🍂 Yellow Leaves

Yellow leaves aren’t always a reason to panic, and can be a normal part of a plant’s life cycle. Unless brand new leaves are turning yellow or all the leaves change color at once, it’s likely just your plant shedding old leaves.

Overwatering and root rot are the most likely cause of problems in Brazil's White Angel Trumpet, since they are sensitive to wet soil. The leaves may also appear to be curling or drooping. Less often, yellow leaves are caused by underwatering, nutrient deficiencies, or pests.

Replace soggy soil with fresh, dry soil and download Greg to make sure your plant never gets overwatered again!

🧐 Troubleshooting

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.

Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.

We have grown angel trumpets now for over 20 years. Our first one my husband got when he was in Horticulture class in high school from his teacher. We love these trees they’re beautiful the flowers are very fragrant and bats love them. Large upside down hanging flowers that have a ginger, citrus fragrance. Our very first angel trumpet was a white variety this one particularly is peach in color. They also have them in yellow, pink, red, purple with white. In the summertime we bring our tropicals such as this angel trumpet outside for the summertime. In the winter we bring them back inside the house and put them down in the basement under the grow lights. The angel trumpets grow rather large and require a large pot, this one particularly is 25 or 30 inch pot. They are very temperamental and susceptible to aphids, white flies, spider mites, and other pests. You must be willing to spray to get rid of the pests that they get or find some natural predators to place on the plant like praying mantis, wasps, ladybugs 🐞 Angel Trumpets are one of our favorite and we definitely recommend people try them out 🌸
