What to do if the Chlorophytum comosum plant dries up

1. Reasons

Strong light and high temperature

Chlorophytum comosum likes a warm and humid environment and can tolerate partial shade. Direct sunlight and high temperatures are most likely to cause Chlorophytum comosum to wither and burn.

If the temperature is too high, the Chlorophytum comosum will stop growing, and if the light is too strong, the Chlorophytum comosum plant can easily be sunburned. These two situations can easily cause the Chlorophytum comosum plant to dry up and wither.

Waterlogged soil and root rot

If the soil in the pot of the thousand-leaf spider plant is compacted, not breathable, and has poor drainage. Or if you water too much, water will accumulate in the pot and the drainage will be poor, which will cause the roots of the Chlorophytum comosum to rot. Root rot will reduce the root system's ability to absorb water, causing the leaf tips of the Chlorophytum comosum to turn black, the leaves to curl and dry up.

Failure to change the pot in time

If the plant is not repotted for a long time, the roots will not get enough space to grow. In an environment of high temperature, high drought or cold weather, it is easy for the root tips to shrink and die, losing their absorption function, thus causing the leaves to dry up and shrink.

2. What to do

High temperature and strong light cause

If the drying and withering of the Chlorophytum comosum is caused by light and heat, you can move the plant to a semi-shaded environment, cut off the dead leaves, and spray water on the leaves and the environment frequently. The newly grown leaves can then return to normal.

Waterlogging in the pot soil

If the dryness and withering are caused by this reason, the solution is mainly to deal with the roots. Remove the plant from the pot and remove the soil, cut off the rotten roots, replace it with clean, breathable sandy soil, do not spray too much water, wait until new roots grow, and then replace it with fertile culture soil for planting.

Failure to change the pot in time will cause

This situation is caused by not changing the pot for a long time, so you should change the pot in time. Choose a larger flowerpot suitable for the further growth of Chlorophytum comosum, remove the original plant from the pot, process it, and then put it back in the pot.
