What causes snake plant leaves to go soft? An expert teaches you to cure your plants

Every kind of flower has its own growth characteristics, and not all flowers can be kept alive with the same approach. Although the snake plant is fairly tough, it can still get sick from unreasonable care. Soft leaves on a snake plant are a sign that it is sick. Below, we introduce the proper way to grow snake plants.

One cause of soft snake plant leaves: unreasonable watering. The snake plant has thick, fleshy leaves, and its leaves themselves store a certain amount of water. So do not water it too frequently, otherwise the snake plant will get root rot, and the most direct sign of root rot is soft leaves. If this happens, you can loosen the soil around the snake plant, then place it in a well-ventilated spot and let the roots recover naturally.

The second cause of soft snake plant leaves: unreasonable light. Although the snake plant likes sun, it cannot stand the scorching midday sun. Once sunburned, the snake plant's leaves will go soft. When this happens, be sure to change the snake plant's position in time. Try to place it in half-shade or somewhere not exposed to strong light, and the snake plant can recover after a few days.

The third cause of soft snake plant leaves: unreasonable fertilizing. Although this plant grows fast, it does not demand much fertilizer. Normally, fertilizing once every two months is enough. If the fertilizer concentration is too high or you fertilize too often, it cannot absorb it and the roots will burn. This causes soft leaves. When this happens, you should repot it and change the soil, then water it with clean water so it can recover its vitality as quickly as possible.

I.Grow different flowers at home according to different growing environments
1. Entrance hall
The entrance hall is the entryway of the home, including corridors and passageways. The decoration of the entrance hall should give people a first impression and feeling, whether luxurious and romantic, neat and solemn, or elegant and simple, all of which can be sensed from the decoration of the entrance hall.
The entrance hall space in a home is often relatively narrow, sometimes just a corridor passage. It is the necessary passage to reach the living room, and most of it is relatively dim. For the greenery decoration here, plants with neat forms or columnar climbing types are mostly chosen, such as Brazilian iron, cast-iron plant, golden pothos, etc.; spider plants, ferns and other plants are also often used, hung in a suspended form, which can save space and enliven the atmosphere of the space. In short, the plants chosen for greenery decoration here are preferably those with slender leaf shapes and soft stems, to soften the visual line of the space.
2. Living room
The living room is the main place for daily life, the center of family activities, and also the main place for receiving guests, so it has multiple functions and is the key point of greenery decoration in the entire home. To some extent, the degree of decoration in the living room can show the owner's identity, status and interests. The greenery decoration of the living room should reflect a hospitable and happy atmosphere. Plant arrangement should highlight the key points and avoid clutter, and should strive to be beautiful, generous and dignified, while also paying attention to harmony with the style of the furniture and the color of the walls. If a luxurious and imposing look is desired, plants with larger leaves and taller forms can be chosen, such as Malabar chestnut, Brazilian iron, green giant, etc., or vine plants such as areca palm, weeping fig, golden pothos, jade pothos, etc. as the main scene; if an elegant and antique look is desired, tree-stump bonsai can be chosen as the main scene.
But no matter what is used as the main scene, a small pot of brightly colored, small and exquisite foliage plants must be placed on the tea table, flower stand, window frame or desk near the sofa, such as ornamental bromeliad, peacock plant, flamingo flower, etc.; if necessary, fresh flowers or seasonal flowers can also be placed on the desk. This combination not only highlights the theme of the living room layout, but also keeps the room evergreen all year round and full of vitality.
3. Study
The study is a place for reading, writing, and sometimes also for receiving guests. The greenery decoration of the study should be bright, fresh and elegant, thus creating a quiet, peaceful and graceful environment, so that people feel calm and peaceful upon entering and can concentrate. Therefore, the plant arrangement in the study should not be too eye-catching, but should choose plants with unobtrusive colors and relatively ordinary forms, reflecting a restrained style. Generally, a pot of light and elegant asparagus fern or green plants such as network plant or arrowhead plant can be placed on the writing desk to adjust eyesight and relieve fatigue; hanging plants with spreading, drooping forms can be chosen, such as golden pothos, heartleaf philodendron, ivy, inch plant, etc., hung in the corner or trailing down from the top of a bookcase; a climbing plant can also be placed in a suitable position, such as fiddle-leaf philodendron, golden pothos, elephant's ear philodendron, etc., like a coiled dragon soaring into the air, giving people the passion to strive upward and work hard.
4. Bedroom
The main function of the bedroom is sleep and rest. About 1/3 of a person's life is spent sleeping, so the arrangement and decoration of the bedroom are also very important. The plant arrangement in the bedroom should revolve around the function of rest, and plant decoration should create an atmosphere that can soothe nerves, relieve fatigue and make people relax. At the same time, because there is more furniture in the bedroom and the space seems crowded, it is better to choose small, light green plants. Matching bonsai should also not be brightly colored or oddly shaped. Asparagus fern, monstera, ferns, etc. can be placed on the desk or flower stand. If space permits, neatly shaped plants can also be placed on the floor, such as heartleaf philodendron, Brazilian iron, umbrella tree, etc. In addition, plants can also be chosen according to the age and personality of the occupants.
5. Dining room
The dining room is a place for family members or guests to eat or gather. When decorating, the theme should be sweetness and cleanliness, and indoor foliage plants with bright colors can be appropriately placed. At the same time, fully consider saving space, focusing on three-dimensional decoration. In principle, the selected plants should be small in form. For example, several small and exquisite, verdant indoor foliage plants can be displayed on a multi-tiered flower stand (such as ornamental bromeliad, radiator plant, monstera, lily turf, peacock plant, asparagus fern, clearweed, etc.), or indoor foliage plants with a clear form can be placed in the corner, such as golden pothos, Malabar chestnut, Dutch iron, etc. This can lift people's spirits and increase appetite.

II.Grow different flowers at home according to different home feng shui
1. Lucky bamboo
Lucky bamboo, also called "ten-thousand-year bamboo" and "evergreen", is a widely popular "money tree". Growing lucky bamboo at home symbolizes attracting wealth.
2. Kumquat
Growing kumquat at home carries the meaning of gold and silver treasures and is quite helpful for increasing sources of wealth. But note: do not pull the kumquat off, and clean up dead branches and fallen leaves regularly.
3. Narcissus
Growing narcissus at home can ward off evil and eliminate filth, bring good fortune and auspiciousness, and also attract wealth. Note, however, that before narcissus blooms, it looks like a big scallion, and keeping it fresh is very important.
4. Chrysanthemum
Growing chrysanthemums at home symbolizes prolonging life and increasing blessings, and helps with the feng shui keyword of indoor arrangement for qi field and magnetic field. But note: florist's daisy and cosmos are both suitable for placing at home, but pay attention to sunlight, and also watch out for pests. In addition, the bactericidal substances secreted by flowers such as jasmine, clove, honeysuckle and morning glory grown at home can kill certain bacteria in the air, inhibit the occurrence of diphtheria, tuberculosis, dysentery pathogens and typhoid bacteria, and keep indoor air clean and hygienic.

III.Grow different flowers at home according to different functional roles of the flowers
Generally, the number of flowers and plants placed in the hall should be controlled within 3 pots. In terms of varieties, it is best to choose plants with low light requirements, such as evergreen, Brazilian iron tree and Chinese orchids; in the bedroom, it is best not to place flowers and plants. If you must place them, you can choose some small and exquisite succulent plants such as cactus and cactus ball as decoration.
Aloe, spider plant and snake plant can remove formaldehyde. In a 15-square-meter room, planting two pots of snake plant or spider plant can keep the air fresh and free from the harm of formaldehyde. Snake plant can also release a large amount of oxygen during the day. Spider plant can also release bactericidal substances and kill pathogens. If enough spider plants are placed in a room, 80% of harmful substances will be killed within 24 hours; spider plant can also effectively absorb carbon dioxide.
1. Plants that can kill pathogens
The volatile oils produced by aromatic flowers such as rose, osmanthus, stock, jasmine, lemon, multiflora rose, dianthus, lily of the valley and crape myrtle have significant bactericidal effects.
Plants such as crape myrtle, jasmine and lemon can kill protists such as diphtheria bacteria and dysentery bacteria within 5 minutes. The fragrances released by plants such as multiflora rose, dianthus, lily of the valley, stock, rose and osmanthus have a clear inhibitory effect on the growth and reproduction of tubercle bacillus, pneumococcus and staphylococcus.
Succulent plants native to tropical arid regions, such as cactus, have stomata on their fleshy stems that close during the day and open at night. While absorbing carbon dioxide, they produce oxygen, increasing the concentration of negative ions in indoor air.
Plants such as snake plant, bowstring hemp, agave, as well as opuntia, kalanchoe, sedum, bryophyllum and cultivated bromeliad can also purify the air at night.
Planting climbing plants such as ivy, grape, morning glory, wisteria and multiflora rose around the home and letting them climb along walls or trellises to form a green shade canopy can effectively reduce sunlight radiation and greatly lower indoor temperature. Plants such as clove, jasmine, rose, stock and mint can make people relax and feel mentally pleasant, help with sleep, and also improve work efficiency.
Many people like to grow flowers indoors to improve and beautify the indoor environment, but if the choice is improper, it can instead cause indoor pollution. Therefore, when growing flowers, note: choose good varieties. Indoors, it is most suitable to choose evergreen flowers and trees or varieties that can absorb toxic gases, such as spider plant, asparagus fern, evergreen, cactus, monstera, ivy, etc.
2. Aromatic effects of common flowers
Rose fragrance: relaxes nerves, relieves physical and mental fatigue, helps treat nervous system diseases.
Tulip: can relieve eye fatigue and eliminate irritability.
Orchid fragrance: relieves lung heat and phlegm cough, and is good for people with neurasthenia, but it must not be too strong, otherwise it can also cause dizziness.
White orchid fragrance: can sterilize and purify the air.
3. Plants that can absorb toxic chemical substances
Aloe, spider plant, snake plant, cast-iron plant and monstera are natural scavengers and can remove harmful substances from the air. Studies have shown that snake plant and spider plant can absorb more than 80% of harmful gases indoors, and their ability to absorb formaldehyde is extremely strong. Aloe is also good at absorbing formaldehyde and can absorb 90% of the formaldehyde contained in 1 cubic meter of air. Ivy, cycad, chrysanthemum, kumquat, pomegranate, purslane, Chinese rose, camellia, pomegranate, aglaia, daisy, wintersweet and marigold can effectively remove harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ether, ethylene, carbon monoxide and nitrogen peroxide. Orchid, osmanthus, wintersweet, caladium and red-backed eupatorium are natural dust collectors, and their fine hairs can intercept and retain floating particles and smoke dust in the air.
4. Plants that can resist radiation
If you place one or two pots of cactus beside your computer, it can help the human body absorb as little radiation released by the computer as possible. Because cactus grows in places with very strong sunlight, its ability to absorb radiation is especially strong.
(1) Cactus (cactus ball) can resist radiation
Cactus and succulent plants have a nickname - "lazy person's plants". This type of plant requires little care and attention for cultivation, and hydroponic cactus ball is even easier to maintain. Because cactus (cactus ball) grows in places with very strong sunlight, its ability to resist ultraviolet and other radiation is especially strong. Hydroponic cactus ball is clean and environmentally friendly, with no peculiar smell. If you place one or two pots of hydroponic cactus (cactus ball) beside your computer, it can help the human body absorb as little radiation released by the computer as possible. Because cactus (cactus ball) grows in places with very strong sunlight, its ability to absorb radiation is especially strong.
(2) Cactus ball known as a nighttime "oxygen bar"
Cactus ball mostly breathes at night when it is cooler and more humid. When breathing, it inhales carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. Therefore, placing a huge golden barrel cactus indoors is tantamount to adding an air freshener that can purify indoor air. Thus it is also an ideal flower for indoor placement at night.
(3) A master at adsorbing dust. Do not underestimate the cactus ball; it is also a master at adsorbing dust! Placing a cactus ball indoors, especially a hydroponic cactus ball (because hydroponic cactus ball is cleaner and more environmentally friendly), can play a role in purifying the environment.
5. Recommended flowers to grow at home
(1) Aster, astragalus, nicotiana and cockscomb. These plants can absorb large amounts of radioactive nuclides such as uranium.
(2) Ivy, Chinese rose, multiflora rose, aloe and evergreen can effectively remove indoor trichloroethylene, hydrogen sulfide, benzene, phenol, hydrogen fluoride and ether, etc.
(3) Eucalyptus, asparagus fern, euphorbia and cactus can kill pathogens, and asparagus fern can also remove heavy metal particles.
(4) Ivy, fig, ceriman and common aloe can not only deal with bacteria and other harmful substances brought in from outdoors, but can even absorb dust that is difficult for even a vacuum cleaner to pick up.
(5) Monstera, snake plant and cast-iron plant can absorb more than 80% of harmful gases indoors.
(6) Citrus, rosemary and spider plant can greatly reduce bacteria and microorganisms in indoor air.
(7) Chinese rose can absorb relatively large amounts of harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide, benzene, phenol, hydrogen chloride and ether.
(8) Wisteria has strong resistance to sulfur dioxide, chlorine and hydrogen fluoride, and also has a certain resistance to chromium

IV.Different plants are placed in different rooms at home
1. Bedroom
Medium and small pots or hanging pot plants should be mainly used. It is suitable to place a pot of light-colored fragrant plants such as jasmine, osmanthus, Chinese rose or banana shrub, or place plants with small leaves such as asparagus fern or zebra plant. Flowers that are too strongly colored make it difficult for people to fall asleep and are not suitable for placement. Bedroom flowers are generally smaller in form, and the growing medium of the plants should preferably use sphagnum moss instead of soil to keep the room clean. The containers for placing plants should not have odd shapes, so as to maintain a peaceful and calm atmosphere in the bedroom.
2. Study
The main emphasis should be on quietness, and the greenery and beautification arrangement should be conducive to study, research and creation. A large study can be equipped with a curio cabinet, with books, small ornaments and potted clivia and landscape bonsai placed on it, creating an artistic and elegant reading environment.
3. Living room
First of all, focus on decorative beauty. The quantity should not be too large, and attention should be paid to matching medium and small plants. In a large living room, large and medium-sized foliage plants such as broadleaf lady palm, sago palm, rubber tree or fern can be placed beside the sofa or in idle space; in a small living room, small plants or vine plants can be chosen, such as ivy, spiderwort, etc. In addition, they should be placed against the wall corners so as not to hinder people's movement. The living room generally focuses on bonsai. Some small, brightly colored potted flowers, plum blossoms or plant bonsai can be placed on the tea table. In the room, the contrast of sizes and flowers and leaves sets off the lively vitality of the living room.
4. Dining room
Greenery decorations that make people feel happy and can increase appetite should be chosen. For example, begonia and poinsettia, to add a cheerful atmosphere. Placing medium-sized potted plants on the serving table has a spacing effect. Bright green potted plants can all be placed around the dining room. In the center of the dining room, spring orchid, autumn chrysanthemum, summer perilla and winter poinsettia can be placed according to the season. A pot of spider plant can be hung above the dining table, looking "unrestrained" and romantic, making people's appetite surge.
5. Kitchen
Usually located in a north-facing room with fewer windows, some potted decorations can eliminate the feeling of cold. Small potted plants should be mainly used, and hanging potted plants can be chosen, among which hanging spiderwort is better, followed by spider plant. Small flowers such as fringed iris and snake plant can be placed at the windowsill. Vegetables not eaten for the time being can also be placed in a uniquely shaped flower basket as a hanging decoration.
6. Bathroom
Most bathrooms in our country are not large and have poor lighting conditions. Plants with less strict light requirements should be chosen, such as pitcher plant, clearweed and small ferns.
7. Balcony
With sufficient sunlight, it is suitable for brightly colored flowers and evergreen plants. Several pots of spider plant can also be hung, and some flowering plants can be placed on the railing (such as camellia, kumquat, etc.), with foliage potted plants against the wall, setting each other off. Two pots of flowers (such as Chinese rose, autumn crocus, etc.) can also be placed on the balcony window, which both increases the overall beauty and fills it with a green atmosphere.

V.Common flowers and plants grown at home
1. Aloe
Growing aloe in pots at home can not only beautify the room, but also allow you to pick the freshest aloe leaves at any time for home health care. Some people say that growing a few pots of aloe at home is like hiring a resident "private doctor". Although this saying is somewhat exaggerated, it is not entirely unreasonable. Whether aloe is used as medicine to treat illness or for beauty and skin care, only fresh aloe can achieve the best effect. Aloe has extremely high ornamental value.
Although the flowering period of aloe is short, the flower colors are also very brilliant and much loved. Small potted aloe can be placed on a desk, and large plants can be potted and placed in the courtyard, paired with other succulent plants to form a unique natural landscape, full of interest. In winter, they can be moved into the hall for indoor display. Aloe not only performs photosynthesis during the day and releases oxygen, but can also absorb indoor carbon dioxide at night and purify indoor air.
Aloe can effectively remove formaldehyde from the air. Planting a few aloe plants is like installing several "biological air fresheners" in the home, purifying the living environment at all times. When harmful gases in the air, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and formaldehyde, remain at a relatively high level for a long time and aloe can no longer completely remove and absorb them, spots will appear on the leaves, alerting you to quickly take corresponding measures to avoid the harm of harmful gases to human health.
2. Spider plant
Native to South Africa, family Liliaceae. It has strong adaptability, is relatively drought-tolerant and cold-tolerant, likes warmth and humidity, and is suitable for growing in loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Spider plant is one of the most traditional hanging indoor plants. Its leaves are slender and soft, and the stolons growing from the leaf axils have small plantlets, hanging down from the edge of the pot, spreading and drooping like flowers, evergreen all year round; it is both firm and soft, shaped like a crane spreading its wings to leap, hence the ancient name "crane-folding orchid".
It also has the alternative names hanging pot grass, cinnamon orchid and hook orchid, and in Western Europe it is also called spider grass or airplane grass. Spider plant is not only an excellent hanging foliage plant for indoor use, but also a good indoor air-purifying flower. Spider plant has an extremely strong ability to absorb toxic gases and can purify toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and formaldehyde. Generally, keeping 1-2 pots of spider plant in a room can absorb almost all toxic gases in the air, so spider plant also has the reputation of "green purifier".
Growing flowers and plants indoors can "create" a good microclimate. In modern buildings made with reinforced concrete prefabricated panels, the air humidity is much lower than normal standards, almost the same as in a desert. But a plant called cyperus can turn a "desert" into an "oasis". Cyperus likes water, so potted cyperus should be placed in a deep water trough. Many flowers and plants suitable for indoor planting have bactericidal functions.
If some potted citrus, rosemary, myrtle and spider plant are placed in a room, bacteria and microorganisms in the air will be greatly reduced. People feel stuffy in a poorly ventilated room not because there is insufficient oxygen indoors, but because negative oxygen ions are extremely scarce. When a TV or computer is turned on indoors, negative oxygen ions rapidly decrease. There are many flowers and plants that can be grown indoors that can produce negative oxygen ions - these flowers and plants are cypress, oriental arborvitae and Japanese cedar.
If the indoor area is too small, you might as well change the types and grow some low-growing plants, such as cactus. At present, it is popular in the West to grow spruce and other low-growing conifers on balconies, which can fill the room with a refreshing tree fragrance.
Placing some pollution-resistant flowers and plants in the living room can also play the role of an air purifier. For example: ivy can "eat" benzene, spider plant can "swallow" indoor carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, and the spathe of jack-in-the-pulpit can absorb benzene and trichloroethylene. If there is one pollution-resistant plant in a 10-square-meter room, it will greatly help air purification.

VI.Flowers not suitable for growing at home
Flowers not suitable for keeping: clove and night-blooming jasmine can release particles that stimulate the sense of smell at night, having adverse effects on patients with high blood pressure and heart disease; the floral scent of oleander can make people drowsy and reduce mental acuity; the particles released by hydrangea can cause skin allergies and itching; tulip flowers contain toxic alkaloids, and excessive contact can easily cause hair loss; the oily fragrance released by conifer and cypress flowers and trees can affect people's appetite. Do not keep "mutually incompatible" flowers: if rose and mignonette are placed together, the mignonette will wither, but before withering the mignonette will release a substance that poisons the rose to death. Herbaceous flowers such as corn poppy, orchid, dianthus, stock and lily find it difficult to get along with other flowers, causing the plants to die.
Do not keep flowers in the rooms of sick people. The fungal spores produced by the soil in flower pots will spread into the indoor air, causing surface or deep infections in the human body, and may also invade parts such as human skin, respiratory tract, external auditory canal, meninges and brain. For patients who are already ill and in poor health, this is like adding frost to snow, and is especially more harmful to leukemia patients and organ transplant recipients. Professor Li Zuowen, head of the expert group of the Liaoning Provincial Landscape Architecture Society, responded to these doubts. He believes that worry about "drip guanyin" is unnecessary; it is not among the 52 cancer-promoting plants. Although it is toxic, it can be kept with peace of mind. In fact, many flowers in residents' homes are toxic. Monstera is a natural scavenger and can remove harmful substances from the air, but it is also a toxic flower.
Pothos is evergreen all year round and can absorb toxic gases, but the sap of pothos is toxic. Contact with the skin will cause redness and itching, and accidental ingestion will also cause throat pain; evergreen belongs to the Liliaceae family, and its toxic part is the rhizome. Eating a large amount of the rhizome will cause symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, cold limbs and even coma. As for zebra evergreen, the sap of the leaves can make a person mute. Professor Guo Xichang of the Forestry Department of Shenyang Agricultural University believes that plants in the Euphorbiaceae and Thymelaeaceae families are also toxic, such as the crown of thorns, one of the 52 cancer-promoting plants, which should better not be grown at home. But for toxic flowers that can purify indoor air, such as drip guanyin and pothos, there is absolutely no need to smash them.

VII.Precautions for Keeping Flowers at Home
Experts believe the proper attitude toward toxic plants is: keep an appropriate distance, do not play with or stroke them casually; do not hold their branches, leaves or fruit in your mouth. Experts have also summarized 10 kinds of flowers that should be avoided in the bedroom as much as possible: for example, the fragrance of orchids can cause insomnia; mimosa may cause hair loss; the pollen of redbud can trigger asthma and worsen coughing; night-blooming jasmine can cause dizziness; the fragrance of lilies can cause insomnia; the fragrance of Chinese roses makes people feel depressed; the milky white sap secreted by oleander can poison people; the aroma of pines and cypresses reduces appetite; hydrangea easily causes allergies; tulip flowers can cause hair loss. As for which flowers are good to keep indoors in winter, the two professors also offered some suggestions: keeping flowers indoors is not a case of the more the better. For a dwelling of about 15 sq m, it is only suitable to place 2 medium or large plants, while 3 or 4 small plants can be placed.
