What to do if the leaves of the love vine become thinner

reason

There are many reasons why the leaves of the love vine become thinner, the main ones are: lack of nutrients, improper pruning and different varieties.

Lack of nutrients

Slow growth, slender branches and thin leaves are directly related to factors such as nutrition, light and water. If you don't water the plant frequently, not only will the branches and leaves lack water, but the nutrients stored in the roots under the soil will also decrease, resulting in slow growth. Or the location where the flowers are placed has poor sunlight exposure. The love vine is a light-loving plant and needs sufficient light to grow normally.

Improper pruning

Improper pruning or no pruning. Lack of nutrients or excess nutrients will cause the love vine to grow too tall, and the best way to solve this problem is to prune it. After pruning, the plants require sufficient nutrient supply. If they are not pruned properly and nutrients are not replenished in time, the leaves will become thinner.

Different varieties

This situation is rare. Now the love vine has mutated and the leaves of certain varieties will gradually become thinner during the growth process. If you really encounter this situation, you can only let it grow.

Treatment

Proper nutritional supplementation

The thinning of leaves does not mean that the plant is dying, but rather a lack of light and fertilizer. You can apply some foliage fertilizer, mainly nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, and just sprinkle a thin layer on it.

You should also pay attention to the method when watering. Don't water directly on the leaves. Also, don't water too much or too frequently, otherwise the leaves will not be treated properly and the roots will rot first.

The love vine likes scattered light and should be exposed to the sun as much as possible, but not direct sunlight.

Know the correct pruning method

In most cases, there is no need to prune the love vine, but sometimes the love vine grows too fast and the owner has to reluctantly prune it. Improper pruning will affect its growth. How you prune becomes important.

During the pruning process, we should pay attention to two principles: cut thin first and then thick, and cut long and avoid short. Cut off all the extra thin branches, leave the relatively thick ones, and cut the remaining parts as short as possible. In this way, it will grow stronger and stronger, and the leaves will become thicker and thicker.
