If the kumquats you raise start to lose leaves, don’t worry, check if it’s because of “this”?

Friends who like to eat oranges have also started to pay attention to growing oranges at home. Although it is not a fruit tree, it is also possible to grow a kumquat potted plant! Huahua heard from the flower seller that kumquat has the beautiful meaning of good luck and fortune! If you are interested, you can try raising it.

However, recently, many flower lovers have sent private messages to Huahua saying that the leaves of the kumquats they grow at home have fallen off, and they don’t know the reason, so they hurried over to ask Huahua. Okay, today Huahua will tell you why kumquat leaves fall and what to do?

According to experience, a big part of the reason why kumquats shed their leaves is because of temperature. Flower lovers in the south may not have experienced the problem of kumquat leaves falling off. On the contrary, this situation often occurs in the north. It is quite cold in the north in winter, so it is normal for leaves to fall off in winter, so generally speaking, don’t worry, new branches will grow in spring.

In winter, you should take measures to keep kumquats warm. It is best not to drop below 0 degrees Celsius. You should also control the moisture content. After all, the light in winter is not as strong as that in summer, and the evaporation function will not be too strong.

If the temperature factor is ruled out, for example, if the leaves do not fall off in winter, then it is very likely not a natural phenomenon, but rather a disease in the kumquat. The reasons why kumquat becomes sick are nothing more than factors in the surrounding environment and the root system.

We need to determine where the problem lies based on the growth habits of kumquat. Kumquat is a shade-tolerant plant, but it also needs a certain amount of light, otherwise it would be bad if the leaves turn yellow. Furthermore, kumquat is not tolerant to waterlogging, so you must pay attention to the amount of water when watering, and do not let the soil of the kumquat tree be too wet, which will cause root rot.

Especially for friends in the south, you should pay more attention to the amount of watering. If you water too much, and the air in the south is relatively humid, it will easily cause problems with the roots of the plants. Everyone should pay attention.

After finding out the cause, observe the phenomenon of leaf falling. If the leaves fall slightly, we'd better change the plant care method appropriately. If we don't know where the problem lies, we can try to raise the kumquat in a place with scattered light and ventilation for a while.

If the leaves fall off severely, then it will be obvious whether it is due to the roots or the environment. If the branches have dried up, then the plant is basically dead.

The above is Huahua’s summary of why kumquat leaves fall off. Do you know?
