The reasons and solutions for the shriveled and soft leaves of Tiger Pilan

Tiger Pira , an ornamental and easy-to-care-for indoor plant, is widely loved for its unique leaf shape and adaptability. However, sometimes we may find that the leaves of Sansevieria become shriveled and soft, which will undoubtedly affect its appearance and health. Here we talk about the reasons and solutions for the shriveled and soft leaves of Sansevieria.

1. Lack of water

Although Sansevieria has a certain degree of drought resistance, if it is not watered for a long time, the plant will not be able to obtain enough water to maintain normal physiological activities, and the leaves will become dry and soft. The solution is to add water in time, but be careful to avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

2. Improper lighting

Tiger Piranha likes sufficient scattered light. If it is kept in a dark environment for a long time, photosynthesis will be insufficient and the leaves will not be able to accumulate enough nutrients, causing them to become shriveled and soft. On the other hand, if exposed to strong direct sunlight, the leaves may suffer from sunburn and also become shrunken. Therefore, the snake plant should be placed in a location with bright light but no direct sunlight.

3. Soil compaction

If the soil is not replaced for a long time, it will become barren and compacted, and its air permeability and drainage will deteriorate. The roots will not be able to breathe normally and absorb nutrients, which will lead to leaf problems. Regularly replacing loose, fertile, well-drained soil can effectively improve this situation.

4. Improper fertilization

Too much fertilizer can cause root burn, while too little fertilizer can cause the plant to lack nutrients. Reasonable fertilization, choosing appropriate fertilizers according to the growth conditions of the plants, and controlling the dosage according to the instructions can ensure the healthy growth of Sansevieria.

5. Pests and diseases

The invasion of pests and diseases cannot be ignored either. For example, root rot can damage the roots, affecting the absorption of water and nutrients, causing the leaves to become shrunken and limp. Once pests and diseases are discovered, appropriate prevention and control measures should be taken in a timely manner and appropriate pesticides should be used for treatment.

In short, don't panic when you find that the leaves of the snake plant are dry and soft. Carefully observe the growth environment and status of the plant, find out the specific reasons, and then take targeted measures, such as reasonable watering, providing appropriate light, improving soil conditions, scientific fertilization, and preventing and controlling diseases and pests. I believe that soon the snake plant will recover and show its green and upright posture again.
