Article Catalog

There are many reasons why it occurs. The most common reason is that too much water is supplied, which will cause the tree trunk to become soft and wilted. And if the light is insufficient, its branches will become soft and collapsed if it is placed in a dark place for a long time. The most serious thing is that it is not supplemented with fertilizer or nutritious soil for a long time. If the situation is not serious, it can be saved.

1. Failure to replenish nutrients for a long time

Failure to replenish nutrients in time when it is growing rapidly will result in the nutrients the plant needs not keeping up with the pace in time, causing the plant trunk to become soft. So if you need to save it, you can use some decomposed beans or water after retting some bones. The frequency of use can be once every half month.

2. The light exposure is not very sufficient

It is a plant that likes to be bathed in sunlight, so it cannot be placed in a closed environment. It must be placed in a well-lit location for growth. The leaves should face the sun and rotate once every once in a while, otherwise the leaves will grow asymmetrically.

3. Too much water supply

Irrigation with too much water will prevent the roots from absorbing water, causing the roots to rot. If you want it to recover, you need to turn out the roots and prune them, then apply sterilizing medicine, and then plant them after they are dry.

4. The temperature is inappropriate

It originally likes a high-temperature environment, so it is best to maintain it at around 25 degrees throughout the year.

5. Disease Invasion

When this situation occurs, it is better to use carbendazim or catch the pests manually.
