"Hongyun Dangtou" is also known as pineapple flowers, a common flower in our daily life. When blooming, the flower buds are bright red and are favored by many flower enthusiasts. Many enthusiasts encounter the phenomenon of yellowing and drying of the leaves and flower buds of "Hongyun Dangtou" during cultivation. What causes this, and what methods can be used to handle it? What should be paid attention to during cultivation?
Reasons for yellowing and drying of leaves and flower buds of "Hongyun Dangtou"
Improper temperature: "Hongyun Dangtou" prefers a warm and humid environment, with a suitable growth temperature between 18-28 degrees Celsius. If the plant grows in an environment with low temperature for a long time, it will experience slow growth; temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius are also very unfavorable for plant growth.
Solution: If the yellowing is due to low temperatures, you can spray the plant with anti-freeze and anti-cold agents, or appropriately increase the temperature. If the problem 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 "Hongyun Dangtou" likes a humid environment, it only needs to keep the potting soil slightly moist during regular maintenance. Excessive watering can cause the potting soil to remain moist for a long time, leading to oxygen deficiency in the soil, root rot, and resulting in yellowing and shedding of leaves. 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: "Hongyun Dangtou" requires different nutrients in different seasons. If the plant lacks nutrients in winter, the flower buds may become dry or fail to bloom, as the blooming season of "Hongyun Dangtou" is in winter. However, if excessive fertilization occurs in this season or others, the plant may develop thick new leaves with uneven surfaces, while the old leaves may become dry,尖 and yellow, eventually falling off.
Solution: If there is a lack of fertilizer, it is necessary to repot with new, loose, and fertile soil and then apply well-rotted thin fertilizer or compound flower fertilizer. If there is too much fertilizer, fertilization should be stopped immediately, and the watering amount 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.
