What to do if the white palm wilts after repotting How to avoid yellow leaves and wilt after repotting

Spathiphyllum is a plant that we often see in our daily life. Because of its high ornamental value and ability to purify the air, many people will keep one or two pots of Spathiphyllum at home. So what should we do if Spathiphyllum wilts after repotting? How can we prevent Spathiphyllum from turning yellow and wilting after repotting? Let's take a look.

What to do if the white palm wilts after repotting

After repotting, the white palm wilts and has yellow leaves. This is mostly due to root problems or the new soil is not fully integrated with the original root soil. So when we repot flowers, it is best to break up their soil and expose their roots to facilitate integration with the new soil. This way, they can quickly adapt to the new soil.

How to avoid yellow leaves and shriveling of white palm after repotting

1. Avoid root damage

If you just bought a new white palm and want to change to a better flowerpot; or if the original soil is not hardened or salinized, but you just want to change to a larger flowerpot, you can directly move all the original soil to the new flowerpot and add new nutrient soil. If the original soil is severely hardened and looks poor, it is best to clean it up and replace it with new nutrient soil. It is recommended to soak the soil near the roots with water, which will cause less damage to the roots.

2. Maintain the environment

After repotting, place the white palm in a dark and ventilated place, and avoid direct sunlight. Because its root system has not yet recovered, direct sunlight will definitely cause the plant to dehydrate. Also, be careful to keep it away from heating equipment and avoid facing the air outlet of the air conditioner, otherwise it will also cause dehydration and dryness.

3. Don’t rush to fertilize or water

In addition, the nutrient soil generally used has a certain humidity, and is kept in a dark place, and the water evaporates slowly, so there is no need to rush to water. Excessive watering can easily hinder the aerobic respiration of the root system, which is not conducive to its recovery. Don't rush to use fertilizers at this time, especially concentrated quick-acting fertilizers. Using them at this time will be counterproductive, not only failing to supplement nutrients, but also damaging the roots.

The reason why white palm becomes sluggish after repotting

1. Poor soil quality

Good soil quality is the main factor to ensure the normal growth of plants, especially Anthurium, which has more stringent requirements on soil quality. Therefore, when choosing potting soil, you must choose flower soil suitable for the growth of Anthurium based on its growth characteristics.

2. Watering

Almost everyone has a habit of watering the plant immediately after repotting, but this will affect the rooting of the anthurium, and in severe cases may cause root rot.

3. Temperature

If you change pots in winter, be sure to keep the indoor temperature no lower than 15 degrees, and at other times the temperature should also be kept at around 25 degrees. Do not change pots when the temperature is above 30 degrees.

4. Lighting

White calla lilies prefer a well-ventilated, diffused-light environment and cannot tolerate strong light, so after repotting, be sure to place the flowerpot in an environment with good air circulation and diffused light.
