What to do if the Albizia Julibrissin tree loses its leaves

1. Characteristics of Albizia Julibrissin Leaves

The Albizia Julibrissin sheds its leaves in autumn, and its leaves are very dense, so it is very suitable for shade. Another special thing about it is that its leaves are wide open during the day and close at night. This phenomenon is called the "sleep" movement of plants. Not only the Albizia julibrissin, but other plants such as mimosa also do this. During the day, they will stretch out their branches and leaves towards the sun, and at night they will close in pairs, because this can minimize the loss of heat and water. Not only does the Albizia Julibrissin close its leaves at night to enter this "sleeping" state, but once it encounters strong winds and rainstorms, it will also slowly close its leaves to prevent the more fragile parts of its leaves from being destroyed by the outside world. This adaptive response to the environment, like that of humans, is a protective measure for the trees themselves.

2. Reasons and solutions for the tree to drop leaves

1. Seasonal changes lead to

Under normal circumstances, the Albizia Julibrissin tree will begin to shed its leaves around October every year. The specific time depends on the local temperature, but in general, the leaves will fall every autumn.

Leaf fall caused by this reason is a very normal phenomenon. There is no need to worry too much. Just do daily maintenance.

2. Insufficient or excessive watering

Improper watering is also one of the possible causes of leaf drop on the tree. When the climate is too dry, plants are prone to lack of water, which will cause the growth of the Albizia Julibrissin to be poor. The nutrient transport process is hindered, causing the Albizia Julibrissin to shed its leaves prematurely. On the other hand, if watering is too frequent, the drainage of the planted land will fail, resulting in a large amount of water accumulation at the roots, which will also affect the normal growth of the Albizia Julibrissin and cause the leaves to fall prematurely.

Once you discover that leaf fall is caused by this factor, you must pay attention to the frequency of watering in time, provide sufficient water in hot and dry weather, and stop watering in rainy weather.
