What to do when the leaves of the water lily dry up
The water lily is a flower species with a very long lifespan. Its stem is very thick and sturdy in the soil. Its blooming period is from June to September. Its petals are colorful, including white and pink, etc. Its fruit is also very tasty, and its leaves are several times larger than ordinary leaves. So then what should be done when the leaves of this species, which comes from Brazil, dry up? Below, Shuai Shuai will tell everyone what to do when the leaves of the water lily dry up!
1. Causes
1. Insufficient light
During its normal growth process, it cannot do without light. If you place it in a place without light, the leaves will dry up after being deprived of light for a long time.
2. Poor ventilation
If you keep it at home or in a bedroom, that is definitely wrong. You should place it in a light-transmitting courtyard or on a rooftop; that kind of environment is suitable. Only a ventilated environment can promptly replenish the O2 needed in the water for the water lily.
3. Temperature too low
It likes a warm growing environment. If the weather is cold in winter, it will cause the plant's physiological activities to slow down, and the speed of nutrient absorption will also weaken. Its leaves will dry out, and it may even choose to shed its leaves to preserve its own nutrients.
4. Too much fertilizer
If you fertilize excessively in large amounts to promote its growth, it will cause side effects. This makes its leaves dry out.
5. Too few water changes. If the water is not changed for a long time, then O2 will be insufficiently supplied. Once there is a lack of oxygen, it will give anaerobic bacteria room to survive, which will cause root rot, and the leaves will also dry up and wither.
Only after figuring out the specific cause can you prescribe the right remedy. If it is a lack of nutrients, then fertilize; if it is lack of water, then water it. Do not randomly take improper measures.
2. Daily care
1. It likes places with high temperature and high humidity, but its cold resistance is not very good. Generally, between 15 and 45 degrees, it can grow normally and healthily. If the temperature is below 10 degrees, it will freeze to death.
2. It likes clean, transparent water. If it is living water, it should flow frequently, which is best for its growth.
The above are the causes of the water lily's leaves drying up and the solutions. This flower can bear fruit in just 60 to 80 days. If your home is in the Guangxi and Guangdong area, then the water lily can grow all year round and can safely overwinter, so flower-loving friends living in the Guangxi and Guangdong area should hurry and grow a few pots!
