What to do if the lucky tree loses its leaves? How to save it

1. Increase lighting

The lucky tree is relatively shade-tolerant, but it also likes light. It will grow better if there is enough light during its growth process. If the lucky tree grows in a relatively shady environment for a long time, the leaves will fall off due to insufficient light and inability to synthesize nutrients. It needs to be moved to a location with better sunlight indoors, such as a balcony, which also has better ventilation. Just pay attention to shading in the summer.

2. Lower the temperature

The suitable growth temperature for the lucky tree is between 20-30 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in summer is generally higher. When the outside temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the lucky tree will stop growing due to the high temperature, and in severe cases, it will even shed its leaves. It needs to be temporarily moved to a cool place, and spray water around it and on its leaves to cool it down, increase the air humidity, and replenish moisture for the leaves.

3. Water appropriately

In the process of caring for the lucky tree, if you water too much and it exceeds the plant's absorption capacity, the excess water will accumulate in the potting soil and eventually form waterlogging. This will hinder root respiration and its absorption and transmission of nutrients, leading to internal malnutrition and yellowing and falling of external leaves. If too little watering cannot meet the plant's growth needs, the plant's leaves will fall off due to lack of water.

Therefore, you should first observe the condition of the soil in the pot to see whether there is too much or too little water. If you find that the soil in the pot is too moist, you need to loosen the soil to speed up the evaporation of water. If the leaves fall off severely, the roots may be damaged and the plant needs to be removed from the pot and replanted after the damaged roots are cut off. If the soil in the pot is too dry, add water in time to keep the soil moist, but without water accumulation.

4.Appropriate topdressing

The growth of the lucky tree requires sufficient nutrients through fertilization. If not enough fertilizer is applied, the plant may lose its leaves due to malnutrition. It is necessary to apply fertilizer in time to supplement the nutrients needed for plant growth. You can use decomposed cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer.
