What to do if the leaves of Brazilian ironwood droop

1. Block out strong light

The leaves of the Brazilian iron plant droop because the light is too strong, causing the plant to be burned and lack of water in the body, causing the leaves to dry up and droop. Appropriate exposure to sunlight and timely blocking of strong light can alleviate the problem of leaf drooping.

2. Add water appropriately

If you only water half of the plant for a long time, the roots will be deprived of water for a long time, which will cause the leaves to dry out and lack water, resulting in drooping. You can add water appropriately to ensure that it can absorb moisture, and the Brazilian iron will recover after a period of time. In addition to adding water to the roots, growing in dry seasons may cause the leaves to droop. You can spray water on the leaves appropriately to increase the humidity in the air, which can help the plant recover.

3. Reduce watering

A certain amount of water is needed for growth, but if you water too much, the soil will lack oxygen, making it difficult for the roots to breathe normally, thus hindering the absorption function. It is necessary to stop watering, loosen the soil immediately to promote water flow out, and place it in a well-ventilated place to promote water evaporation.

4. Adjust fertilizer

Applying too much or too little fertilizer will cause growth problems and the leaves will droop. Appropriate adjustments need to be made based on specific circumstances.
