Overwinter the lily: What do yellow leaves mean?
Despite its exotic origin, the African lily Agapanthus as a container plant is somewhat undemanding in terms of care. If your Schmucklilie once get yellow leaves, this can have different causes.
The hibernation leaf-feeding Agapanthus
All kinds of lilies in this country in the field are usually not hardy. However, there are several subspecies of the African lily, which either winter evergreen or only as Wurzelrhizom. The so-called leaf-feeding Agapanthus get more and more yellow leaves in the fall, which can be cut off when entering the winter quarters.
Yellowing of leaves during the growing season
If your African lily receives yellow leaves during the spring and summer seasons, this may be due to the following causes:
Since lilies do not like waterlogging, several holes in the bottom of the planter should ensure an unimpeded outflow of excess liquid.
Tips & Tricks
If you have cloudy weather in April or May, you may want to wipe off the lilies of the island. Otherwise, sunburn may be the result of yellow spots.
