Errors in the care of house plants

In many homes the wrong climate for growing indoor plants, and often even the most resistant plants will start to hurt.

UPPER LEAVES RETAIN ELASTICITY, BUT TURNING YELLOW

Caused, as a rule, a high content of calcium in the soil to those plants that cannot tolerate lime or hard water for irrigation.



DOTS OR SPOTS ON THE LEAVES

If the points or spots dry and brown, the most likely reason is lack of water.

If the affected area is soft, dark brown color is likely due to waterlogged soils.

If the points or spots are white or yellowish, the defeat caused by using cold water when watering, the water gets on the leaves, lesions of the aerosols, and the too strong sunlight or disease/pests.

If the affected areas get wet and similar to a blister, or dry and in the form of dings, the cause of the disease. Some pests can also cause spotting of the sheet surface.

LEAVES CURL AND FALL OFF

This is a consequence of the lack of heat, waterlogged soil or defeat cold drafts.

THE LEAVES SUDDENLY FALL OFF

Rapid defoliation without a previous long period of fading or loss of color usually indicates the transferred plant shock. It can be caused by a significant temperature change (like lowering and raising), a sharp increase in the intensity of the lighting in the daytime or strong cold winds.

The sudden falling of leaves, especially in woody plants, can also be caused by drying of the soil at the roots.



THE LEAVES TURN YELLOW AND FALL OFF

The lower leaves of adult plants over time naturally turn yellow and then fall off.

When this happens with multiple sheets, then the likely cause is waterlogged soil or cold drafts.

THE LEAVES LOSE THEIR SHINE AND LOOK LIFELESS

Probable cause – too much light; another reason could be spider mites. Even healthy green leaves may look dull if not washed.

BROWN TIPS OR LEAF EDGES

The most probable cause drying of the tips of the leaves – dry air.

Another possible reason – physical damage, when the tips of the leaves often touch on or are they pressed against the window or wall.

If the edges of leaves yellow or brown, it can be caused by several reasons: a waterlogged soil, insufficient irrigation, lack of light, too much light, too low temperature, too high temperature, excess minerals, dry air or drafts. To determine the true cause will help other symptoms.

DROOPING LEAVES

Common causes or drying of the soil (due to lack of irrigation) or waterlogging of the soil due to poor drainage or too frequent watering).

Other causes can be an excess of light (particularly if the leaves droop regularly in the middle of the day), dry air, too high air temperature, close the pot or pests.

THE LEAVES ON NEW PLANTS FALL OFF

For newly transplanted, newly purchased or moved from one room to another plants naturally lose one or two of the lower sheet.

The shock from the change of environment can be diminished when transplanted the plant is only slightly larger than the previous pot, cover when you transfer home from the store and carry with badly lit place to a bright light with intermediate stay a few days in partial shade.
 

THE LOWER LEAVES WITHER AND FALL OFF

Three possible reasons – lack of light, too high temperature and insufficient irrigation.
