What to do if the leaves of the peacock plant are curling

What to do if the leaves of the peacock plant curl: The ambient temperature and humidity are not suitable

symptom

When the peacock plant is in a hot and stuffy environment, the plant will grow poorly and its leaves will gradually curl up and no longer stretch freely. If no measures are taken, the leaves and roots will rot over time, and the plant may even wither and die.

Workaround

Strengthen daily water and fertilizer management to ensure sufficient nutrients for plants and enhance disease resistance.

If the plant is placed in a closed environment indoors, spray it every day except on rainy days to increase the humidity, and spray it at least 3 times a day.

If the leaves are severely shrunken, you can cover the entire plant with a plastic bag and poke some small holes at the mouth of the pot to maintain a certain humidity and allow proper ventilation to facilitate recovery.

What to do if the leaves of the peacock plant curl: too little watering and low humidity

symptom

The peacock plant likes a relatively humid environment. If the watering method is incorrect and it is not watered thoroughly for a long time, the soil inside will gradually become hardened. The external manifestation will not be visible, but as time goes by, the leaves will gradually curl up, accompanied by partial death and yellowing of the lower leaves.

Workaround

The peacock plant is native to the tropical rainforests of South America. It requires relatively humid conditions for growth. In addition to keeping the soil in the pot moist, you cannot wait until the soil is dry before watering it. As long as there is no waterlogging and root rot, the surrounding air humidity should also be maintained at a high level. Therefore, the plant should be placed in a semi-shaded place in summer, and the leaves should be sprayed with water 2 to 3 times a day to increase humidity and reduce temperature, thereby promoting the healthy growth of the plant.
