Why does your Chrysanthemum Anderson White have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Chrysanthemums are sensitive to waterlogged soil, which leads to hypoxia in the root zone. This prevents the roots from transporting essential nutrients, causing older leaves to turn yellow and eventually drop.
Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient in Chrysanthemums; when levels are low, the plant moves nitrogen from older foliage to new growth. This manifests as a uniform yellowing of the lower leaves first.
This fungal pathogen thrives in the damp conditions often found in Chrysanthemum pots, attacking the root system. As roots decay, the plant loses its ability to maintain chlorophyll, resulting in chlorosis.
If the soil pH is too high (alkaline), Chrysanthemums cannot absorb iron effectively. This causes yellowing between the leaf veins, while the veins themselves remain green.
