How do the leaves of birds of paradise turn yellow, scorch and dry?

The reasons for the yellowing and scorching of the birds of paradise leaves are: too high temperature, lack of water and too much fertilizer.

1, the temperature is too high

The temperature is high in summer. Birds of paradise are easily sunburned under strong direct sunlight. If it is found that its leaves begin to turn yellow and dry, it should be covered with a black net in time to keep out the light. In severe cases, it is best to move to a cool and ventilated place indoors for maintenance.

2. Lack of moisture

Birds of paradise have big leaves, so they need more water. If the water is not enough, it is easy to burn the edge. If it is found that it needs to be supplemented in time, you can spray water mist on the leaves, and be careful not to water too much at a time, so as to avoid water accumulation in the basin soil and affect the root growth of birds of paradise.

3. Too much fertilizer

Yellow leaves and brown edges of birds of paradise may also be caused by excessive fertilization. When the fertilizer concentration is too high or the amount of fertilizer applied at one time is relatively large, the root system of the bird of paradise may burn, causing the leaves to turn yellow and dry. At this time, a lot of water needs to be poured to dilute the fertilizer.

Breeding method of birds of paradise

1, suitable environment

Birds of paradise like sunny environment. During the breeding season, they should provide at least 4 hours of light every day. When the weather is hot in summer, shading measures should be taken to take plants to the indoor location where light is scattered for maintenance, so as to avoid burning leaves, yellowing and falling off.

Step 2 replenish water

Birds of paradise are not only afraid of drought, but also not tolerant of waterlogging, so pay special attention when watering, and the amount of water should not be too much or too little. Usually, a small amount of water is used to keep the soil moist. During the plant growth, water it once a day, and after entering the dormant period, the watering times should be reduced.

3. Fertilization management

Birds of paradise need adequate nutrition to thrive during their growth. Generally, when they are in the basin, they should add base fertilizer to the basin to increase fertility, and they should also be fertilized regularly in the later period. Fermented rice washing water can be used as fertilizer, and the dosage should not be too much each time.
