Causes of Yellow Leaves of Mimosa
It is quite natural for a mimosa to get a few yellow leaves from time to time. This can hardly be avoided, especially in winter, when it only gets little light. If a lot of leaves turn yellow, you should investigate the causes. Possible reasons are:
- too dark location
- too sunny location
- too cool place
- too much wet
- too dry
- spider mite infestation
Mimosas need a lot of light, but don't like direct sunlight, at least not at midday.
