What to do if the leaves of white palm droop

The reason why the leaves of white palm droop and turn yellow

The lush green leaves of the white calla lily are very attractive, but the fatal flaw of this foliage plant is that its leaves turn yellow and droop. There are many reasons why the leaves of Anthurium droop and turn yellow. Generally speaking, they can be divided into four aspects: excessive watering, improper soil and seedling acclimatization, and unsuitable growing environment.

Moisture

Overwatering

The phenomenon of leaves becoming soft and drooping caused by over-watering. Normally, you should not water too much. Over-wet soil is prone to water accumulation, causing root rot and leaf drooping.

Remedies

I believe many flower lovers know the saying "don't water unless the soil is dry". The watering of anthuriums should also follow this principle and water them after the soil is dry. When watering, be careful not to let the water temperature get too low.

soil

Long-term lack of potting

The white calla lily has not been repotted and the soil has not been loosened for a long time, so the soil is hard and impermeable. The water after watering cannot penetrate into the soil layer, resulting in most of the roots being unable to absorb water and nutrients. The loss of water and nutrients will cause the leaves to turn yellow, droop, and become soft.

Remedies

When growing calla lilies at home, you should loosen the soil and change the pots in time. Change the pots in early spring every year and check the soil conditions. If there are too many clumps, it is recommended to break them up and dry them in the sun before replanting. When planting, pour out half of the old soil and replace it with loose soil to facilitate the growth of the root system. During normal maintenance, loosen the soil once every six months to increase the oxygen content in the soil.

Seedling

Improper seedling acclimatization

Most of the white anthuriums in the home are purchased directly from the flower market. You should know that most of the flowers in the flower market are grown in greenhouses. The environment will change when moving into the home. If the plant is not given sufficient adaptation time and is placed directly in the sun for normal maintenance, it will easily wilt.

Remedies

The newly bought white calla lily should be placed in a ventilated and cool place with scattered light and watered appropriately. After one week, return to normal maintenance.

Growth environment

Unsuitable temperature and humidity

Although the growth temperature of Anthurium is between 5-30℃, low temperature still has a certain impact on its growth. Humidity is also an important factor. In the dry and cold conditions of winter, leaves can easily droop.

In winter, the indoor environment is dry and the ventilation is poor, the leaves lose water and cause them to droop. In addition, if the potted plants are placed in a place with low temperature and small space, the leaves will easily turn yellow.

Remedies

After autumn, the temperature drops, so move the plants indoors for maintenance. Pay attention to increasing the air humidity, spray around the plants every day, and wipe the leaves with cotton cloth every 2 to 3 days. Control water appropriately and keep the soil in the pot moist.
