What to do if the leaves of miniature coconut palm are dry

1. Root damage caused by repotting

This cause is a physical and man-made cause. The solution is to trim the damaged roots and branches, and place them in an environment with suitable temperature and good ventilation to allow them to grow slowly, hoping that they can heal on their own. Remember, don't water until it recovers.

2. Flooding caused by excessive water accumulation

Although the humidity should be maintained according to the principle of "better to be wet than dry" during the rapid growth period, too much water accumulation is not advisable. If this happens, you must stop the loss in time and maintain the plant according to the principle of "better dry than wet". The soil in the pot should be moderately moist, and water it again after the surface of the soil is slightly dry.

3. Improper humidity

The miniature coconut palm has very high requirements for humidity, which requires flower growers to artificially adjust the environmental humidity during dry periods, and more attention should be paid in summer. When the wind is strong and the dust is heavy, be sure to clean the dust off the surface of the leaves.

4. Sun exposure

This situation is quite common. Miniature coconut palms like to grow in a moist and shady environment and should avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight. This plant is sensitive to light, and even a short period of direct sunlight can cause yellowing and drying problems. However, if it lives in a dark place for a long time, the color of the leaves will also darken.

If this is the reason for the leaves to wither, the timely remedy is to move the potted plants to a moist, cool place, allow the plants to recover on their own, and observe the subsequent situation.

5. Insufficient fertilizer

Poor soil and insufficient nutrients will cause the leaves to become thin or even yellow. When this problem occurs, you should consider whether the plant is large and the pot is small, resulting in insufficient nutrients in the soil and lack of fertilizer. You can replace the flowerpot, transplant the potted plant into a larger pot, change the soil, and gradually increase the amount of water and fertilizer.

6. Pests and diseases

The most harmful pest and disease to this plant is red spider mites, so you should pay attention to prevention and control. If the disease has already occurred, you can buy the plant pesticide Bichongchao and clean up the diseased branches in time.
