What to do if the leaves of bird's nest fern are burnt

Causes and treatments for burnt edges on bird's nest fern leaves

1. Insufficient or excessive water

One of the main reasons why the leaves of bird's nest ferns burn is lack of water. If the surrounding air is too dry, it will also cause burnt edges.

Treatment method: The watering methods in winter and summer are different and should be distinguished. The temperature is high in summer and evaporation is fast, so you need to water the plants frequently. If possible, you must wash the leaves 2 to 3 times a day. At the same time, you need to increase the humidity of the surrounding air by sprinkling water on the surrounding ground to increase the humidity. When the temperature is lower in winter, you should keep the soil in the pot moist by spraying more water instead of watering more.

2. Insufficient light

If the potted bird's nest fern is placed indoors for a long time, it will lack light. Treatment method: Place it in a brightly lit place indoors and do not place it in a dark place for a long time. Place in sunlight regularly.

3. Insufficient fertilization

If the plant lacks fertilizer, the edges of the leaves will turn brown.

Treatment method: Fertilization is especially needed during the growing season. A fertilizer composed of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied once every two weeks to replenish the required fertilizer in time.

4. Pest and disease damage

Nematodes can be said to be a major natural enemy of bird's nest ferns, causing the leaves of bird's nest ferns to turn yellow. Treatment method: Kexiandan granules are the best choice for controlling nematodes. Grind them into powder and sprinkle them on the surface of the potting soil.
