Decorative plant pahistahis pleases with unusual flowering and unpretentiousness in the care. However, sometimes in its cultivation the growers meet such a problem as twisting of leaves. Let's see why the leaves are twisted in the pahistahis and how to return the plant a beautiful view.
The leaves of the pahistahis twist - the causes
The main reason why pahistahis twists the leaves is the failure to observe the correct watering regime. Decorative flower is a rather hygrophilous plant. The lack of watering and spraying, especially in the summer, leads to the folding of leaves, because the plant is trying to reduce the area of evaporation. The same reaction occurs if the flower pot is placed in a cold room or where there are drafts. In addition, in the pahistahis, the leaves turn yellow and fold in the absence of light and dry air.
Also, leaf folding is the first sign that a spider mite attacked the flower.
The pahistahis twist leaves - what to do?
First of all, when folding the flower leaves, perform a thorough examination for the presence of pests. When they are detected, the pachistahis is recommended to be treated with an insecticide or a soap solution.
When there is a lack of moisture, it is recommended to conduct copious watering, and also spray the plant twice a day. If the pahistahis folds, leaves turn yellow and fall due to the fact that it lacks sunlight, the pot with the flower should be rearranged to the east or west window sill.
If changes to the foliage occur due to drafts and low temperature, the container with the pachistaxis needs to be moved to a warmer place where there is no circulation of cold air flow. With due care and appropriate conditions pahistahis will eventually have to straighten and straighten the twisted leaves. By the way, you can accelerate the recovery of the pet by sprinkling it with any growth biostimulator that will help relieve stress - Zircon, Albit, Epin.
