It could also need coperas - iron rich fertilizer. An alternative to coperas is sticking rusty nails (metal) in the potting soil.

good luck
