As a foliage plant that implies auspiciousness and attracts fortune, the fortune tree is deeply loved by people. However, during the maintenance process, we often encounter the problem of yellowing, drying up, and falling off the leaves of the fortune tree. Let's take a look at the causes and solutions to the problems with the leaves of the fortune tree.
1.Lack of light: Fortune trees prefer a sunny environment, and if left in a shady place for a long time, it will cause photosynthesis to weaken, and the leaves will not be able to absorb nutrients adequately, resulting in yellowing, drying, and falling out. The solution is to move the fortune tree to a sunny location, making sure to receive enough scattered light each day.
2.Too much or too little watering: Fortune trees have a higher water demand, but too much watering can lead to water accumulation in the roots, triggering root rot, which in turn causes the leaves to turn yellow, dry up, and fall off. On the contrary, too little watering will cause the Fortune Tree to starve of water, and the leaves will lose water and wilt. The solution is to water the soil in a moderate amount according to the growth of the fortune tree and the humidity of the environment, keeping the soil moist but not overwaterlogging.
3.Uncomfortable temperature: Fortune trees are suitable for growing in an environment of 15 to 25 years, if the ambient temperature is too high or too low, it will cause the growth of fortune trees to be stunted, and the leaves will turn yellow, dry and fall off. The solution is to place the fortune tree in a location with a suitable temperature, avoiding exposure to the sun and cold.
4.Insufficient fertilizer: The Fortune Tree needs sufficient nutrients during the growth process, and if the fertilizer is insufficient, it will cause the Fortune Tree to be unable to absorb enough nutrients, and the leaves will turn yellow, dry up, and fall off. The solution is to apply an appropriate amount of special fertilizer for foliage plants during the vigorous growth period of the fortune tree to ensure the nutrients required for its growth.
5.Pests and diseases: Fortune trees may be infested with pests and diseases, such as leaf spot, anthracnose and aphids, during the maintenance process. These pests and diseases can damage the leaves of the Fortune Tree, causing them to turn yellow, dry up, and fall off. The solution is to detect pests and diseases in time and take corresponding control measures, such as spraying insecticides, fungicides, etc.
Yellowing, drying, and falling leaves of the fortune tree can be caused by a variety of reasons. In the process of maintenance, we need to analyze the specific situation and take corresponding solutions to ensure the healthy growth of the fortune tree.
