What to do if the kumquat tree loses leaves

1. Insufficient nutrients

If it is often in a nitrogen-deficient environment, it will not have enough nutrients and its leaves will fall off. During its growth period, you need to add more slightly acidic fertilizer to it and loosen the soil. After it enters dormancy, in addition to strictly controlling the dosage of water, you also need to stop fertilizing it, especially not applying chemical fertilizers, otherwise it will suffer from fertilizer damage and its roots will be burned. The owner must ensure that it is given enough nutrients and light during care so that it can return to normal.

2. Improper watering

Because it prefers acidic soil, if tap water is used, it will destroy the acidity of the soil, it will lack iron, the leaves will turn yellow and then fall off. We can solve this problem by watering it regularly with a diluted solution of FeSO4.

3. Suffering from pests

This kind of tree is more attractive to insects, and red spider mites and yellow spider mites are prone to grow on this kind of tree. Once it is attacked by these pests, yellow spots will grow on its leaves, and if the situation is very serious, its leaves will fall off. In order to reduce pests, give it enough light during daily maintenance, so that there will be fewer pests.

Once it shows signs of illness, it should be controlled with medication.
