Chlorosis is a condition in plants where the leaf tissue becomes pale or yellowish due to a lack of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis in plant leaves.
Chlorosis can be caused by various factors, such as a deficiency of iron, manganese, or nitrogen in the soil, too much lime in the soil, or poor soil drainage. To avoid or treat chlorosis, it is important to check the soil for its nutrient content and, if necessary, add fertilizers or loosen the soil to achieve better drainage.
