What causes potted plants to dry up?

Chlorophytum, fresh green leaves, leaves shaped like orchids, fresh and elegant, is a very popular foliage plants. Many people will raise a pot of spider plants at home, if not properly maintained, potted spider plants are prone to dry leaf tips, what is the cause? How can this phenomenon be prevented?

1. The reason why the tip of the spider leaf is dry

1, basin water, nutrient fibrous root rot caused by

Because the pot soil is hardened or too sticky, or too much watering, etc., it causes the decay of the vegetative fibrous roots of the spider plant, so that the ability of the root system to absorb water will be greatly reduced, which will lead to blackening of the tip of the spider plant and inward curvature of the edge. If this is the case, you can remove the plant from the pot, shake off part of the old soil, cut off the rotten root system part, replace it with clean wet sand planting, keep the sand moist, do not spray too much water, wait for the white and tender fine fibrous roots to be born, and then replace the fertile culture soil planting.

2, humidity, light, temperature caused

The air is dry, the sun is too hot, the temperature is too high. This situation mainly occurs in summer and autumn, because the spider plant likes to grow in humid and semi-shady environment, once the air is too dry, the sun is not blocked, if the temperature is as high as 30℃ or above, it is easy to cause the leaf tip of the spider plant to wither. If this is the case, the plant can be moved to a semi-shady environment, cut off dead leaves, and often spray the leaves and the environment. The newly sprouted leaves can be restored to their normal state.

3, a long time did not give the basin caused

Long time without changing pots causes root growth to reach the pot wall. In the environment of high temperature, high drought or cold weather, it is easy to cause the tip of the root system to atrophy and necrosis, so that it loses its due absorption function, resulting in dry and withered leaf tips. If this is the case, you can first pour the plant out of the pot, cut off the dead leaves or the necrotic parts of the leaves, then pick up part of the old soil, delete some aging or necrotic roots, re-use fresh culture soil to plant well, put it in a cool, humid, semi-shady environment, pay attention to more water, less watering, the new tender leaves of the plant can be restored to normal.

4. The roots were injured when transplanting and changing soil.

After transplanting, the roots are injured or there is no good growth environment. After planting, pay attention to the maintenance in warm and sheltered places, irrigate enough root water for the first time, and control watering later. Spray water on leaves every day to avoid drying of leaves. However, it is normal for the blades to roll in, as long as the spray is maintained for about one week, the blades can be unfolded. When planting in the upper pot, it is necessary to prune the roots to promote the germination of new roots and increase their vitality. They can cut off long roots and dry roots.

2. How to prevent the tip of the spider leaf from drying out?

1) Appropriate lighting. Chlorophytum prefer semi-shady environment, autumn should avoid strong direct sunlight. Autumn sunlight is particularly strong, during the day to cover 50% to 70% of the sun, otherwise it will make the tip of the leaf dry, especially the flower juice varieties, more afraid of strong light.

2. Appropriate amount of fertilizer. Chlorophytum is a relatively fertile foliage plants, if the lack of fertilizer, easy to senescence, yellow leaves, loss of ornamental value. Organic fertilizer should be applied once every 7~10 days, but for flower varieties such as Phnom Penh and Jinxin, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied less, so as not to lighten or even disappear the flower color and affect the appearance. Spraying flower strengthening spirit in proper time and amount can make flowers and leaves bright and beautiful and prolong flowering period.

3. Water properly. Chlorophytum hi humid environment, to keep the pot soil moist, autumn watering should be sufficient, around noon and evening should also spray water on the branches and leaves, in case the leaves dry up. Such as more dust on the spider orchid, both affecting its growth, but also affecting its beauty, so often spray water on the branches and leaves, keep the branches and leaves beautiful. Lower dead leaves, yellow leaves should be picked at any time, usually to maintain normal humidity, should not be dry, should not be too wet.
