Why does your Spathiphyllum Bingo Cupido have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Spathiphyllum varieties like 'Bingo Cupido' are highly susceptible to root rot if the growing medium remains saturated. Excess water displaces oxygen in the soil, causing the roots to decay and preventing them to transport nutrients, resulting in uniform yellowing of older leaves.
As a cultivar valued for its lush foliage, 'Bingo Cupido' requires consistent nitrogen levels. A lack of nitrogen prevents the production of chlorophyll, causing older leaves to turn pale yellow before moving toward new growth.
Peace lilies are sensitive to fluoride, chlorine, and salts found in municipal tap water. The buildup of these minerals in the leaf tissue can cause chlorosis (yellowing) and necrotic brown edges.
While 'Bingo Cupido' prefers indirect light, sudden exposure to direct sunlight can cause the chlorophyll to break down. This solar damage manifests as yellowing patches that often transition into scorched brown spots.
