Why are the leaves of Chlorophytum comosum becoming soft?

The reason why the leaves of Chlorophytum comosum become soft

The reason why the leaves of Chlorophytum comosum become soft must be related to its growth habits. Perhaps the leaves become soft because no attention was paid to light, fertilization, etc. during maintenance.

Reason 1: Exposure to the sun

Chlorophytum comosum likes sunlight so it needs to be exposed to the sun frequently, but exposure to strong sunlight will naturally affect the growth of the plant, in this case the leaves will become soft and withered.

Reason 2: Water accumulation in the basin

Chlorophytum comosum prefers a humid growing environment, but is also afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, if you water it too much, water will accumulate in the pot, which will cause root rot, affecting the growth and development of the leaves and causing the leaves to become soft and collapse.

Reason 3: Metabolism

The normal metabolism of the Chlorophytum comosum cannot be ruled out. When the Chlorophytum comosum is metabolizing, it will also cause the leaves to soften, but this is normal softening and falling, so there is no need to worry.

What to do if the leaves of Chlorophytum comosum become soft

Once you find out the reason why the leaves become soft, you will naturally know how to prevent and control it.

First, you can check whether the rhizomes are rotten. If they are rotten, stop watering immediately, then cut off the rotten parts and then re-graft.

Pay attention to normal lighting. You can place it under the sun in the morning and evening, but when it is noon and the sun is strong, you need to move it to avoid direct sunlight.

Pay attention to watering. The soil in the pot can be kept in a semi-dry and semi-wet state. Do not let it become wet and do not allow water to accumulate.
