What to do if the leaves of Chlorophytum are too tender

1. Why are the leaves too tender?

If the leaves are too tender, it usually means that there is a problem with our maintenance and we must make adjustments. Leaves that are too tender have an adverse effect on the plant. They are easy to break, affecting the overall aesthetic effect. Moreover, it is very afraid of strong winds and may break if the wind blows.

2. Specific causes and solutions

(1) Providing scattered light: This is the most likely reason. Chlorophytum likes light very much, and regular light is essential. Considering that it is also afraid of strong light, it is necessary to provide diffuse light at ordinary times. It definitely won't work if it's kept in a dark environment all the time, as its leaves will be very tender and easily broken. Therefore, its location is very important, and it is better to place it on the balcony. If placed indoors, don't place it too far from the windowsill, otherwise the light will be too weak.

(2) There must be sufficient nutrients: If there are insufficient nutrients, the leaves will not be able to grow quickly and will remain tender. Therefore, if this is the reason, it is necessary to supplement it in time. Especially phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, they must be replenished quickly. Generally speaking, during the entire growth period, fertilizer is needed once a week or so, and liquid fertilizer can be used. Then there are the nutrients in the soil, which you should also pay attention to when changing the soil.

(3) Provide suitable temperature: Unsuitable temperature can also be a reason. It's best to be around 20 degrees.
