If Liriope spicata starts to show signs of poor drainage, what steps should i take?
Here are some tips for your liriope spicata if you think it's having poor drainage soil:
If your leaves look a bit yellow, wilting, or just not as green as they used to be, it might be a sign that the soil isn't draining well.
- To help things along, try replacing the soil with organic matter like compost or peat moss. This will help with drainage and aeration, which is great for your plant.
- When it comes to watering, less is more. Avoid overwatering, as this can be tough on your liriope.
- If you've planted more than one, ensure they're not too close together.
Take a look at your leaves. See how they're shaped? Are they wilted? Do you notice any yellow leaves? If so, it might be a sign that the drainage could use some improvement.
I totally understand how tricky this can be. I'm here to help you out with a few steps to make things better. I always recommend replanting in soil that's mixed with compost or rotted well.
Have you tried checking the roots? If your plant has poor drainage, the roots might be rotting, which can be hard to spot. You could try repotting with new planting media and using a mixture like compost or peat moss.
