Why are the leaves of the iron tree drooping?

1. Excessive watering

1. Reason: The cycad has poor drought resistance. When caring for it, only water it in moderation, not overwatering. Otherwise it may get waterlogged and the leaves may droop due to this.

2. Treatment method: Put it in a ventilated place, gently dig up the surface soil, and dry all the soil. Then level the soil surface, put it back in place, and slightly reduce watering during subsequent maintenance.

2. Lack of sunlight

1. Reason: It likes relatively strong light and can even accept direct sunlight. If you keep it in the shade for a long time, it may cause its leaves to droop.

2. Treatment method: Move it to an environment with better light and let it receive 6-7 hours of sunlight every day. After a period of maintenance, it will recover.

3. Insufficient fertilization

1. Reason: It does not like fertilizer very much, and it is sufficient to apply fertilizer every 20-30 days during the growing season. However, if no fertilizer is applied for a long time, it may also have problems with leaf drooping due to lack of nutrients.

2. Treatment method: prepare some fertilizer, dilute it with water, and pour it into the flower soil. Then increase the frequency of fertilization appropriately to prevent it from lacking fertilizer again.
