What to do when Scheffler yellowing leaves and drops
Many growers are faced with the problem of yellowing leaves from Scheffler. Over time, they begin to fall off, leaving a bare stem. To understand what to do in such a situation it is necessary to understand the causes of this phenomenon.
There may be several:
Wrong temperature regime
The optimum temperature of the contents of the plants is the following range: from 17 to 22 degrees. Summer heat, it is poorly tolerated. Vyat leaves begin first, and then fall off.
In this case it is necessary to change the location of the plants, and possibly increase the humidity. At temperatures lower than this, it is necessary to lift it by any means available. It should be installed in a room heater for the plants, or find a new place.
waterlogged soil
This reason is very common when Scheffler observed yellowing and leaf relief. The plant loves moisture, though, but not enough to block the access to oxygen.
Too frequent watering, root rot begins. The plant does not get the necessary nutrients from the soil and the leaves begin to drop.
Solution to this problem is to change the watering regime. But before that will have to remove it from the pot, cut all the rotten roots and transplanted to a new capacity. Pot should be pre-disinfected, cover new ground and put the plant there. Roots desirable to incubate biostimulant solution for 2 hours.
Too dry air
If the reset occurs leaves in the winter, the cause may be effect of dry air to the plant. The close proximity of one to the radiator can be observed such a phenomenon.
In this case, the decision of the issue will be a permutation of the plants away from heating appliances. With very dry air in the room to spray the plant must often purchase or room humidifier.
You can use the old-fashioned way - to hang a damp cloth on a radiator.
So, to avoid problems with the leaf fall is necessary:
· Contain plant at the desired temperature;
· Observe proper watering regime;
· During the winter to keep away from radiators.
These were the main reasons due to which there may be a loss of leaves at Scheffler. Sometimes when buying it in the store, inexperienced growers washed roots before transplanting. Because of these actions the plant is under stress and can even die.
It is better to use the method of handling. Then it would start soon and will show good growth.
