What if the leaves of potted pocket coconuts turn yellow and dry?

Pocket coconut shade is very suitable for indoor small potted plants, decorating living room, study and conference room to add tropical charm to the interior. So what if the leaves of pocket coconuts turn yellow and dry in the process of breeding?

First, what if the leaves of the coconut turn yellow and dry?

1. Increase watering

The growth rate of pocket coconut is very fast, so its growth process needs sufficient water to supply, otherwise the lack of water, the basin soil is too dry will lead to the phenomenon of yellow leaves.

The growth of pocket coconut needs to be accompanied by regular watering to keep the basin soil moist, so as to ensure the healthy growth and development of the plant.

2. Reduce the light

Pocket coconuts like semi-humid and semi-overcast environment, so places with excessive light are not suitable for the growth of pocket coconuts. Strong sunlight will make pocket coconuts fade or turn yellow, losing their original bright and ornamental value.

Pocket coconuts should be preserved in places where there is plenty of scattered light on a daily basis, which will not only benefit plant growth but also reduce health problems caused by yellowing leaves.

3. Increase humidity

Humidity is also an important element in the growth of pocket coconuts, and low humidity can cause leaves to wither.

In order to maintain the appropriate air humidity, the air humidity must be high, and water can be sprinkled around the pot to prevent the humidity from decreasing and ensure the normal growth and development of the plant.

4. Increase the light

Pocket coconuts tend to grow in a cold environment, so putting them in places with more intense sunlight will turn the leaves yellow and lead to death.

Daily maintenance needs to place pocket coconuts in places where the growth light is not strong, which will meet the growth needs of pocket coconuts.

5. Reduce fertilization

The growth and development of pocket coconuts need to meet all the nutrients they need, so they need to be fertilized in time, but not too frequently.

The time of fertilization can be relatively extended, and the degree of fertilization should be appropriate.

6. Treatment of diseases and insect pests

High temperatures in summer can cause pocket coconuts to be infected with diseases and insect pests, resulting in yellowing of leaves and, in severe cases, withering and death of plants.

During the growth of pocket coconuts, attention should be paid to maintaining the ventilation of the environment and the permeability of the soil. If diseases are found and outbreaks, chlorothalonil and topiramate can be sprayed for control.

Second, the key points of daily maintenance of rare coconuts

1. Temperature

Pocket coconuts like to be warm, with a suitable growth temperature of 18 mi 24 degrees Celsius and 13 degrees Celsius into dormancy. It's best not to be less than 10 degrees Celsius in winter.

2. Lighting

Pocket coconuts prefer semi-cool places, preferably astigmatism conservation, if illuminated by strong light, the leaves will be withered and yellow, but placed in the lack of light for a long time, the plant will become thin and long.

3. Watering

Pocket coconuts like water, keep the soil moist during growth, and wait until 2/3 of the basin soil is dry during dormancy before watering. In addition, pocket coconuts like high air humidity. If they are too dry, the leaf tips will turn brown. During the drying period, such as autumn, it is necessary to spray water to the leaves and so on to improve air humidity.

4. Fertilization

Compound fertilizer can be applied to the plant once a month during the growing period. Dilute liquid nitrogen fertilizer is applied every half a month. Apply less or stop fertilizing in autumn.

5. Potted soil

It is best to plant in a loose and fertile loam with good drainage. Rotten leaf soil, peat soil plus 1/4 sediment or perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer can be used to prepare culture soil, or 70% of vegetable garden soil can be mixed with 30% of rotten leaf soil.
