Why did the camellia drop all its leaves?

1. Waterlogging and root rot

Reason: Camellia needs a certain amount of water to grow, but watering in large quantities is incorrect. The water accumulated at the roots is difficult to absorb, resulting in water accumulation in the potting soil, making it difficult for the roots to breathe and leading to root rot. When the roots rot, the transport function will be affected, water and nutrients will be difficult to absorb normally, and the leaves will have problems, causing them to fall off.

Solution: If you find that the plant has fallen leaves due to overwatering, you need to pick out the leaves first, then stop watering immediately and place them in a well-ventilated place to promote water evaporation.

2. Poor ventilation

Reason: Camellia likes an environment with good air circulation. If it is kept indoors for a long time without proper ventilation, the indoor air quality will be poor, which will also cause leaves to fall.

Solution: When growing camellia, pay attention to ventilation and open windows more often to let in air, which can reduce leaf falling.

3. Infection with pests and diseases

Cause: There are problems with the maintenance methods, which may cause infection with pests and diseases, such as leaf spot and anthracnose. These diseases harm the leaves and cause them to fall off.

Solution: Pay attention to protective measures and enhance disease resistance. Cut off the withered branches and leaves in winter to reduce the source of infection. When the condition becomes serious, you can spray the medicine in time.
