What to do if the leaves of the water tower flower curl up

1. Watering in time

Reason: The water tower flower has a high demand for water. If it is not watered enough, it will grow poorly and cause the leaves to curl.

Solution: Water the water tower flower in time. During its growth period, increase the amount of water appropriately. In addition, you should also fill the leaf tube with water and change the water every half a month. And spray water on the leaves frequently to keep the environment moist.

2. Proper shade

Reason: The water tower flower requires relatively strong light, and exposure to the sun in summer will cause the leaves to lose water and curl up.

Solution: Water tower flowers are suitable for receiving diffuse light. Generally, it should be placed in a semi-shaded place, but in winter it should be moved to a sunny place to receive sunlight throughout the day. In summer, provide shade under the sun to avoid strong sunlight that may burn the leaves.

Then take it out to dry, and replant it with dry new soil. It is not advisable to water it immediately after replanting, and it should be placed in a cool place for maintenance.

4. Increase the temperature

Reason: Water tower flower is a tropical plant and is afraid of cold weather. Low temperatures can cause its leaves to curl.

Solution: Water tower flower grows best in an environment of 20-28℃, and will be frostbitten if the temperature is below 10℃. In winter, place it in a warm place indoors, or cover it with a plastic bag to keep it warm.
