What to do if the tip of the calamus leaf is dry and cracked
A comprehensive explanation for how to deal with the drying and cracking of the tips of calamus leaves and the content related to quickly solving issues with green plants and flowers through ventilation and watering, which will be introduced by the editor next.
Supplement water: If it is caused by dry soil, water should be replenished in time to ensure sufficient water, but avoid waterlogging.
Increase humidity: Dry air can also cause the leaf tips to dry out, requiring the spraying of water to increase humidity or turning on a humidifier.
Provide shading: Do not let it be exposed to direct strong sunlight and take appropriate shading measures, or move it to a shady place to slow down the growth.
Increase temperature and keep warm: If it is frozen due to low temperature, stop outdoor cultivation, ensure a warm environment, and keep the minimum temperature not below 5℃.
One, supplement water
The phenomenon of dry and crispy leaf tips in calamus is mostly caused by insufficient water. Long-term insufficient watering during maintenance or watering not being thorough can lead to soil compaction, preventing the roots from absorbing water, causing the leaves to dry out due to lack of water. To ensure sufficient water, the pot immersion method can be used to replenish water. Daily watering should be thorough but also avoid waterlogging, as waterlogging can lead to root rot and yellow leaves.
Two, increase humidity
Calamus prefers a humid growing environment and does not tolerate drought. If the air humidity is low, the leaves will also dry out. When potting, you can lay moss to keep the moisture. If the air is relatively dry, you can increase humidity by spraying water or turning on a humidifier. The maintenance location should be kept away from heating equipment such as radiators and air conditioners, which can cause excessive evaporation of water, so this should be avoided.
Three, provide shading
Calamus is a shade-loving plant. Do not place it in strong sunlight during maintenance. It can be provided with scattered light. If the light is too strong, the strong sunlight can burn the plant, causing the leaf tips to turn yellow and dry out, which often occurs in hot summers. Appropriate shading measures should be taken, with the most direct method being to move the plant to a shady place.
Four, increase temperature and keep warm
Calamus prefers to grow in a warm environment and does not tolerate cold well, but the general temperature should not be below 0℃. When the winter temperature drops below 5℃, it will stop growing, and if the temperature is too low, it will suffer from frostbite, showing obvious dryness and yellowing at the leaf tips. At this time, stop outdoor cultivation and move the plant to a warm and well-ventilated place, keeping the minimum temperature not below 5℃.
The above introduction on how to deal with the drying and cracking of the tips of calamus leaves, and how ventilation and watering can quickly solve the issue, is provided for netizens' reference.
