What to do if the winter beauty drops its leaves

Causes of leaf drop

Compared with other succulents, Winter Beauty is easy to maintain. You don’t have to spend much time and effort on daily maintenance, and it is not easily affected by diseases and pests. It likes a relatively dry environment with plenty of warm sunshine. And there is no obvious dormancy period. The editor thinks that if there is a problem with such an easy-to-grow succulent, there must be something wrong in its normal breeding, which caused the leaves of Winter Beauty to fall off. The most frequent time for problems is probably when the seasons change. You know, the most suitable environment for winter beauties is dry and warm. The most taboo in maintenance is overwatering, especially when not paying attention to water adjustment during the change of seasons, or temperature problems, these are all possible reasons that may cause Winter Beauty to drop leaves.

Workaround

When the winter beauty begins to shed leaves even though there is obviously no disease or insect pest, you should promptly correct your watering method. In the subsequent maintenance, you should provide water reasonably, try to give less water, step by step, and the phenomenon of leaf falling can be alleviated.

In addition, some flower lovers believe that giving flowers sufficient fertilizers can accelerate the growth of plants. In fact, this is not comprehensive. If Winter Beauty is overfertilized, the root system of the plant will be damaged, which will be reflected on the leaves and they will fall off. Therefore, attention should be paid to the rational use of fertilizers and nutrient reagents.

Special reminder

I don’t know if flower lovers know that winter beauty can be propagated by leaf cuttings. You can use these fallen small leaves for cuttings, and it will definitely bring you surprises! In addition, I would like to remind flower lovers who grow Winter Beauty that sometimes, for the beauty of the entire plant, you can trim the long side branches of Winter Beauty in time, which will make it more beautiful!
