What to do if Christmas cactus leaves fall off

What to do if Christmas cactus leaves fall off

1. Temperature problem

(1) Specific reasons: If the temperature is too high, above 30 degrees, and lasts for a long time, then the leaves are likely to fall off. This situation occurs more frequently especially in summer.

(2) Solution: In summer, appropriate cooling measures must be taken. For example, move it to a room with a more suitable temperature, or cool it down by spraying water. Never leave it unattended in a high temperature environment. Specifically, the temperature needs to be below thirty degrees to avoid leaves falling.

2. Fertilizer problem

(1) Specific reasons: There are several possibilities. One is that the amount of fertilizer is too much; the second is that the concentration is too high; the third is that raw fertilizer is applied. They all have the same consequence, causing the plant to lose its leaves.

(2) Solutions: For the above three situations, it is necessary to reduce the amount, lower the concentration, or apply decomposed fertilizer. In this way, fertilizer damage can be effectively avoided. Especially in summer, when it is dormant, you don’t need to apply fertilizer.

3. Moisture

(1) Specific reasons: It mainly refers to too much water and water accumulation. This aspect also mainly occurs in the summer because this is the dormant stage.

(2) Solution: Strictly control the amount of water in summer, and strengthen the management of fertilizer and water in autumn. Also, if you find that the plant is losing leaves seriously, you need to move it to a ventilated and cool place.

4. Pest and disease problems

(1) Specific reasons: If the plant is attacked by disease or insect pests, and the main target of damage is the leaves, then the plant may also shed its leaves, and the situation may be more serious.

(2) Solution: The earlier the detection, the better. After discovery, remove the affected leaves in time and spray the corresponding medicine.
