Dancehall Singer Grace Kaakie Ocansey is slowly warming herself back into the music scene after a short break to concentrate on her education.
Kaakie who has lost some weight turned heads at the just ended Close-Up dance revolution finale at Independence Square in Accra on Friday night, August 22, 2014 when she mounted the stage to perform Latex with Rapper Edem.
Kaakie appeared in a very daring black mini dress which exposes her thighs and her hips from her waist line.
Dancehall Queen Kaakie has given notice that she is currently focusing on preparations towards her final examinations at the School of Nursing, University of Ghana, and when she is done, she is coming back to claim her place as the best female dancehall artiste in Ghana.
Kaakie said in interview with Graphic Showbiz that her school work does not allow her concentrate on music now but she will hit the studio once she is done with schooling in a couple of weeks.
I feel like this question should win some sort of award for 'Most Popular'. The reason it's asked so often is because there seem to be SO many possible causes of plant leaves turning yellow. And sure, if you judge it by everyone's vastly different answers, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is one of the most complex plant issues to resolve.
The #1 main reason for an indoor plant's leaves turning yellow all stem from the same issue: a lack of nutrients. Yep, that's THE answer. But let's find out what the solution is to why YOUR plant is suffering a lack of nutrients and what you can do to fix it quick smart.
If leaves are turning yellow from the bottom of your plant up, and it's spreading fast, the most likely reason is overwatering or underwatering. Overwatering means roots can't breathe, so they stop doing their job transporting water and other nutrients to the leaves, which can cause death from oxygen deficiency. Yep, your plant is quite literally drowning.
Signs of overwatering often start with lower leaves going yellow first, then brown. Leaves become wilted, soft and limp (not dry, brittle or crispy). As it progresses, leaves may start falling off with concerning speed (when that happens, not all leaves will go yellow or brown first before falling off).
You might notice the soil is still wet when it would normally be dry by now. Under the surface, roots will likely be turning soft, slimy or mushy depending on how soon you caught it. If you didn't catch it early, roots may also smell unpleasant, quite literally like rotting vegetation (because that is what's happening).
Like this example below, common signs include lower leaves going yellow then brown, often starting at the edges. The plant will look wilted. Leaves become curled, dry, brittle and crispy (depending on how advanced it is). Stems may be also shrivel, be dry, brittle and turning brown if not caught early.
If you don't fix the cause - or if you just take the internet's advice and 'cut it off' because it's 'normal' - another leaf will start turning yellow. And another. And another, until you fix what's causing them to turn yellow in the first place. And if you've ruled out over-watering or under-watering, then a nutrient deficiency should be next on your list to check.
Another reason for yellowing leaves is soil pH. Your soil could be too acidic or too alkaline. Both are cause for concern as they can cause nutrient deficiencies, or worse, nutrients can turn toxic.
For example, if your soil pH level drops too low, the essential nutrient manganese can turn toxic. At the other end of the scale, molybdenum becomes toxic. Even if you do fertilise, the wrong soil pH can stop your plant taking up and using those goodies. It's called 'nutrient lockout'.
All of those symptoms are because fertiliser burn damages the roots, causing nutrients to be unable to reach the leaves. Too much salt in the soil can also turn soil pH toxic and can 'steal water' from the roots, causing roots to die. Above the surface (you guessed it), that causes yellow leaves and eventually, plant death.
Nitrogen deficiency usually shows up as a general yellowing with older, inner leaves turning yellow first. As it gets worse, the yellowing moves outward through the plant, reaching young leaves last.
Potassium deficiency starts off with leaf edges turning yellow, but the inner leaf stays green. Again, older leaves will show the symptoms first, and if not fixed, those leaf edges turn brown next.
Magnesium deficiency starts as yellow mottled or marbled patches between the veins on older leaves first. The yellow moves from the leaf centre outwards, with edges turning yellow last.
If you correct any watering issues, and feed a complete and balanced food with all the essential nutrients, those two actions alone often sort out yellowing leaves quick smart. You will likely still lose the leaves that are currently turning yellow, but that will often stop prevent it 'spreading' to the rest of your plant.
