What to do if ivy loses leaves

1. Lighting

The light must be controlled well, because it prefers light and has a high tolerance to cool weather, so we can place it in semi-shade or scattered light. In winter, because the light is not strong, we can put it directly under the light to grow. In summer we need to give it half shade and half sun, only in this way can its leaves remain healthy.

2. Watering

Watering needs to be controlled, otherwise leaf fall is inevitable. Generally, we only need to water it when the soil is relatively dry. Each time we water it, we must give it sufficient amount so that it will grow well. Normally, the water we use to water it should be the same temperature as the environment.

3. Clean the dust

If we find that the leaves are stained with dust, we'd better clean them, because dust will affect its photosynthesis, and the probability of invasion by pests and diseases will be greatly increased, which will further lead to leaf fall.

4. Fertilization

Fertilization is necessary, otherwise it is likely to drop leaves. We cannot apply too much fertilizer at normal times, but we must apply it frequently. The best way is to dilute the nutrient solution before spraying, which will be more effective.

5. High temperature protection

We need to be careful in the hot season. At this time, we need to control the time of watering, usually in the early morning and evening, otherwise it is easy to cause root damage, and then the leaves of the plant fall off and die.

6. Plum Rains

We also need to control the rainy season. Generally speaking, if there is stagnant water, we need to pour it out so that the roots will not rot and the leaves will not fall off.

7. Self-protection

Dropping leaves may also be a way for it to protect itself, because it will prevent its water from evaporating so quickly. So at this time we can also add some water ourselves so that it can absorb moisture, and it doesn't have to protect itself by dropping leaves.

8. Disease prevention

The reason why it drops leaves may be due to disease. In this case, we just need to kill the virus. Generally we can use soapy water or omethoate to spray for treatment.
