Countermeasures for the reasons why cat-eye arrowroot leaves dry With the approaching of winter, many flower lovers have found that the originally vibrant cat-eye arrowroot leaves in their homes have begun to dry up, which not only affects the beauty of the plant, but also confuses the conservators. This article will help you analyze the reasons why cat-eye arrowroot leaves dry up, and provide corresponding maintenance strategies to help you keep cat-eye arrowroot green in cold winter. Reasons why the leaves of caty-eye arrowroot are dry 1. Insufficient moisture caty-eye arrowroot is native to tropical rainforests. The demand for water is high. The winter temperature drops and the air humidity also drops. If watering is not timely, it will easily lead to the leaves drying out.
2. Insufficient light and weak sunshine in winter. If you place cat-eye arrowroot in a too dark place, it will lead to insufficient photosynthesis, which in turn may cause the leaves to dry out.
3. The temperature is too low. The suitable growth temperature for cat-eye arrowroot is 20-30℃. If the temperature is too low in winter, it may easily lead to freezing damage to plants and drying out leaves.
4. Improper fertilization Excessive fertilization or improper fertilization will damage the plant's roots, affect water absorption, and cause leaves to dry out. Coping strategies 1. Moderate watering has low temperatures in winter and slow evaporation of water. The frequency of watering should be reduced appropriately. Generally, it is enough to keep the soil slightly moist to avoid accumulation of water. The watering time should be chosen in the morning or evening to avoid watering at high temperatures at noon.
2. Increase the lighting and place the cat-eye arrowroot in a place with sufficient scattered light, such as near the window. The sunshine is weak in winter. Artificial lighting can be appropriately increased, such as using a desk lamp.
3. Control the temperature to keep the indoor temperature between 20-30℃ to avoid freezing of plants due to too low temperatures. In case of extreme cold weather, you can use heating or electric blankets and other equipment to keep warm.
4. Reasonable fertilization. Reduce fertilization in winter and avoid excessive fertilization. You can choose some compound fertilizers with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium, and apply them once a month.
5. Pay attention to ventilation to maintain indoor air circulation to avoid excessive humidity, which may cause leaves to rot.
The key to maintaining cat-eye arrowroot in winter is to balance moisture, light, temperature and fertilization. Through the above measures, I believe that your cat-eye arrowroot will be full of vitality in the cold winter.
