Why are the leaves of the Dancing with the Wind wrinkling and falling off? What should I do?

1. Improper watering

Reason: The leaves of Dancing with the Wind become wrinkled and fall off. If the soil feels very dry and the soil in the pot feels particularly light when you weigh it with your hand, it is probably caused by not watering it for a long time and the soil is too dry. If the soil feels very wet, it is probably due to overwatering, which has caused root rot.

Solution: If there is no watering for a long time and the soil is too dry, we only need to water it in time and water it thoroughly. If you water too much and the soil is waterlogged and the roots are rotten, you will need to remove the plant from the soil, trim off the rotten roots, dry the roots, and then replant them.

2. Slow-down stage

Cause: The leaves of Dancing with the Wind become wrinkled and fall off. You should also consider whether the potting soil has been changed recently. If the pot has been changed, the plant will have a period of acclimatization. It is normal for the plant to wilt and drop leaves during the acclimatization period.

Solution: It is normal for the Dancing Plant to wilt and drop leaves when it is in the pot. We just need to place it in a cool and ventilated place until the leaves of the plant become full again. After the potting is completed, it can be maintained normally.

3. Purchase medicinal herbs

Reason: The Dancing Plant that many people buy is often not the Dancing Plant, but the Jade Plant of Medicinal Varieties. Even if it is the real Dancing Plant, what you bought may be the Medicinal Varieties. This kind of Medicinal Varieties is difficult to maintain and has great side effects, and wrinkling and leaf shedding are inevitable.

Solution: If you accidentally buy a variegated plant, you can only cut off the branches and leaves of the plant, place it in a diffused light and ventilated environment, water it when the plant is dry and wet, and slowly grow the plant back to its healthy state.
