What to do if the leaves of the hanging bamboo plum become soft

Symptoms of limp leaves:

The leaves feel soft and lifeless, and are bent downwards. Normal leaves look energetic and full.

Reasons and solutions for leaves becoming soft:

1. The amount of watering is too little. Increase the amount of watering after the plant becomes soft. The hanging bamboo plant comes from the wetlands of Mexico, so a lot of water is needed when growing it. If the soil is too dry, it will easily cause the leaves of the plant to become soft and yellow, and even the entire plant will wither. Especially during its growing period, it needs watering about every day, and requires a higher degree of moisture in the potting soil. At the same time, it is necessary to spray water on the plant frequently to maintain humidity. However, the hanging bamboo plum also has a dormant period, and during the dormant period, watering should be reduced.

2. There is too little sunlight. If you find that the plant is becoming soft, increase the time it is exposed to sunlight. Hanging bamboo plum likes to be exposed to sunlight, but if it is kept in a dark environment for a long time, it will easily cause the plant to grow too tall and the leaves to soften. It can also be kept in semi-shade. Even in winter, it should be kept in a place where the sun can shine. If it cannot be kept in the sun all day, it is necessary to ensure that it grows in the sun for a period of time every day. But it should be noted that in the hot summer, it is not suitable to be exposed to the scorching sun.

3. In fact, when the air is too dry, the leaves will become soft and yellow, and finally fall off. Therefore, when breeding, it is necessary to keep the water appropriately moist at all times.
