What to do if the fiddle-leaf fig loses its leaves? This will make the leaves healthier!

Reasons for leaf drop

Generally speaking, it is not a particularly rare thing for a plant to lose leaves, but what we need to think clearly is that it is different for the fiddle-leaf fig. Fiddle-leaf fig is an evergreen plant all year round. Without lush flowers and leaves, wouldn't it be like a doctor without a scalpel? It's a bit scary to think about it. The reason why fiddle-leaf fig loses its leaves is undoubtedly insufficient supply of yin and yang, and too little nutrients in the soil. In addition, insufficient water supply or excessive water supply will cause the fiddle-leaf fig to lose its leaves. Insufficient nutrients and insufficient water supply have the same effect on the fiddle-leaf fig's leaf shedding, which is to make the leaves wither and yellow, while excessive water supply will make the leaves look green, but they will fall off easily at the touch.

The harm of leaf drop

When a fiddle-leaf fig loses its leaves, it is equivalent to its death. The value of the fiddle-leaf fig lies in the fact that it is an evergreen plant with emerald green leaves that can absorb impurity molecules in the air. Once the leaves begin to fall off, not only will it lose its previous beautiful appearance, but it will also no longer have a strong adsorption ability, which is undoubtedly a death for the fiddle-leaf fig.

What to do when leaves fall

First of all, when we find that the fiddle-leaf fig is shedding leaves, we need to find out the reason why it is shedding leaves, whether it is because of insufficient fertilizer, lack of water, or too much water supply. Generally speaking, as long as the cause is found, the problem can be easily solved. If it is due to lack of fertilizer, it is recommended to fertilize the plants once every one to two weeks. If it is due to water problems, it is recommended to water them once a week. Do not water too much. The amount of water at one time should be just enough to completely moisten the soil.
