Reason for leaf drop: Too high temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for the lucky tree is 20-30℃. The temperature in summer usually exceeds 30℃. When the temperature is too high, the lucky tree will shed its leaves.

Solution:

1. If the lucky tree is placed on the balcony, it needs to be properly shaded, or moved to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance.

2. Spray water on the leaves and around the flower pots frequently to increase the air humidity and thus reduce the temperature.

Reason for leaf drop: too little light

The lucky tree loves light and can grow normally under full-sun and half-sun conditions. If it is kept in a shaded place indoors for a long time and does not receive light, it will cause leaf fall.

Solution:

In order to avoid leaf fall caused by being in a shady environment, you can move the lucky tree to a sunny place every once in a while to increase its light exposure.

Reason for falling leaves: poor ventilation

The lucky tree likes a well-ventilated environment. If the weather is hot and humid and cannot be ventilated in time, it is more likely to cause the lucky tree to drop leaves.

Solution:

Opening windows frequently to allow indoor air to circulate can effectively prevent the lucky tree from losing its leaves.

Schefflera sheds leaves

Schefflera is an evergreen plant with thick, green leaves that look particularly beautiful when placed indoors. But sometimes, a large number of leaves of the Schefflera fall off for no reason, which makes people feel so sad!

Reason for leaf falling: just bought

Flowers just bought from the flower shop have to go through a growth period, and it is normal for leaves to fall off.

Solution:

Don’t rush to water the newly bought flowers. Instead, decide based on the dryness or wetness of the soil in the pot. It is best to place the Schefflera in a ventilated place with scattered light and do not move it frequently, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of leaf falling.

Reason for leaf drop: Improper lighting

Schefflera prefers partial shade. If the indoor light is dim, it will affect its normal growth and cause leaves to fall off. If it is placed in direct sunlight, the leaves will fall off due to excessive light.

Solution:

1. Place the Schefflera oleifera in a brightly lit living room. Do not expose it to strong light, nor to complete shade.

2. If you want to change the position of the Schefflera arborvitae, you need to move it slowly in a small area to give it time to adapt.

Reason for leaf drop: insufficient fertilization

The leaves of Schefflera are thick and require a lot of fertilizer. If too little fertilizer is applied, the leaves will not get nutrients and will continue to fall off.

Solution:

1. During the growing period of Schefflera arborvitae, fertilize it about once a week. You can use a compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and bury a few grains in the flowerpot.

2. Normally, you can apply fertilizer about once a month. The fertilizer should mainly be a thin liquid fertilizer containing nitrogen. Moldy oil crops or bean cakes can be used to make liquid fertilizer after they are fully decomposed.

Money tree falling leaves

The money tree symbolizes good luck and prosperity, and many people are willing to buy one and put it at home. But many times, the money trees we bought often shed leaves, which has become a trouble for us.

Reason for leaf drop: Too low temperature

The minimum temperature for the normal growth of the money tree is 8℃. Especially in the winter in the north, the temperature is generally very low and it is easy to get frostbite, which leads to leaf fall.

Solution:

When the temperature is low, place the money tree indoors near a heater or other warm place. If the temperature at home is really too low, you can cover the bottom of the pot and the money tree with a plastic bag to keep them warm.

Reason for leaf drop: Overwatering

Although the money tree likes moisture, it is not tolerant to waterlogging. If it is watered too much, the roots are particularly prone to rot, and the first symptom is leaf loss.

Solution:

1. If you water the money tree too much, you have to place the money tree in a ventilated place to allow the water in the pot soil to evaporate as quickly as possible.

2. The money tree is slightly more drought-tolerant. Normally, you can wait until the soil in the pot turns white and is completely dry before watering it.

Rubber tree dropping leaves

Rubber tree is a common foliage plant. Its leaves are large and shiny. The leaf surface is dark green and the back of the leaf is light green. It is a good choice to keep it indoors.

Causes of leaf loss: pests and diseases

Rubber trees sometimes suffer from diseases and pests, the most common of which is anthracnose. The main affected parts are the leaves, and gray spots will appear on the leaves. In severe cases, the spots will become patches and the leaves will fall off.

Solution:

1. Pay attention to ventilation and avoid making the branches too dense.

2. After new shoots grow in early spring, you can spray 0.5% potassium permanganate solution. When anthracnose is first discovered, you can spray the leaves with 50% carbendazim solution.

Reason for leaf drop: Improper watering

Because rubber trees have many leaves and a large evaporation rate, they require a lot of water. However, if the soil in the pot is too wet, it will cause root rot and cause the leaves to fall continuously.

Solution:

1. During the growing period, you can water it once every 3-5 days. When you find that the soil in the pot turns white, water it and keep the soil moist.

2. When the temperature is high in summer, spray water on the leaves and around the flower pots to maintain a high air humidity.

Reason for leaf drop: Improper lighting

Lucky bamboo likes scattered light. If it is exposed to direct sunlight, its leaves will be burned. However, if it is placed in a completely shaded place, its photosynthesis will be hindered and the leaves will fall off.

Solution:

It is best to place lucky bamboo in a brightly lit living room, and it is best to place it in a well-ventilated place during the day.
