Why do Decembrist leaves wither: find out the reason – and the solution will come by itself
Let's make it clear right away: it would be incorrect to use the name "leaves" in relation to the Decembrist, since in this case we are talking about segments.
And sometimes it happens that these very segments begin to wither. The expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh helped to understand the reasons for this unpleasant phenomenon.
As a rule, wilting is observed due to overwatering of the plant, as a result of which its roots rot.
As a result, the roots of the Decembrist cannot consume nutrients from the soil, and its above-ground part withers.
Therefore, if you suddenly thought about buying a pot with an automatic watering system for your “green pet”, quickly dismiss this idea.
In addition, wilted segments appear when the roots get cold, which is not so rare if the pot with the plant is on the windowsill and you often open the window.
If wilting is observed in a plant that has just arrived from the store to your apartment, it may have been overcooled during transportation.
Finally, let us remind you that if you have given the Decembrist a rest period and moved it to a cool room, you should not water it - in this case, the flower ends up in wet and cold soil, which also leads to wilted leaves.
