Solution
Chlorosis:
A shortage of chlorophyll causes chlorosis, which causes typically green leaves to turn yellow.
Chlorosis is caused by numerous circumstances, either separately or in combination.
In certain instances, it is a normal phase of the plant's growth cycle, but it can also be a sign of harmful elements such as nutrient deficits, pests, illnesses, or cultural issues.
The entire leaf may turn yellow or white in more extreme situations, and the leaf's edges may scorch or turn brown.
