What to do if camellia leaves curl and dry up

1. Disease problem

(1) Specific reason: This plant is susceptible to a disease called damping-off. After the disease occurs, the leaves may dry up and curl. Moreover, it is extremely harmful. In severe cases, many leaves may dry up and fall off, and the flowers may fall off before they even bloom.

(2) Solution: First, we need to cut off all the dead branches and leaves and dispose of them properly. Then, you can spray some thiophanate-methyl solution, the frequency of which should be controlled once a week. In addition, the amount of fertilizer should not be too much and the concentration should not be too high. Also, the moisture needs to be controlled so that the soil is not too wet.

2. Soil Problems

(1) Specific reason: This plant is suitable for living in acidic soil. Well, if the soil becomes alkaline and causes the root system to rot, then the external manifestation may be the drying and curling of leaves.

(2) Solution: If this is the case, we can use 1/1000 concentration of white vinegar to adjust the pH of the soil.

3. Watering problem

(1) Specific reasons: Sometimes, if we water too much at one time or too many times, the soil will be soaked in water for a long time. If this continues, the roots of the plant will rot. Then, it will also manifest itself on the leaves, causing them to dry up.

(2) Solution: If it is caused by excessive water, then we have to adjust the watering. When the growth rate is fast, you can water it more appropriately, but do not allow water to accumulate. However, don't water too much on cloudy or rainy days.
