Hi, does anyone know what could be causing the yellowing of the leaves on this rose? It moved house about a month ago so initially assumed stress but now I’m not so sure.

What is your watering and lighting situation?

Also do you use tap water?

#### El \<3 replied on 2024-07-09

I do use tap water, it’s suitable for drinking but I’m not sure if that’s better or worse 😅 It’s in a south-facing window so doesn’t get much direct sun but it is quite a bright room

I wait to water until the top 1-2cm of soil is dry as suggested by the app

Tap water is bad for plants lol  
Think of it as an allergy

It helps them but then also doesn’t

To fix the problem and hopefully prevent more yellowing leaves  
Leave your tap water out for a few days before watering

Mine are like dying and it kinda looks like mold white fuzzy stuff

#### El \<3 replied on 2024-07-09

On the leaves or on the soil?

### Ariana commented on 2024-07-09

Leaves and roses

#### El \<3 replied on 2024-07-09

Seems like it could benefit from a fungal treatment/spray or is perhaps in too humid an area

### Ariana commented on 2024-07-09

Good to know thanks

#### El \<3 replied on 2024-07-09

No problem, hope it helps 😊
