Avoid brown needles on the room fir
Room firs respond very quickly to bad environmental conditions. The fact that a location is not well chosen or the care is not right, is shown first on the needles. If these turn yellow or brown, this usually indicates a problem with too much moisture. How to prevent brown needles on the room pine?
Causes of brown needles on room firs
If the needles of the room fir turn brown, different causes are conceivable:
Do not put the room tub too warm
In summer, the room fir likes a bit warmer. You can look after them well in the flower window if it does not get warmer than 22 degrees. However, room firs do not like direct sunlight, especially not at lunchtime. If necessary, shade the plants accordingly.
In winter you have to search for the room fir a much cooler location. In the heated living room she reacts with brown or yellow needles or sloping branches to the heat.
Increase humidity
A common problem that causes brown needles is too low humidity. The warmer the ambient temperatures, the higher the humidity must be.
Spray the room fir regularly with soft, stale water. Close up shells of water to evaporate nearby.
Pour room firs with fingertip feeling
The root ball should never completely dry out, so that the room fir does not get brown needles. Waterlogging tolerates them even less.
Pour a room fir sparse. Allow the surface of the earth to dry before adding new water. Do the finger test!
There should never be water in the coaster or planter. It is good if you create a drainage when repotting in the bottom of the pot, so that the roots do not come into direct contact with water.
Drafts or frequent contact
Room firs react with discoloration of the needles even if the branches are frequently touched, for example because the plant stands directly on aisles or walkways. Keep it protected so that it does not get draft.
Tips
Zimmertannen are among the non-toxic indoor plants. Nevertheless, they are not necessarily suitable for pet-friendly households, as they do not tolerate frequent touching or nibbling of the branches by birds.
