Why are the leaves of white palm becoming smaller?

1. No repotting

Reason: If the anthurium is not repotted, the nutrients in the pot will be consumed, the roots will have difficulty expanding, and nutrients cannot be absorbed from the pot, which will naturally cause the leaves of the anthurium to become smaller and thinner.

Measures: After 1-2 years of cultivation, you can change the flowerpot and soil, and slowly take the plant out of the pot, being careful not to damage the main roots. Prepare new potting soil, add a certain amount of base fertilizer, trim the roots of the plant and plant it in. After a period of time, it will resume normal growth.

2. Improper water and fertilizer

Reason: Anthurium likes a humid environment and needs sufficient water to grow. If it is not watered and is in a state of drought and water shortage for a long time, the leaves will gradually become smaller. The same goes for nutrients. If too little fertilizer is applied, it will lead to insufficient maintenance and the leaves will naturally become smaller.

Measures: Apply water and nutrients in a timely manner according to the growth status to ensure that growth can be supported.

3. The light is too weak

Reason: Although it is shade-tolerant, it lacks light. Staying in a dark place for a long time will affect the absorption of nutrients and cause the leaves to become smaller.

Measures: Place the anthurium in a bright place and expose it to soft scattered light. This will not only ensure the healthy growth of the anthurium, but also make the leaves greener and more lustrous, greatly improving its appearance.
