Corn Plant Problem?? I have a corn plant, and some of its leaves, the edges...
I have a corn plant, and some of its leaves, the edges of them get yellow and dried out. But, parts of the corn plant are without fault fine.
Wat could be causing this problem?
Answers: If the leaves are going washed out and limp, later it's probably getting too much water, or it's not draining properly. Most plants should never sit within water for any length of time; my rule is that no plant should sit surrounded by water for more than an hour. All plants should enjoy a proper drainage hole in the pot, so that excess sea can run out; if you catch that wet in a saucer of some sort so that it doesn't net a mess, then you should fashion sure that you empty the saucer after an hour.
If, in opposition, the leaves are getting dry and brittle, then you may hold a couple of other problems. Your home may be too dry, or the plant may be near a narrow road where family or animals walk, and when they brush up against it, they injure the tissue and it dies. You should keep hold of the plant's soil moist, but not wet. There are VERY few plants that can tolerate boggy soil, as I mentioned above, but in that are likewise few than can tolerate have dried-out roots.
Also, if the plant is in direct sun, or if it is practical a heat register or other warmness source, it can cause the tissue to dry out faster than the plant can replenish it, and the tissue dies.
The untold majority of time, people be a sign of well, but they slay their plants with humanity. Stick to bright light but no direct sunlight, moist soil, but not WET soil, and regular low-strength feedings, and your plants should be satisfied.
Good luck!
Over watering can sometimes cause this, or if enough sunlight, or too much sun......the wan leaves will be replaced with strange ones,....gently nick off the ashen leaves, so that you don't bend or break anything else....then put frothy water at bottom, and begin misting the leaves for watering, it will flourish again soon.
