What to do if the leaves of spring fern are rotten

Causes of Leaf Rot

1. Too much watering: All plants will suffer leaf rot due to excessive watering. Soil that is too moist for a long time can easily cause plant leaves to rot. If it is summer, the temperature is high but the weather is hot and humid, so you should be careful when watering. In addition, water will accumulate in the pot, which is unbearable for all soil-grown plants. If the accumulated water is not drained away as soon as possible, it will be difficult for the plant to avoid rotting.

2. Excessive fertilization or incorrect fertilization methods will cause fertilizer damage to the plant roots, making them unable to absorb water and nutrients normally, and the leaves will rot and show other symptoms.

3. Pests and diseases cause leaf rot.

How to solve it

If rot has already occurred but it is not serious, you can prune it accordingly. If it is due to excessive water or improper fertilization, you will need to change the soil and replant it.

Before planting plants, you must choose soil that is both water-permeable and air-permeable. This way, even if you occasionally water too much at one time, it will be easy to drain out.

When watering daily, do not pour it in all at once, but pour it in slowly. When watering, you can control the amount of water to see how much water you pour in and how much water will flow out of the drainage hole at the bottom. Then make a record so that you can compare it with future watering. Be sure to control watering when the temperature drops to 15 degrees, as the plant's demand for water gradually weakens.

When applying fertilizer, be sure to pay attention to the concentration of the fertilizer, dilute the more concentrated fertilizer, and apply it slowly along the edge of the pot.

Try to choose a place with good air circulation for maintenance.
