What to do if the leaves of White Palm droop and become soft

Article Catalog

1. Lack of water

2. Rotten roots

3. Frostbite

4. Exposure to the sun

There are four main reasons why the leaves of White Palm droop and become soft. If it is caused by lack of water, move the potted plant to a cool and ventilated place and water it little by little until it is thoroughly watered. If water damage is the cause of root rot, remove the white palm from its pot, cut off the rotten roots, dry the roots and repot them. If it is caused by frostbite, cut off the frostbitten leaves and increase the curing temperature. If it is caused by exposure to the sun, use a sunshade net to block the light.

1. Lack of water

Cause: If the leaves of the white palm are all soft and drooping, weigh the weight of the pot soil with your hands and it feels very light, it is probably because the white palm is short of water and the soil is excessive. Caused by drought.

Solution: When the white palm is seriously short of water, move it to a cool and ventilated place in time. Do not pour large amounts of water. Water it little by little in multiple times until the soil is thoroughly watered. Until water flows out from the bottom of the basin.

2. Rotten roots

Reason: If the leaves of the white palm droop and become soft, and the soil surface is still wet when you touch it with your hands, it is probably caused by the excessive water in the white palm and the long-term accumulation of water in the soil and root rot.

Solution: After the roots of the white palm are rotten, take the plant out of the pot, remove the soil, cut off all the rotten roots, and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry until the roots are damaged. After air-drying, the fluvoulky soil is repotted.

3. Frostbite

Reason: If the leaves of the white palm are drooping and soft, and if you carefully observe the leaves and there are signs of blackening and dehydration, it is probably caused by frostbite of the white palm and the maintenance environment is too low.

Solution: After the white palm is frostbitten, cut off the severely frostbitten leaves and increase the curing temperature of the white palm in a timely manner. If the curing temperature is low, the water must be appropriately controlled.

4. Exposure

Reason: If the white palm has been kept in a low-light area for a long time and is suddenly exposed to strong light, the leaves of the white palm will droop and become soft. This is caused by environmental discomfort and the maintenance environment exceeds the tolerance limit of the white palm.

Solution: Move the white palm to a cool and ventilated place, wait for the plant to stand upright, and then place it in a bright place with astigmatism for maintenance.
