What to do if the leaves of Dieffenbachia become soft

1. Drought

The first reason why this plant becomes soft is drought, which is also a common problem for other plants. The most obvious feature is that the softening part starts from the top, and it will be accompanied by withering and other conditions. The simplest way to deal with this is to replenish water in time and also sprinkle water on the leaves, which will have a better effect. However, when the temperature is too high, using water that is too cold will be counterproductive.

2. Humidity

Some people may say, I watered the plants, and watered a lot, so why is this still happening? In fact, the problem is very simple, it's that I watered too much. Everything has a suitable amount. Too little and too much are not good either, because if you water too much, there will be less air in the soil and the roots of the plants will be damaged. When encountering this situation, first loosen the soil to allow it to breathe, and replace some of the wet soil. After this treatment, it won’t take too long, about a week for your plant to recover.

3. Penetration

If you think it is caused by too little fertilizer, be careful, because it may be the opposite, because you are applying too much fertilizer. When there is too much fertilizer in the soil, infiltration will increase and the plants will lack water. First, you can use plenty of water to clean the potting soil and drain it in time, or remove some of the soil and add some normal soil. In order to save the plant in time, you should also spray water on the leaves and replenish a certain amount of water in time to ensure the normal growth of the evergreen.

IV. Others

If none of the above situations occur, you still need to check whether there are diseases or insect pests. If so, you need to use medication in time to remove the diseased parts. Strong winds and strong light may also cause plants to wilt. If there is a problem in this link, you should move the plants to another place in time, place them in a ventilated, cool, and humid place, and water the leaves to replenish moisture. In addition, temperature is also a very important factor that requires timely attention. It cannot be too high or too low. In the short term, there may be no problems with the plants, but prevention is necessary.
