What to do if the leaves of the Chinese dragon fruit fall off

1. Normal phenomenon

1. Reason: The Clerodendrum thomsoniae usually starts to shed its leaves in autumn because of the low temperature and the change of seasons.

2. Solution: This situation is very normal and you don’t need to worry too much. This situation usually occurs in autumn, around the time of winter. Although it is green all year round, some leaves will fall with the arrival of winter. Flower lovers can rest assured as long as they continue to maintain it normally.

2. Watering correctly

1. Reason: When watering it, if you don’t choose the correct watering method, sometimes you will water it too much, which will cause its leaves to start falling. If you are not sure, you can observe whether the fallen leaves have turned yellow. If so, it is because of too much watering that the leaves fall.

2. Solution: Do not continue watering it at this time. Loosen the soil appropriately and place it in a well-ventilated place to allow excess water to evaporate as soon as possible.

3. Reduce fertilization

1. Reason: When raising it, people want it to grow faster, so they keep applying fertilizer to it. This will easily lead to excessive fertilizer, which will burn the roots and cause fertilizer damage, and the leaves will turn yellow.

2. Solution: You need to stop fertilizing immediately and dilute it with water to reduce the amount of fertilizer. However, if the effect is not good, you need to replace the soil so that the leaves can return to normal quickly.
