What to do if the leaves of the peace lily wilt

1. Insufficient light

If the plant does not see light for a long time, many energy conversions cannot be completed, which will cause the plant to lose its green color. Over time, the leaves of the plant will wilt and turn yellow, and in severe cases may even fall off.

Solution: Provide additional light at the right time, but also pay attention to shade! If the plant has begun to wilt, it is recommended that you do not expose it to strong light all at once. Instead, you can expose it to scattered light first, and the plant will recover naturally.

2. Caused by unreasonable watering

Excessive watering is likely to cause water accumulation. At this time, the roots of the plant will have difficulty breathing, nutrients and water cannot be transported normally, and the leaves of the plant will naturally become listless. On the contrary, if the plant is short of water for a long time, it will not be able to absorb enough water, which will cause its leaves to become wilted.

Solution: Water scientifically and appropriately. The amount of water should be determined according to the size of the potting soil and the degree of dryness and wetness. Also, when watering, pay attention to the water temperature. It is best if the water temperature is equivalent to the room temperature.

3. The air is too dry

If the air nearby is too dry, the plants will also be affected to a certain extent, such as yellowing and shriveling of leaves.

Solution: There are two ways to alleviate dry air. One is to spray water on the leaves of the plant at the right time to increase the humidity of the surrounding air. Another way is to place a basin of clean water around the flower pot, which can also alleviate the dryness in time.

4. Caused by pests and diseases

This situation is also quite common. For example, some common pests, such as red spiders and scale insects, are best cleaned up in time once they are discovered. When faced with the emergence of some diseases, it is necessary to spray pesticides in time to control them.

In addition, it should be noted that the occurrence of diseases and insect pests is often related to the cleanliness of the potting soil. The potting soil should be cleaned in time to reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.
