"Hong Yun Dang Tou", also known as pineapple flower, is a common flower in our daily life. When it blooms, the flower bud is bright red, making it a favorite among many flower enthusiasts. Many flower lovers encounter yellowing and drying of the leaves and flower buds when caring for "Hong Yun Dang Tou". What causes this, and what methods can be used to handle it? What should be paid attention to during care?
What causes the yellowing and drying of the leaves and flower buds of "Hong Yun Dang Tou"?
Improper temperature: "Hong Yun Dang Tou" thrives in a warm and humid environment, with a suitable growth temperature between 18-28 degrees Celsius. If the plant grows in a low-temperature environment for an extended period, it will experience slow growth; temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius are also very unfavorable for the plant.
Solution: If the yellowing is caused by low temperatures, you can spray the plant with anti-freeze and anti-cold agents or moderately increase the temperature. If the issue is caused by high temperatures, it is necessary to ventilate and cool down promptly, which will gradually improve the high-temperature environment.
Improper watering: Although "Hong Yun Dang Tou" prefers a humid environment, it only needs to maintain slightly moist soil during regular care. Excessive watering can lead to long-term soil dampness, causing缺氧 in the soil and root rot, which can cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insufficient watering will cause the plant to lack water, leading to drying and yellowing.
Solution: Watering should be moderate and appropriate. You can spray the leaves with water once a day, which not only removes dust from the leaves but also keeps the leaf color fresh and bright, while also enhancing photosynthesis and promoting plant growth.
Improper fertilization: "Hong Yun Dang Tou" requires different nutrients in different seasons. If the plant lacks nutrients in winter, the flower bud may wither or fail to bloom because the flowering season of "Hong Yun Dang Tou" is in winter. However, if excessive fertilization occurs in this season or others, the plant may have thick new leaves with uneven surfaces, while the old leaves will become dry,尖焦黄 and fall off.
Solution: If there is a lack of fertilizer, it is necessary to repot and replace it with new loose and fertile soil, then apply well-rotted thin fertilizer or compound flower fertilizer. If there is too much fertilizer, fertilization should be stopped immediately, watering should be increased to allow the fertilizer to be drained from the bottom of the pot, or repotting should be done immediately and planting should be redone.
