Chlorophytum comosum, as a common indoor ornamental leaf plant, is loved by many families and offices for its easy maintenance and strong air purification ability. During the maintenance process, we often encounter the problem of the plant's leaves becoming soft and drooping, which undoubtedly troubles many gardening enthusiasts. This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the reasons and solutions for the soft and drooping leaves of transplanted Chlorophytum comosum, helping you easily solve this problem.
Reasons for the soft and drooping leaves of transplanted Chlorophytum comosum1. Insufficient water: Chlorophytum comosum requires a higher amount of water. If watering is not timely, it can lead to soft and drooping leaves, especially after transplanting when the roots have not yet adapted to the new environment, making it more prone to insufficient water.
2. Excessive watering: Too much watering can cause waterlogging in the roots, affecting root respiration and leading to soft and drooping leaves. This is especially likely to happen after transplanting when the roots are damaged.
3. Insufficient lighting: Chlorophytum comosum prefers a semi-shaded environment. If it is kept in a dark environment for an extended period, it can cause the leaves to become soft and droop, particularly after transplanting when the roots are damaged and have a higher demand for light.
4. Soil issues: Soil that is too compact or lacks fertility can also cause the leaves of Chlorophytum comosum to become soft and droop. After transplanting, the change in soil environment makes it more prone to this issue.
5. Diseases and pests: Chlorophytum comosum is susceptible to attacks from diseases and pests such as aphids and red spiders, which can lead to soft and drooping leaves.
