What to do if the leaves of the Buddha Lotus droop

1. Reasons

If you water too much, it will cause water accumulation, the roots will not be able to breathe, and the leaves will droop.

Due to poor root growth after repotting, the plant was unable to absorb water and the leaves dried up and drooped.

Insufficient light will cause the lotus plant to become loose and not compact, and the leaves will droop.

The indoor humidity is high and the temperature is low, the rhizomes are prone to rot or have already rotted. If the room temperature is lower than 15℃, the Buddha Lotus will enter a dormant period and the leaves on the above-ground part will wither.

2. What to do

Except for the high temperature in summer, it needs sufficient sunlight in other seasons, but avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight and absorb scattered light.

Keep the potting soil moist in spring and autumn, be careful not to accumulate water, water sparingly in winter, and keep the potting soil dry in summer.

Fertilize once every 2-3 weeks. The nitrogen content of fertilizer should not be too high, and liquid fertilizer should be light rather than concentrated.

Repot the plant every 1-2 years. The soil in the pot should be fertile and breathable, and the old roots should be properly pruned when repotting.
