The Happiness Tree is loved by many houseplant lovers for its beautiful meaning and luxuriant attitude, but when these leaves that symbolize happiness leave the branches one after another, it undoubtedly brings a lot of confusion and worry to the conservationists. So why does the Tree of Happiness lose its leaves, and what can be done to bring your Tree of Happiness back to life?
Temperature discomfort: The Happiness Tree prefers a warm and humid environmentToo low or too highmay cause its leaves to fall. In the low temperature environment, the happy tree is susceptible to frost damage; High temperatures, on the other hand, cause water to be lost too quickly, and plants are prone to dehydration.
Light intensity: Although the tree can grow in semi-shade, the lack of sufficient light for a long time can also cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Lack of lightThis will weaken photosynthesis and nutrient accumulation, eventually leading to defoliation.
Humidity control: Excessive dry indoor air is also an important reason for the loss of leaves in the Happy Tree. Maintaining the right humidity can help reduce water evaporation, especially in heated or air-conditioned rooms, and spray it regularly to prevent leaves from falling off due to lack of water.
Improper watering: The Happiness Tree is more sensitive to the need for waterOverwatering or prolonged droughtcan cause its leaves to fall off. Too much water can lead to anoxic rot of the root system, while lack of water will hinder the overall water metabolism of the plant.
Fertilization misunderstandingsExcessive or frequent fertilization is often counterproductive, especially the use of fertilizer with too high concentration or insufficient dilution, which is easy to burn the root system, causing the happy tree to be unable to absorb water and nutrients normally, and then the phenomenon of leaf loss.
Space is limitedIf the potting soil is too small or the plants are too dense, it will limit the development of its root system, indirectly affect the health of the aboveground parts, and cause defoliation.
Soil problems: Poorly drained soil is prone to water accumulation, resulting in root damage; Poor soils, on the other hand, do not provide sufficient nutrients. It is important to choose a soil that is loose, airy and rich in organic matter, and regular replacement of the soil can also help to improve the situation.
Bacterial infections: Common diseases of the happy tree, such as anthracnose and leaf spot, will cause leaf lesions until they fall off. The key is to detect the disease in time and control the spread of the disease by spraying fungicides.
Pest infestation: Aphids, red spiders and other pests suck the sap of the happy tree, damaging the leaf structure, and in severe cases, it will also cause a large number of defoliation. It is necessary to conduct regular inspections and use biological pesticides or chemicals for control.
Monitor environmental conditions: Keep the indoor temperature between 15 and 30, ensure sufficient sunlight but avoid direct sunlight, pay attention to adjust the indoor humidity, and provide a microclimate suitable for the growth of the happy tree.
Refined irrigation and fertilization: Follow the principle of "see dry and wet" watering to ensure that the soil is slightly wet but not waterlogged; Fertilization should be mainly applied diligently with thin fertilizer, and the growth period in spring and autumn can be increased appropriately.
Routine inspection and maintenance: Regularly check the growth status of the happy tree, and adjust the maintenance measures in time once abnormalities are found. Prune dead branches and leaves in a timely manner to promote ventilation and light transmission inside the plant.
The reasons why the Happy Tree loses its leaves are mostly due to problems in the environment, management, and pests and diseases. As long as you carefully observe and manage scientifically, you can find the root cause and prescribe the right medicine, so that your happiness tree will be rejuvenated and add a lasting green happiness to your life. Remember, every leaf carries the rhythm of life, and you can only make happiness last forever if you take care of it with your heart!
