Last Updated: 2024/11/23, Its origin is in Brazil, that is, the tropics. Later, it was introduced into our country. After its introduction, it set off a breeding frenzy in the flower circle. We can look at its picture and find its beauty. Some people think that we only watch the flowers, and the leaves are not important. Actually, this is wrong. If its leaves droop, the flowers will become dim. What causes this?

1. Root rot

(1) reason: we can first observe where its root intersects with the flower and soil. If there is a phenomenon of softening and yellowing, it may have rotten roots. If the roots rot, it may wilt and droop the leaves.

(2) solution: if the root is rotten, cut off the rotten place of the root of the plant. Then, sterilize it and then re-transplant it. If it is not rotten, then you can pour less water. When it is observed that the flower soil is dry, water it; if not, do not water it first. At the same time, we need to increase the light.

2. The light is too strong

(1) reason: this plant is a short-day plant. In other words, it likes semi-overcast environment and likes to scatter light. Therefore, if you encounter strong light, or receive the light for too long, it is possible to cause the leaves to become soft and droopy.

(2) solution: receive appropriate light every day. Usually, we can put it on the balcony and other places with scattered light. If it is a bright light at noon, then you must pay attention to shading it. In addition, good ventilation should be maintained. In addition, we can spray some water on its stem, which can also effectively avoid this phenomenon.

3. Dormant period

(1) reason: sometimes, this is a normal phenomenon. For example, after flowering, or in summer, it will go into dormancy. At this time, its growth rate is very slow, so it is very normal for the leaves to wilt and droop.

(2) maintenance: control the amount of water pouring, and the surface soil is dry and rewatered. There is no need to fertilize.
