What's wrong with the withered leaves of the Fortune Tree?
Fortune tree is a common household green plant, and its leaf dryness problem puzzles many plant lovers. This paper systematically analyzes the six major maintenance points and combines professional gardening experience to provide you with a complete analysis of the underlying causes of leaf dryness and provides operable solutions. 1. Analysis of symptoms of leaf lesions caused by nutritional imbalance and long-term defertilization. Fortune trees that have not been fertilized for half a year will experience obvious nutritional deficiencies: new leaves become smaller and thinner, and leaf tips become browned and spread to leaf margins. After the soil is depleted of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, the plant initiates a self-protection mechanism and preferentially delivers nutrients to the trunk. The scientific fertilization plan recommends adopting the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application": apply special fertilizer for leaf-viewing plants (N-P-K=20-20 -20) diluted 1000 times every 10 days in spring and summer, and adjust it to once a month in autumn and winter. Adding slow-release fertilizer granules when changing pots can maintain basic nutrient supply for 3 months. 2. Key elements of environmental control, light intensity management When the environmental temperature exceeds 32 ° C and direct light continues to be received for more than 4 hours, the cuticle of the leaves will become scorched due to dehydration. The north-facing window sill is an ideal location, and light needs to be scattered for 3-5 hours a day. Air circulation optimizes the maintenance of confined spaces and can easily cause fungal leaf blight. It is recommended to open windows for ventilation twice a day for more than 30 minutes each time. Use a circulating fan to keep the air flowing, but avoid blowing directly on the plants. 3. Advanced maintenance skills Root health monitoring checks the soil hardening status every quarter. When the surface soil is found to be hardened, use bamboo sticks to loosen the soil to a depth of 5cm. In the early stage of root rot, it can be judged by observing the growth rate of new leaves. Under normal circumstances, 2-3 new leaves should be harvested every month. Humidity adjustment solutions maintain 50-70% air humidity most conducive to leaf health. A water pan can be set at the bottom of the flowerpot and pebbles can be built in for evaporation and humidification. During winter heating, it is recommended to spray once a day in the morning and evening.
Through systematic adjustment of maintenance plans and regular observation and records, more than 90% of leaf dryness problems can be improved within 2 months. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record each watering, fertilization and plant change, and gradually form a personalized maintenance plan.
