What if the leaves of the latest rich tree droop?

The rich tree was formerly known as melon chestnut, but it is more called rich tree in our country, because its name implies good meaning, coupled with beautiful plant shape, stems and leaves are evergreen all the year round, so it is deeply loved by people, and it is a very popular indoor foliage plant. But as a kind of foliage plant, if there is something wrong with the leaves, it will greatly affect its ornamental value. Below, the pro-agricultural network will introduce to you what to do if the leaves of the rich tree droop.

The drooping of the leaves of the rich tree is actually quite common in the process of planting the rich tree. People who have been farmed will often see the leaves of the rich tree suddenly shrug and pull. The pro-agricultural network has mainly summed up three points here, including improper watering, insufficient lighting and changing pots. Let's take a look at it.

I. improper watering

Improper watering is the main reason for the sagging of the leaves of rich trees. Improper watering here mainly refers to the loss of water, and most of the sagging leaves of rich trees are caused by the loss of water, mainly in two aspects: excessive watering and soil consolidation.

1. Too much watering

Too much watering will also cause water loss, yes, you heard correctly, too much watering will lead to water loss. The reason is that too much watering will cause the roots to rot and the leaves to droop. When watering the rich tree, there is a very important point, that is, the soil cannot accumulate water. Basically, when watering the rich tree, the water should be watered thoroughly, but stagnant water is strictly forbidden. If the soil is watered for a long time, the root system will rot and the water will not be absorbed, which will easily lead to leaf sagging.

Solution.

Too much watering leads to rotten roots. The pro-agricultural network has a specific introduction in the previous article, through the treatment and disinfection of rotten roots, and then re-change the soil and plant them. Basically, if the rotten roots are not serious, they can come back to life. After that, we should pay attention to watering to avoid rotting roots again.

two。 Soil consolidation

Soil consolidation is caused by poor ventilation and drainage of the selected soil. if soil consolidation occurs, it will lead to a decrease in the permeability of water, and the water can not be absorbed by the roots, which will make the leaves lose water and then cause the leaves to sag.

Solution.

In this case, the only way is to change the soil, after all, let plants grow for a long time in an environment they do not like, there is no help to the growth of plants, rich trees like more fertile and loose soil, acidic soil with better permeability, try to provide it with a suitable growth environment when planting.

Second, the light is too little

The rich tree needs a certain amount of light, except for the shade in summer, the rest of the time can be full light. If exposed to too little light, it will make its branches and leaves grow weak, the leaves are larger, and there is a sagging phenomenon.

Solution.

At this time, the rich tree can be pruned, cut off part of the overlong branches, and keep the main part at about 30cm, so that it can not only maintain its beauty, but also prevent the branches from overgrowing and sagging, and then ensure sufficient light. In this way, the rich tree can grow healthily.

Third, the leaves droop after changing the basin.

This is a relatively normal phenomenon, because the rich tree needs a certain period of adaptation after changing the basin, which is called slow basin or slow seedling, and it will gradually return to normal after this period of time, of course, the premise is that the rich tree is in a relatively healthy state before changing the basin. If there are diseases and other problems before changing the basin, it is recommended to wait until it returns to health before changing the basin.

The above is the introduction about the sagging leaves of the rich trees introduced by the pro-agricultural network here. Generally speaking, the drooping leaves of the rich trees are not a big problem as long as they do not have rotten roots, but the sagging leaves also indicate that there is a problem with the breeding method. The rich tree is in an unhealthy state, and if some measures are not taken, small problems will evolve into big problems.
