The reason why the leaves of the jade tree fall off

Root rot

Black Rot

Black rot is a common disease of jade. The stems appear sooty and have black spots. If a large number of leaves fall off, it is caused by these black spots or soot.

Black rot is very easy to control when it is first discovered.

What to do if the leaves of Xiaoyu fall off

Check the root system

If a large number of leaves of the jade plant fall off, you should pull out the plant and check whether the root system is intact. If the roots are rotten, clean them, cut off the rotten parts, dry them and then replant them.

Chemical control

In the early stage of black rot, you can use carbendazim to irrigate the pots. If a large number of black spots and soot appear, you should consider whether to use leaf cuttings or beheading cuttings.
