Causes of softening of Yushu leaves and its control methods

Yushu from the name to a tall tree, but in fact it is an excellent potted plant, but also a multi-person plant, its ornamental value is high, so many people like to breed it. But in the process of breeding, we will encounter the situation that Yushu leaves are soft, so what is the reason why Yushu leaves are soft? How to prevent and cure it? Let's get to know it.

1. Lack of water

Water shortage is one of the reasons for the softening of Yushu leaves. Yushu has a large water content, so it needs more water, and the demand for water varies from season to season. Especially in the high temperature summer, the temperature is high, the evaporation is large, if the water supply is insufficient, it can easily lead to the lack of water in the leaves, cause the leaves to become soft, and in serious cases, it may also lead to the drying up and death of the leaves.

Prevention and control methods: if the leaves are soft due to lack of water, it is necessary to increase the amount of water, but we should also pay attention to watering not too much, not stagnant water, so as not to cause the root system to rot because of stagnant water. It can also be replenished by spraying water to appropriately increase the air humidity and promote the blade to return to normal.

2. Lack of light

Yushu is afraid of strong light exposure, exposure may lead to plant death, but its growth can not be separated from the sun, lack of light, its photosynthesis will be inhibited, will lead to leaf nutrition deficiency, leaves will appear soft phenomenon.

Prevention and treatment methods: when the light intensity is high in summer, it is not suitable to be placed on the balcony, to be directly exposed to strong light, to move to a cool place for shade, and when in winter and spring, the light intensity is weak and the length of light is short, so it should be placed on the balcony to receive sufficient light.

3. Poor ventilation

Yushu likes to grow in a well-ventilated environment. If it grows in a poorly ventilated environment, the leaves cannot breathe fresh air and synthesize nutrients for a long time, which will lead to its leaves withering, softening, and even withering and falling off.

Prevention and control methods: usually pay attention to ventilation and maintenance, so that the leaves can breathe fresh air, there will be no shortage of water and nutrients, and the leaves will not be soft.

4. Rotten root

In contrast to lack of water, if too much watering leads to stagnant water in the soil, the roots of Yushu will rot and lose the ability to absorb water and nutrients, resulting in soft leaves.

Prevention and cure method: if the leaves are soft caused by rotten roots, stop watering immediately, and cut off the rotten roots in time when you find rotten roots, or change pots and transplant for maintenance, so that its roots will gradually recover. so its leaves won't get soft again.

The above is the reasons for the softening of Yushu leaves and the introduction of prevention and control methods, hope to help you, want to know more related knowledge, please follow us.
