The reason why the leaves of Chunmengdian brocade become wrinkled

Damaged root system: Repotting and transplanting Chunmengdianjin can easily damage the roots, and it takes a long time for the roots to recover. When the root system is damaged, the water absorption effect is affected, so the leaves will become wrinkled.

Root rot: Chunmengdianjin is a shallow-rooted plant. If the roots are soaked in water for a long time, they are prone to rot. After the roots rot, the growth of the plant is affected, the leaves grow poorly and become wrinkled.

Water shortage: The water requirement of the Spring Dream Palace Brocade is not high in winter and summer, but it cannot be left without water for a long time. If you don't water it for more than a month, the leaves will lack moisture and become wrinkled.

What to do if the leaves of Chunmengdian Brocade become wrinkled

Check the roots: Check to see if the leaves are wrinkling because the roots were damaged and have not recovered yet or because of root rot. If the root system is damaged, just wait for it to recover on its own. If the roots are rotten, they should be removed.

The solution to the root problem is to leave the plant uncovered for a few days and then repot it. Wait 3 to 4 days after planting before watering again.

Watering: If the wrinkled leaves are not caused by root problems, pay attention to water supply. When watering, pour water on the soil in the pot and avoid splashing water on the leaves. Water only enough to make the soil slightly damp.
