What to do if the leaves of the dragon boat flower are dry

What is the reason for this phenomenon?

We should first understand what causes the wilting so that we can better deal with it.

Too much light

The first reason may be that the plant is placed directly under the sun, and the light received by the plant is too strong, so the leaves of the plant are burned. Note that the corresponding phenomenon for this reason should be the drying up of the tips of the leaves.

Excessive water

The second possible reason is too much moisture. The above phenomenon may be caused by heavy rain during the rainy season or excessive watering. However, the symptoms of this cause are different from the first one. It is the drying up of the young leaves of the plant.

Germs

The third reason may be the presence of plant pathogens, where the plant suffers from some leaf-related disease that causes the dryness to occur.

Corresponding treatment measures

In response to the first reason, the lighting should be adjusted appropriately. There is no doubt that it cannot survive without light. The growth and flowering of the Ixora also requires a sunny environment. However, it is important to note that when the light is particularly strong in the summer, appropriate measures must be taken to shade the plants, otherwise the leaves will lose water and dry up, and even the flowers will be affected.

If it is the second reason - too much watering, then you need to water reasonably. This plant generally likes moisture and cannot lack water. The soil in the pot should be kept moist. However, it is not good to keep it in overly humid conditions for a long time, which may cause both leaf wilt and root rot. Therefore, it is enough to keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. If you observe that it is too wet, drain the water in time.

The third reason is easier to deal with. Just spray some sterilization solution.
