The phenomenon of this has undoubtedly caused trouble to epiphyllum lovers. This article will analyze the reasons why epiphyllum leaves dry and withered in winter, and provide corresponding maintenance methods to help you take good care of your epiphyllum flowers. Reasons why the leaves of epiphyllum are withered and withered in winter 1. Insufficient light Epiphyllum needs enough sunshine during its growth. The light time in winter is short. If the epiphyllum is in a dark environment for a long time, its leaves will become withered and withered.
2. The temperature is too low. Epiphyllum is originated in tropical areas. The suitable growth temperature is between 20℃ and 30 ℃. The temperature in winter is low. If the epiphyllum is in a low temperature environment for a long time, its growth will be suppressed and the leaves will become withered and withered.
3. Improper watering. When the temperature is low in winter, the water demand of epiphyllum will be reduced. If you water too much, it will easily lead to root rot, which will affect the growth of the leaves; if you water too little, the leaves will lose water and become dry.
4. Improper fertilization. Epiphyllum needs appropriate fertilization during its growth, but too much or too little fertilization in winter will lead to withered and withered leaves. Method for maintaining the withered and withered leaves of epiphyllum flowers in winter 1. Provide sufficient light and place the epiphyllum flowers in a sunny place. Ensure at least 4-6 hours of direct light every day. If there is insufficient light in winter, artificial light sources can be used to supplement them.
2. Control the temperature and place the epiphyllum in a warm place indoors and keep the room temperature between 20℃ and 30 ℃. If the temperature is too low, you can use heating or air conditioning to adjust the indoor temperature.
3. Appropriate watering reduces the water requirement of epiphyllum in winter. Watering should follow the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet". If the soil is too dry, appropriate watering can be done; if the soil is too humid, drainage should be done in time.
4. Appropriate fertilization will grow slowly in winter, and fertilization should be appropriately reduced. Compound fertilizers or organic fertilizers can be used and applied once a month.
5. Pay attention to ventilation and dry indoor air in winter, and maintain a good ventilation environment to avoid pests and diseases in leaves.
