Why are the leaves of cinnabar root (wealth seeds) dry and drooping?

The reason why the leaves of cinnabar root are dry and drooping

drought

Cinnabar root is not drought-tolerant, so when growing cinnabar root, if it is not watered enough and is left too dry for a long time, its leaves will dry out. Of course, this does not only mean not watering for a long time. When watering halfway, it is also easy to cause the roots of the cinnabar root to lack water and the leaves to dry and droop.

Bacterial wilt

In addition, the reason why the leaves of cinnabar root dry up and droop may also be diseases and insect pests, which often manifest as bacterial wilt.

The main symptom of bacterial wilt is that there is no abnormality with the plants on the ground, but they suddenly lose their vitality during the day, with the above-ground parts withering while the stems and leaves remain green. This process is relatively rapid, with the roots first becoming diseased and rotting, and then gradually spreading upwards.

What to do if the leaves of cinnabar root are dry and drooping

Reasonable watering

Since long-term drought can easily cause the leaves of cinnabar root to dry out and droop, watering must be sufficient and reasonable. Be careful to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and be sure to water thoroughly.

Control of bacterial wilt

The leaves of cinnabar root become dry and droopy, so it is necessary to prevent and treat bacterial wilt to avoid further damage. Bacterial wilt is prone to occur when the temperature is high and the humidity is high, the soil is not replaced for a long time, the soil is compacted, or there is too much watering and too much nitrogen fertilizer. Therefore, we should first prepare for the growth environment and avoid the above-mentioned unfavorable conditions. If bacterial wilt occurs, it is necessary to spray streptomycin in time for prevention and control.
