Jade Plant is a common potted plant. Its leaves are vibrant green and lush, making it a favorite among many plant lovers. However, sometimes we find that the leaves of the Jade Plant are falling off, which is very distressing. What exactly causes the Jade Plant to lose its leaves? How should it be cared for? Next, this article will answer these questions one by one.
Soil is too wet
If the Jade Plant is in overly moist soil for a long time, its roots will be affected, leading to insufficient water supply, which in turn causes leaf drop. We need to control the frequency and amount of watering to avoid overwatering.
Soil lacks nutrients
If the Jade Plant is in soil lacking nutrients for a long time, its growth will be restricted, leading to leaf drop. We need to fertilize it at the right time to replenish sufficient nutrients.
Temperature is too low or too high
If the Jade Plant is in an environment with temperatures that are too low or too high for a long time, its growth will be restricted, leading to leaf drop. We need to maintain a suitable temperature environment, avoiding extremes.
Insufficient sunlight
If the Jade Plant is in an environment with insufficient sunlight for a long time, its growth will be restricted, leading to leaf drop. We need to place it in a well-lit location to ensure adequate sunlight exposure.
Poor air circulation
If the Jade Plant is in an environment with poor air circulation for a long time, its growth will be restricted, leading to leaf drop. We need to ensure good air circulation indoors and avoid overly confined spaces.
Impact of pests and diseases
If the Jade Plant is affected by pests and diseases, its growth will be restricted, leading to leaf drop. We need to promptly prevent and treat pests and diseases.
Poor quality potting soil
If the potting soil for the Jade Plant is of poor quality, its growth will be restricted, leading to leaf drop. We need to use high-quality potting soil to ensure the quality of its growing environment.
Unsuitable growing environment
If the growing environment for the Jade Plant is unsuitable, its growth will be restricted, leading to leaf drop. We need to choose a suitable growing environment to ensure the quality of its living conditions.
Prune in a timely manner
If the branches and leaves of the Jade Plant grow too densely, it will affect air circulation and light exposure, leading to leaf drop. We need to prune it in a timely manner to maintain an appropriate density of its foliage.
Water moderately
Watering moderately is key to the growth of the Jade Plant; too much or too little will affect its growth. We need to pay attention to watering moderately and avoid overwatering.
Appropriate fertilization
Appropriate fertilization is also key to the growth of the Jade Plant; too much or too little will affect its growth. We need to choose the right fertilizer to supplement the nutrients it needs for growth.
Suitable temperature
A suitable temperature is also key to the growth of the Jade Plant; too low or too high will affect its growth. We need to maintain a suitable temperature environment, avoiding extremes.
Adequate sunlight
Adequate sunlight is key to the growth of the Jade Plant; sufficient sunlight exposure can promote its growth and development. We need to place it in a well-lit location to ensure adequate sunlight exposure.
Air circulation
Air circulation is key to the growth of the Jade Plant; sufficient air circulation can promote its growth and development. We need to ensure good air circulation indoors and avoid overly confined spaces.
The leaf drop of a Jade Plant is caused by a variety of factors, and we need to analyze and handle it comprehensively based on the specific situation. At the same time, moderate watering, appropriate fertilization, suitable temperature, adequate sunlight, and air circulation are also key to the growth of the Jade Plant. Only by scientifically and reasonably caring for it can the Jade Plant grow healthily and accompany us for a long time.
