It may happen that parsley leaves turn yellow prematurely. Let’s see how to overcome the problem with an easy trick.
The causes of yellowing of parsley leaves can be different and in order to identify them, correct and careful observation is necessary.
WHY PARSLEY LEAVES TURN YELLOW
An aromatic plant widely used in cooking, parsley can quickly go bad. Yellowing of parsley leaves can occur for various reasons. Only by identifying the exact causes can an assessment be made and the problem resolved.
Requiring a precise amount of water to grow properly, if parsley is over- or under-watered, it can yellow. For this reason, parsley plants should be watered evenly, without excess or deficiency. At the same time, the plant tolerates well-drained soil, which prevents its roots from rotting and therefore yellowing.
Another reason that can cause parsley leaves to turn yellow is excessive exposure to the sun . Parsley, in fact, should be placed in partial shade.
Other causes include infections , whether from fungi, bacteria or parasites such as mites or aphids. If the plant does not have the nutrients essential for its growth, such as nitrogen or potassium, it could react with yellowing of the leaves. Yellowing could also occur due to aging of the plant but also due to a transplant gone wrong. In this case, however, the leaves may recover.
