Azalea succulent...the leaves fall off if touched, and only the roots will be left if not treated!

Azalea

Reason 1: Not adapting to the environment.

The azaleas bought at the flower market are generally grown in greenhouses. After returning home, they are not adapted to the new environment and are prone to losing leaves.

Solution:

Don’t rush to change the soil or apply fertilizer to the newly acquired azalea. Instead, pay attention to maintaining the air humidity, spray water frequently, and avoid direct sunlight. Wait for it to slowly adapt before maintaining it normally.

Reason 2: The soil pH is incorrect.

Rhododendrons prefer acidic soil. Growing them in alkaline soil will cause their leaves to turn yellow and fall off.

Solution:

When preparing the soil, you can use leaf mold, which is acidic. In addition, you can use salt-free rice vinegar diluted 50 times with water to water the flowers, which can slowly change the acidity and alkalinity of the soil.

Reason three: Wrong placement.

Rhododendrons cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. Too strong light on the balcony will cause leaves to fall off. In addition, a place without ventilation for a long time will also cause leaves to fall off.

Solution:

We can place the azalea in a place with diffuse light at home, such as a living room or windowsill. Usually, you should open windows for indoor ventilation to improve the air quality.

Succulent

Reason 1: Water turns black and rots and leaves fall off.

This is a common reason for succulents to drop leaves. If the succulents are not removed in time, they will suffer from black rot and the leaves will fall off easily at the touch.

Solution:

Once you find that the succulents are melting, you should remove the diseased leaves immediately, otherwise the mold will continue to spread to the entire succulent. If the leaves start to fall off, it means that it is already very dangerous. Be sure to clean up and destroy the diseased leaves.

Reason 2: How much light does water contain?

Succulents are very drought-resistant and do not need frequent watering. Succulents like light very much. Too much watering and too little light will cause the succulents to grow weakly and easily lose leaves.

Solution:

Succulents only need to be watered once a week. It is better to leave them dry than to have water accumulate. If the roots rot, the leaves will definitely fall off. At the same time, the succulents should be exposed to the sun so that they can grow strong and not lose leaves.

Reason three: Leaf shedding due to self-reproduction.

The reason for leaf falling is normal. Some leaves of succulents will fall off naturally during the growth process. If your succulents do not have other diseases, you don’t need to worry.

Solution:

The fallen leaves can be used for leaf cuttings to propagate succulent babies yourself. Let the leaves dry in a ventilated place for a day or two, then lay them flat on the soil surface, spray them with a little water and wait for them to germinate.

Gardenia

Reason 1: Insufficient air humidity.

Gardenia likes water. If the air is too dry when grown indoors, it will easily cause leaves to fall off.

Solution:

Prepare a spray bottle and spray water around the gardenia frequently. You can also spray the leaves. This can increase the humidity of the air and ensure that the gardenia has a suitable growth environment. It should be noted that when there are flower buds, water cannot be sprayed on the flower buds.

Reason 2: Lack of light.

Gardenia cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, but if it is kept indoors for a long time without sufficient light, the leaves' ability to photosynthesize will decrease, eventually causing the leaves to fall off.

Solution:

You can move the gardenia to the balcony to bask in the sun when the sunlight is not strong during the day to ensure that the leaves can carry out sufficient photosynthesis.

Reason three: Malnutrition.

The growth of flowers requires sufficient nutritional support. If gardenia is grown for a long time, the fertility of the potting soil will decrease, and it will not be able to support its normal growth, which will cause leaves to fall off.

Solution:

You can apply a 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, or you can use chicken manure and bone meal as base fertilizer and mix it into the soil. With sufficient nutrition, not only will the leaves become greener, but it will also promote the growth of branches and flower buds.

camellia

Reason 1: Waterlogging in the pot soil.

The more you water the flowers, the faster they grow! Waterlogging in the soil can cause root rot. The roots will not be able to absorb water and nutrients normally, and the leaves and branches will not meet the conditions required for growth, so they will fall off.

Solution:

Be sure to pay attention to the amount when watering. The easiest way is to dig about 2 cm into the soil and check. If the soil feels dry, it is time to water it. Water slowly until water flows out from the bottom of the pot.

Reason 2: Poor ventilation.

When growing camellia indoors, poor ventilation often occurs, especially in winter. When ventilation and air quality are poor, the camellia will drop leaves and buds.

Solution:

Pay attention to the circulation of indoor air and open windows frequently to ventilate, which is conducive to the good growth of camellia.

Reason three: Pests and diseases cause leaf drop.

Camellia will also lose leaves if it is infected with pathogens. The most common one is anthracnose, which will cause yellow spots to appear on the leaves and then they will fall off.

Solution:

Once diseased leaves appear, they must be removed and destroyed in time, otherwise they will slowly infect the entire camellia plant. You can spray some carbendazim regularly to effectively prevent bacterial infection.
