What to do if the leaves of Osmanthus fragrans are dry

1. Environment

We know if the weather is dry. This may cause the water to flow faster, and the water supply from the trunk to the leaves will be affected. When this happens, the tips and edges will become dry, and it is very important to replenish moisture at this time.

If the sun does not come out often and there is a lot of rain, the new branches that grow are likely to be brittle and tender, and will have more water. If the sun comes out suddenly, the tips of its leaves may be dried out. If the situation is serious, all its leaves may dry up. So at this time we should put it in a dark place, and it will recover on its own after a day or two.

2. Nutrition

If it lacks nutrients, its leaves may be dry. For example, if its roots do not have enough oxygen or potassium, its growth will be affected. What we need to do at this time is to use compound fertilizer and also do some pruning on it. Because this can make its nutrition more balanced and many cells can be exposed to light. It can not only save the withered leaves, but also make the tree shape more beautiful.

Of course, if our potting soil is finer, it may lack humus. This will affect breathing and the edges of the leaves will easily dry out. So we need to replenish it in time.

3. Pests

Insect pests can also cause its leaves to dry out, so we still use insecticides to solve this symptom. It is better to find it early and deal with it early, because if it is left for a long time, it will be difficult to solve and may cause it to die.

4. Aging

Older trees may also have dry leaves. Although this tree is evergreen, it still needs to metabolize, so its leaves are likely to wither next year because its chlorophyll cells have already aged. Moreover, the old leaves are still in the lower part, so they will be worn, so drying up is normal.
