What to do if the leaves of the green treasure tree droop

1. Leggy

This may be because it has many overgrown branches and leaves, so the light cannot be evenly distributed on every leaf, and the ventilation effect is greatly reduced, so it is easy for its leaves to droop. Many people have the wrong perception that the more branches and leaves their green treasures have, the better. It can be said that this is quite wrong, because too many branches and leaves will result in each branch and leaf getting limited growth resources and unable to grow normally.

At this time, we need to prune it and thin out the overly dense areas.

2. Environment

Environmental changes can also easily cause leaves to droop, which is mainly caused by temperature and humidity. Because after they have become familiar with a relatively stable environment, once there is a change, the branches and leaves may droop because their state has not been adjusted.

If this is the reason, then we can only wait and let it adapt slowly.

In addition, it actually has requirements for water. We cannot over-water it, otherwise it is likely to cause damage to its roots. In winter, we cannot sprinkle water casually, especially warm water, unless it is to clean dust, otherwise do not sprinkle it easily. Otherwise, its leaves will easily show bad symptoms due to changes in temperature and humidity. If this happens, we have to cut off the bad leaves.

3. Seedling slow growth after repotting

Generally speaking, if the plant we bought is in a new pot or we change the pot ourselves, and because it grows larger, it is easy to damage its roots, which indirectly leads to a decrease in its absorption capacity, and its leaves will not stand upright.

4. Lack of water and fertilizer

Another reason that can cause this phenomenon is that there is not enough water and fertilizer for it, but we cannot act rashly at this time. We can first sprinkle some water on its leaves, wait until the leaves stretch, and then water the roots. At this time, the amount of watering needs to be sufficient. If there is no fertilizer, then buy it and apply it.

5. Improper fertilization

This phenomenon can easily occur if we do not follow specific steps when applying fertilizer. Because it needs well-rotted fertilizer and it needs to be relatively thin. If it is not applied as required, the leaves will easily droop.

If this is the reason, you need to use clean water to dilute the fertilizer. In serious cases, you should just change the pot. In addition, we need to place it in a cool place, cut off the roots and nearby leaves, and pay attention to watering.
