What to do if camellia leaves fall

1. Insufficient watering

Cause: Insufficient watering causes camellia leaves to lack water, which manifests as yellowing, drying and falling leaves. The amount of leaf fall is large, and the leaves often start to fall from the bottom.

Solution: Water the plant as soon as you find the soil is dry. Since camellia grows better in a humid environment, it is necessary to water it thoroughly when the soil is slightly dry to provide enough moisture.

2. Water accumulation in the basin

Reason: Stagnant water will cause the roots to be unable to breathe and then rot. After the roots rot, the leaves begin to fall off and the plant grows wilted.

Solution: Water accumulation in the pot may be due to over-watering or failure to clear it in time after rain. In addition to timely drainage, rotten roots must also be pruned. Also pay attention to the amount of watering during normal times, and move the flower pots indoors in time during the rainy season.

3. Insufficient light

Reason: Long-term lack of light will reduce photosynthesis, causing the leaves to turn yellow and begin to fall.

Solution: Move the camellia to a sunny place. If it is summer, you can provide appropriate shade. In winter, you need to expose it to sunlight for as long as possible. Ensure that it is no less than 5 hours per day, and most of the light time is in the early morning when the temperature is also suitable.

4. Poor ventilation

Reason: Poor ventilation can make plants susceptible to disease.

Solution: Move the camellia to a well-ventilated place. It is recommended to place it on the balcony or windowsill so that it can get enough sunlight.
