What to do if the leaves of Tillandsia are dry

1. Causes and measures:

1. Lighting:

The cause of drying up must be found before symptomatic treatment can be given. The drying up of leaves is most likely caused by the intensity of sunlight. In many cases, it is unwise to place the Tillandsia under direct exposure to strong light, because the Tillandsia is very afraid of the sun, but likes relatively dark places with low temperatures. Therefore, if the leaves dry up, they should be moved to the cultivation location immediately. It is best to place them in a semi-shaded place.

2. Temperature:

Some people are most likely to be careless when raising Tillandsia, and even place it in a low temperature environment. They do not even master the most basic breeding knowledge, which will cause the Tillandsia to be frostbitten in the low temperature and cause the leaves to dry up. Therefore, the indoor temperature should be adjusted in time and kept above 16°C.

3. Watering:

The drying of leaves is actually directly related to watering, especially in the hot summer, you need to spray water on the iron orchid. Even in winter, you must ensure that the flowers, leaves and soil in the pot are moist. If you can't keep it dry, withering is inevitable. Therefore, we should always observe the situation in the pot and replenish water in time.

2. Notes:

When growing Tillandsia, try not to fertilize them too much just to save time and effort. Apply a fixed amount of fertilizer each time, otherwise not only will the leaves of the Tillandsia become wilted and yellow, but there is a great possibility that they will even be burned. Therefore, you should pay more attention to fertilization issues. Some pests can also cause the leaves to dry up, so insecticide measures are also of utmost importance. If you want to grow Tillandsia well, you will be safe if you follow the correct breeding model.
