Why is the ginseng banyan tree losing leaves? What should I do?

1. Insufficient light

Reason: The reason for the plant to drop leaves may be insufficient light. If it is placed in the shade for a long time, the plant is prone to yellow leaf disease. Once infected, the leaves will fall off in large numbers, so you must pay more attention.

Solution: If it is caused by lack of light, be sure to move it to a well-lit place and let it get more sunlight to encourage the plant to photosynthesize better. It should be exposed to sunlight for at least two hours a day. If there is sufficient light, the overall condition will be better.

2. Too much water and fertilizer

Reason: Frequent watering during management will cause water accumulation in the soil, which will hinder the normal breathing of the roots. Over time, it will cause root rot, yellow leaves, and leaf fall. Applying too much fertilizer is not a good idea either, as it will cause fertilizer damage and leaf drop.

Solution: If too much water and fertilizer are applied, the amount should be reduced. Some soil should be dug out and some new soil should be added. This will help the plant absorb fertilizer and water and facilitate its recovery. In addition, the amount of application should be reduced in the later stage.

3. Environmental Sudden Change

Reason: Frequent changes in the growing environment will make it difficult for the plant to adapt, leading to acclimatization problems and leaf loss.

Solution: Do not frequently change the growing environment of the ginseng fig during management. If it starts to lose leaves, put it back to its previous position immediately. When changing the environment, try to ensure that it is similar to the previous environment, especially in terms of temperature and light, so that it can adapt slowly.
