What is the reason for the leaves of Epiphyllum to dry up?

Generally speaking, if the plant is growing well and only one or two leaves have this condition, the main reason is sunburn. If it is kept in a dark environment for a long time and suddenly put in the sun, part of its leaves will be sunburned. At first, it will be a small scar. It does not necessarily mean that the surrounding tissues will also die. It will gradually expand to a certain size and then stop spreading.

Another situation is root rot, because its root system is also very developed, and part or a little bit of the root system has rotted, and the leaves that the root system supplies nutrients to will also rot. Gradually, the leaves will rot and dry up from the tip or edge.

Generally, slight yellowing and curling of leaves only need to be pruned off, and the plant can recover after the maintenance environment returns to normal. In addition, it may also be related to the variety of plants or fertilization. If too much fertilizer is applied, the plant cannot absorb nutrients and the leaves will turn yellow. In addition, when fertilizing, the fertilizer may splash onto the leaves and cause them to burn. At this time, special attention should be paid to the fertilization method.

How to make Epiphyllum bloom more?

Epiphyllum is a leafless flower, and photosynthesis is mainly carried out on stems and leaves. Epiphyllum tolerates shade, but also likes light. When caring for Epiphyllum, a location with diffuse light and good ventilation is the best. The most suitable light exposure time is 3 to 6 hours in the morning and evening every day.

The soil requirement for maintaining Epiphyllum is loose, breathable, and slightly acidic soil without water accumulation. Mixed soil can be used to give full play to the advantages of the soil, with one-third of each of garden soil, humus soil, and freshwater river sand to prepare the flower soil.

Epiphyllum is drought-tolerant, but its thick stems and leaves need to consume too much water when growing, so when watering, the pot soil should be "dry and wet alternately" to allow the pot soil to dry and wet for a period of time. Then water it thoroughly. Spray it every morning and evening to supplement the moisture for leaf growth.

Fertilizing Epiphyllum mainly uses fermented farmyard manure to supplement various nutrients, mainly nitrogen, to promote the growth of stems and leaves. A small amount of "phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer" is buried in the flower soil. Phosphorus and potassium can promote root growth and improve disease resistance.
