What should I do if Schefflera affine leaves fall in winter? Why does it fall?

1. Increase the temperature

1. Reason: Schefflera arborvitae’s cold resistance is not very strong. If you don't pay attention to keeping it warm when the temperature is very low in winter, it will freeze and cause it to lose leaves.

2. Solution: At this time, you should find a way to increase the temperature around the plants. You can use a plastic bag to keep it warm. In addition, if conditions permit, you can move it directly to a warm environment with a temperature of about 10°C for maintenance.

2. Control watering

1. Reason: In winter, the growth rate of Schefflera will be greatly reduced, and its water requirement will also be greatly reduced, so the number of watering should be reduced. If you forget to control the water after winter and water it too much, it may cause leaves to fall off.

2. Solution: At this time, you need to reduce watering. It is best to water it every 10-15 days to keep the soil slightly moist and dry. This way it will be able to recover slowly.

3. Lack of sunlight

1. Reason: The sunlight is relatively weak in winter. If you usually keep it in a semi-shaded place and do not provide adequate light when the sunlight intensity decreases in winter, it may have problems with falling leaves due to lack of sunlight.

2. Solution: If conditions permit, you can move it to a place with sufficient sunlight to provide it with additional light. If it is inconvenient to move it, you can also put a few lamps around it to supplement the light.
