What is the reason for the leaves of Cineraria to wilt?

Moisture Problems

Cineraria likes moisture and has relatively high requirements for humidity. If the soil in the pot is too dry during the cultivation process, it will cause the leaves to wilt or even turn yellow, causing insect pests.

Solution

Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of watering and avoid allowing the soil in the pot to be too dry or waterlogged, so as not to affect the normal growth of the leaves.

Temperature issues

The suitable growth temperature for Cineraria is 15-20℃. If the temperature is too high, the branches and leaves will grow too long, affecting flowering. If the temperature is too low, the plant will stop growing and suffer frost damage.

Solution

Be sure to control the temperature. It should be placed in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance in spring, summer and autumn, and pay attention to shade in summer.

Lighting issues

Cineraria is a short-day, light-loving flower. If there is insufficient light, the flowers of Cineraria will grow, the stems will become slender, and the flower color will be light and irregular. If the light is too strong, the leaves of Cineraria will wilt and gradually turn yellow.

Solution

It is best to have 8 hours of sunshine a day and place it in a well-ventilated place with scattered light. In the rainy and snowy winter, insufficient light should be prevented.

Fertilizer issues

If the amount of fertilizer is not controlled properly and the paint is applied in a poorly ventilated environment, it will cause the leaves to wilt or even die.

Solution

Adjust the amount of water distribution. Usually, apply thin fertilizer every two weeks, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, with a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer.
