What to do if Pyracantha leaves fall off

1. Reason

1. Blown away by cold wind

If you have just bought this kind of flower in your home, it is very likely that the leaves have fallen due to the wind. Places that specialize in selling flowers grow it in greenhouses, where the temperature is relatively high and it is very humid, which is very suitable for it. When it is moved outside the greenhouse, its conditions are changed, so it will drop its leaves.

2. Overwatering

It likes sunlight and the soil needs to be of appropriate humidity. Wait until it is dry before watering it thoroughly. If there is too much water in the pot for a long time and the soil is very wet, the roots will easily rot, which will cause the leaves to fall off.

3. The temperature is too high in winter

In winter, the temperature cannot be allowed to rise above ten degrees, otherwise it will not enter a dormant period, which will affect the long flowering in the second year. If the temperature is very high and the humidity is also very high in severe winter, it will drop its leaves. It can withstand temperatures as low as minus sixteen degrees Celsius and can spend the winter outdoors.

II. Methods

1. If you want it to not shed its leaves, you must first give it a suitable place. It is a positive tree and likes sunlight very much. During its growth period, it should be placed where it can be directly exposed to the sun so that it can grow more flowers. Be sure to place it outside when it is blooming, otherwise it will attract insects.

2. Its roots are well developed and it likes fertilizer and water, but it still needs appropriate amounts of water, not too much. Don't let rain fall directly on it while it's flowering. Its growth period is relatively long, so it needs a lot of fertilizer to irrigate. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added in summer, and you can continue to use them in autumn, which can make the fruit bigger and better looking.
