What to do if the leaves of Golden Tiger Pilan are rotten

1. Frostbite caused

Among the many reasons that may cause its leaves to rot, this should be the most likely one. Because Sansevieria likes warmth very much, if you don’t pay attention to keeping it warm in winter and the indoor temperature is too low, its roots will be frozen and its leaves will rot.

Solution: At this time, we need to use scissors to cut off the rotten roots and disinfect them with medicine. Then pay attention to keeping warm. It is best to control the temperature between 16 and 24 degrees, and never lower than 5 degrees.

2. Caused by excessive watering

When it is growing, some flower lovers may water it frequently. In addition, its roots have limited absorption capacity, so over a long period of time, the roots will be unable to breathe. At this time, the roots will begin to rot, and the leaves will rot as well.

Solution: At this time, we should not only cut off rotten leaves and roots, but also control watering. Generally, in winter and spring, we should keep the soil drier. During the growing season, we can wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. When watering, do not let the water get on the leaves, otherwise the leaves will rot.

3. Caused by airtight flower soil

When we initially chose the flower soil, we may not have used loose and breathable flower soil, which could easily cause compaction during cultivation, and the roots and leaves would easily rot.

Solution: At this time we need to replace the soil, usually with culture soil and peat soil. As long as it is not yellow mud, it is basically fine. After that, if we do a good job of clearing the drainage, the leaves will not rot again.

4. Caused by excessive fertilizer supplementation

When adding fertilizer, if you use concentrated fertilizer or use too much, it will cause an excess of nutrients. At this time, the excess nutrients will burn the roots, causing the roots to rot, and the leaves will naturally rot as well.

Solution: So at this time we'd better cut off the rotten roots, add water to dilute the excess fertilizer, and then apply thin fertilizer frequently in the future.
