Swallow palm, also known as holly, evergreen and so on, is a more common succulent plant, its branches and leaves are very thick and cute, and evergreen, deeply loved and sought after by everyone. However, there are some swallow palms farmed by flower friends who actually show dry leaves. How can this be solved?

How to water and fertilize the swallow's palm

1. Fertilization skills: generally speaking, when we apply fertilizer, we don't just sprinkle it directly, but we also have certain skills when applying fertilization. we can loosen the soil properly before fertilization to make its soil a little looser, so that its roots can fully absorb the nutrients of fertilizer, so that it can grow better. And when fertilizing, we should be careful not to let the fertilizer touch its roots and its leaves, otherwise it will be easy to burn out its roots and leaves, and fertilize around the edge as far as possible when fertilizing. it's not easy to sprinkle on the leaves and roots.

2. Watering skills: when watering, you can't wash it with too much water, otherwise it will cause the soil in the basin to become uneven, and it is not very good for the root. We can spray its crown with a small spray can once or twice a day. If you forget to water it for a long time, you must not start watering directly with the spray can. We should wrap its trunk with a water-absorbing cloth and spray the tree crown again. This prevents its roots from being damaged. Try to spray some water on its leaves, so that it can keep its leaves very shiny for a long time, look green and green, and make people feel better. So watering should also be paid attention to.

Causes of soft and dry leaves of swallow palms and their solutions

1. Reason: in fact, softening of swallow palm leaves is a phenomenon often encountered when moving pots. Mainly because there are varying degrees of damage to the roots in the process of moving the basin, the damage to the roots will lead to the weakening of the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients, and when it is serious, the plant will enter a state of dehydration, and the leaves will slowly soften without the maintenance of water.

Solution: you can trim off all the old leaves, diseased leaves and insect leaves in the lower half of the plant, so as to reduce the waste of water and improve the survival rate. Don't take other measures blindly at this time. Just wait for the roots to return to normal and the leaves will slowly become plump and tender.

2. The reason: after watering the basin, the swallow's palm is exposed to the sun, resulting in dehydration, which will not only soften the leaves, but also seriously affect the survival rate of moving the basin.

Solution: first of all, move the plant to a well-ventilated place with astigmatism or semi-shade, so that the swallow's palm can return to normal, and the soil should not remain moist for a long time. When watering, observe the soil first. When there are cracks or slightly whitening on the soil surface, watering can be carried out. If the soil is not dry, watering is strictly prohibited. The soil is dry and watered, which is very effective in restoring its normal growth.

What if the swallow palm doesn't blossom?

1. Appropriate lighting

Swallow palms prefer places with more sunshine, so if the light is not enough, it will not blossom easily, so we can put it in a sunny and warm place, which is the key place for it to blossom. So if your swallow's palm does not blossom, you should see if it is caused by poor light, if you often put it in a relatively cool place, if so, you have to change the place and move to a place facing the sun.

2. Moisture control

Swallow palm is a kind of fleshy plant, so it is relatively drought-resistant. Remember that you should not water too much when watering, otherwise it will easily cause stagnant water, which will make its roots rot more easily. When do you usually water it? you have to wait until it is dry, and you have to wait until it is dry. This kind of suitable watering can also make it blossom quickly. Finally, we should also remember that we must not let the rainstorm get caught, or it will easily cause its leaves to fall.

3. Fertilization

When it grows, it is usually fertilized once every 7 to 10 days, usually with relatively thin liquid fertilizer. Remember that the fertilizer must not be too thick, or it will easily burn its roots. Thick fertilizer can not be used in order to make it blossom faster, which is also a reason not to blossom. And when fertilizing, do not let the fertilizer fall on the leaves, otherwise the leaves will be burned away.

4. Soil

Sometimes if the ventilation of the soil is not very good, it will not be easy to make it blossom. You can check whether your soil is loose and drainage is good. If it is not good, you should change the soil to move the basin and replant it. If it is ventilated in this way, it will blossom as soon as possible.
