What to do if the old leaves of osmanthus are dry and pointed

1. Excessive watering

Reason: Osmanthus needs a certain amount of water during its growth process, but it cannot tolerate waterlogging. Once it is watered too much, water will accumulate in the pot, affecting the roots, causing the roots to turn black and rot, and the tips of the leaves will also dry up. If left unattended, the entire leaf will turn yellow and fall off, eventually leading to the death of the entire plant.

Solution: Choose soil with good air permeability. If you water too much, stop watering immediately and do a good job of drainage.

2. Increase humidity

Reason: When the temperature is high, the surrounding air is relatively dry, and the old leaves will also appear dry at the tips.

Solution: Increase the overall humidity, build a net to block the sunlight, spray water mist in time, especially in summer, the humidity should be kept above 60%.

3. Adjust the temperature

Reason: Temperature is also a key aspect. If the temperature is too low or too high, it will cause the tips of old leaves to dry out.

Solution: The suitable temperature is 15-28℃, try to adjust the temperature within this range.

4. Improper fertilization

Reason: If the concentration of fertilizer applied is too high, it will be difficult for the roots to absorb it, which can easily cause root burn and dry tips of old leaves.

Solution: Apply fertilizer correctly, and dilute it with water if too much fertilizer is applied.
