PARIJATHAM PROBLEM
Parijatham problems usually rear their ugly heads during the spring. Luckily, there are remedies for all sorts of problems, from wilted leaves to lack of blooms, that can make your plant healthy again.

Yellow Leaves

One of the most common problems with parijatham is yellow leaves. This can happen whether your plants are outdoors year round or if you keep them indoors.



Leaves usually turn yellow due to:

  • Cold temperatures: If your plants are indoors, move them to a warmer area or increase the temperature in the room they are in
  • Poor drainage: Be sure you are keeping the plants moist, but not wet. Place indoor plant pots on rocks in their dishes to ensure they never sit in water. Outdoor plants should be in well-drained soil. The soil composition should include a mixture of sand and vermiculite, especially if you have clay soil.
  • Soil lacking important nutrients: Add a soil acidifier, such as MirAcid, iron or magnesium supplements to the soil. Read all package directions carefully before application.
Browning or Brown Spots on Leaves

Parijatham love a moist environment. However, they don't like being drenched or having water on their leaves.

Brown leaves or brown spots are usually due to:


  • Poor drainage: Parijatham love to be moist, but not soaking wet. Be sure the plant is allowed to drain thoroughly between waterings.
  • Not enough humidity for indoor plants: Try using a humidifier in the room where you keep your Parijatham.
  • Not enough sunlight: Parijatham need at least eight hours of full sunlight each day.
  • Pests: Check your plants for pests underneath the leaves, in the soil, and on the stems. The type of pest will determine which pesticide you will use. Spider mites commonly cause brown spots, and they can be treated with Neem.
  • Improper pH: Check your soil pH, which should be 5.0 to 5.5. Add MirAcid if necessary.
