Why are the leaves of dragon bone drying up?

1. Excessive water shortage

Reason: When growing dragon bones, if you don’t water it for a long time, its roots cannot absorb water and cannot supply water to the leaves, and its leaves will dry up over time.

Solution: Give it some water appropriately, try to keep the soil slightly moist, and water it about once a week. When you first start watering, don't water too much, just increase the amount gradually.

2. Too much fertilizer

Reason: The amount of fertilizer applied each time should not be too much. The roots cannot absorb the heat generated by the fertilizer and are prone to rot. After the roots rot, the leaves will dry up and even turn yellow.

Solution: If the situation is serious, the plant needs to be dug out, the rotten roots cut off, and then properly disinfected before planting again. If the situation is minor, add more water to wash away the fertilizer.

3. Sunburn

Reason: This situation often occurs in the summer. If you do not pay attention to shade at noon, the strong light will burn the plants. Excessive evaporation of water in the leaves can also cause the leaves to dry out.

Solution: Place the plant with yellow leaves in semi-shade as soon as possible. Do not move it directly to a shady location as it will be difficult for the plant to adapt. It is best to place it in scattered light or semi-shade.
