If the soil in a pot with a flower is dry, and the leaves turn yellow and fall off, the plant needs water. But after a long drought, it is important not to overwater the flower right away; start adding water in small portions, but do it more often, gradually entering a standard schedule.
When Zamioculcas stands near a window that opens frequently or a balcony door, cold drafts can cause yellowing. In this case, move the pot with the plant to a place away from drafts and provide it with sufficient light.
The tips of zamioculcas leaves dry out? This means that the air in the room is too dry for the plant.. In this case, you can sometimes spray its crown with water or foliar fertilizer.
If the leaves of a flower turn yellow and the base of the pot is damp, most likely you have overwatered the flower and its roots have begun to rot.. In this case, stop watering the plant.. You can try to dry the substrate a little or transplant the plant into a new pot. And don’t forget to remove rotten roots first.
Brown spots on the leaves indicate that zamioculcas is being burned by direct sunlight.. Just move it to where the light will be diffused and it will recover.
