Chlorosis
Short definition
Chlorosis is yellowing of leaves or other green plant tissue, which can come from a nutrient shortage, too much water or poor root health.
The yellow appears because the plant is not making enough chlorophyll. Which leaves yellow first, and whether the veins stay green, helps point to the cause.
Why it matters in Dubai
Overwatering and poor drainage are common reasons in Dubai, because they damage roots that then cannot take up nutrients. Check drainage and watering before adding fertiliser.
