What to do if the leaves of the newly planted Schefflera turn yellow and fall off?

1. What to do

It is usually caused by watering, fertilization, and sunlight, and can be solved according to the situation:

1. Watering: If too much water is applied, the soil will be wet for a long time and there will be no oxygen in the soil. The roots will not be able to breathe and some small fibrous roots will rot. If there is long-term leakage and supply exceeds demand, it will also lead to In the former situation, you can stop working immediately and loosen the soil to allow the water to seep out as quickly as possible. In the latter case, move it to a cool place and gradually increase the moisture.

2. Fertilization: Fertilizer application without considering the growth of the plants, especially excessive nitrogen fertilizer, can easily cause. If you forget to fertilize or fail to change the soil in the pot for a long time, the soil will lack nutrients and the branches and leaves will become weak. Stop the former situation immediately and increase the amount of water. In the latter case, you can replace the potting soil with new one, and apply thin fertilizer after the plant adapts.

3. Sunlight: Too strong sunlight can scorch the leaves and cause them to turn yellow. Insufficient light will cause the leaves to become thinner and yellow. In both cases, the position can be changed and placed in a place with scattered light for maintenance.

2. How to deal with the drop

For the sake of aesthetics, the fallen leaves can be removed, and then check whether the plant has been affected by pests and diseases and spray pesticides in time.
