Reason analysis and solution maintenance points Ferns are deeply loved by people because of their unique shape and beautiful posture. Many fern lovers will encounter the problem of dry fern leaves during the maintenance process, which makes people very headache. What should I do if the fern leaves are dry? Below, we will give you detailed answers. Reason analysis 1. Improper watering: Watering is the key to maintaining ferns. Too much or too little will cause the leaves to dry out.
2. Insufficient light: Ferns like to scatter light, and insufficient light can cause the leaves to turn yellow and dry.
3. Soil problems: The soil is too hardened or has poor air permeability, which will affect the absorption of water and nutrients, causing the leaves to dry out.
4. Pest and insect pests: such as red spiders, scale insects, etc., will absorb nutrients from plants and cause leaves to dry out. Solution 1. Appropriate watering: According to the growth habits of ferns, keep the soil slightly moist. When high temperatures in summer, the number of watering can be increased appropriately; when low temperatures in winter, reduce watering to avoid accumulation of water causing root rot.
2. Appropriate lighting: Place the ferns in places with sufficient scattered light to avoid direct sunlight. If there is insufficient indoor lighting, use a desk lamp to supplement the light.
3. Improve the soil: Select soil with good air permeability and strong drainage, such as legular soil, peat soil, etc., and loosen the soil regularly to keep the soil loose.
4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases: Regularly inspect plants and treat pests and diseases in a timely manner. Insecticides, fungicides, etc. can be used, but care should be taken not to use pesticides with too high concentrations to avoid damaging plants. Maintenance points 1. Maintain air humidity: Ferns like a humid environment, so you can use a humidifier or spray water to increase air humidity.
2. Timely fertilization: During the vigorous growth period, apply compound fertilizers once a month to meet plant growth needs.
3. Observe growth: Regularly observe the growth of plants and solve problems in a timely manner.
