The pot is plain sailing. What if the leaves turn yellow and wither?

Plain sailing is actually what we often call white palms or white crane taros. From the name "plain sailing", we can know that it actually means smooth, peaceful and auspicious harmony. Because of its beautiful meaning, many potted friends like to raise several pots of this kind of potted green plant at home. But many potted friends find that this kind of potted plant is not as easy to raise as people think. For example, some potted friends will find that the leaves of the potted plants at home will turn yellow in the process of breeding, but in view of this situation, many people are at a loss and do not know how to eliminate this phenomenon.

When the leaves of the potted plants in the home turn yellow, we should first observe calmly and carefully and start from its growth habits in order to prescribe the right medicine and restore the beloved potted plants to their normal state. So, let's first learn about the smooth sailing growth habits.

Smooth sailing likes a warm, humid and semi-overcast growth environment, especially to avoid strong sunlight; in addition, smooth sailing is not cold-resistant, and the best temperature for its growth is between 20 and 28 ℃. In particular, it should be pointed out that the temperature for safe wintering in winter is above 10 ℃.

In view of the yellowing phenomenon of smooth sailing leaves, combined with the growth habits mentioned above, we can try to solve the yellow leaf phenomenon from the following aspects.

1. The dry air is caused by insufficient humidity.

Reason analysis: as smooth sailing this green plant is more sensitive to air humidity, according to the requirements of its growth humidity conditions, when the air around it is dry, it is easy to cause its leaves yellowing and wilting.

Solution: we need to strengthen water spraying on its pages or sprinkling the space around the ground to alleviate it. In addition, you can also take a plastic bag to cover it, but this is not conducive to ventilation. Therefore, we need to make a few more openings around the plastic bag, otherwise it will easily lead to high temperature inside the plastic bag and aggravate the yellowing and wilting of the leaves when the light conditions are good.

2. Root rot caused by excessive watering

Cause analysis: when we overwater the smooth sailing, it will affect the normal respiration of plant roots. Once there is water in the basin, it will cause smooth sailing and difficulty in breathing at the root, causing the root to rot and the leaves to turn yellow and black.

Solution: clean up the stagnant water in the basin and add a small amount of fine soil. If it is in indoor maintenance, when the indoor temperature is more than 20 degrees Celsius, it can only be watered every 3-5 days. When watering, we should pay attention to observe the situation in the basin to avoid stagnant water in the basin.

3. Caused by insufficient soil nutrients in the basin.

Cause analysis: as we all know, plants usually get nutrients from the soil, if the time is too long, the nutrients in the soil will naturally become less and less, if we do not take timely measures to supplement nutrients, then it will cause plants in the basin to lack nutritional supplements, in the long run, plants will cause leaves to yellowing due to lack of nutrition, especially prone to leaf tip yellowing.

Solution: as we said above, the lack of nutrients in the soil can easily lead to smooth yellowing of leaves, so in view of this situation, we should add nourishment to it in time. We can solve the problem by changing the soil. It is recommended that you buy high-nutrient rotten leaf soil, peat soil or multi-element soil to increase nutrients for your plain sailing pot, so as to avoid yellow leaves caused by lack of fertilizer for a long time.

4. Caused by inappropriate lighting

Reason analysis: smooth sailing likes bright places, especially in winter, need to give it a better light environment, and when the sun is too strong, it should also be properly shaded, do not put in the sun to its exposure. Especially in summer, due to the changes in the surrounding environment, if the light is not appropriate, it is easy to cause wilting, yellow leaves and, in serious cases, death.

Solution: proper lighting is essential for home-grown potted plants. (it is recommended to keep plain sailing indoors in a brighter place all the year round and only accept astigmatism.

5. Caused by unsuitable temperature

Reason analysis: in general, for smooth growth temperature is relatively easy to control. This situation is generally not easy to happen, but if the ambient temperature around the pot is more than 5 ℃-35 ℃, it is easy to yellowing leaves.

Solution: when the temperature is too low, especially when the winter temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it should be placed in a warm place indoors, and when there is sunny weather, it should be given sufficient light, which will not only help it to spit green, but also conducive to winter; when the summer temperature is higher than 35 ℃, shading measures should be taken or placed in a cool and transparent place for maintenance.

6. Caused by incorrect fertilization

Reason analysis: any plant in the breeding process if the fertilization is not correct, it will lead to the phenomenon of yellowing leaves, of course, plain sailing pot planting is no exception.

Solution: for plain sailing fertilization must be appropriate, as far as possible thin fertilizer, forbidden to apply thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer, otherwise it is easy to lead to yellow leaves, affecting its growth. And after applying a certain amount of solid fertilizer, it must be watered, preferably clear water. However, the editor still suggests that it is best to use thin fertilizer and water instead of solid fertilizer and water, so that fertilizer damage can be effectively prevented and smooth growth can be made.

7. Caused by pest infestation

Reason analysis: insect pests are the natural enemies of most potted plants. If mite and other pests erode the plants in the basin, the plain sailing leaves will show wilting, loss of luster, withered yellow and other phenomena.

Solution: in view of the phenomenon that mites invade smooth sailing potted plants, we can use special insecticides to kill mites, such as triclofenac, Nisolan, pyridaben and other drugs, which can achieve better results in killing mites.
