With the growing interest in indoor plants, Mingyue, as a shade-tolerant and easy-to-care-for plant, has gained popularity in many households. Some enthusiasts have noticed that the leaves of Mingyue start to dry and fall, which undoubtedly brings distress to their experience of caring for flowers. This article will analyze the causes of the drying and falling of leaves on Mingyue and provide corresponding care suggestions.
Reasons for the drying and falling of leaves on Mingyue1. Improper watering
Watering is a basic requirement for plant growth, but too much or too little water can cause the leaves of Mingyue to dry. Excessive watering can lead to oxygen deficiency in the roots, causing root rot; insufficient watering can cause the leaves to lose water and dry.
2. Insufficient light
Although Mingyue is shade-tolerant, long-term exposure to dark environments can also cause leaves to dry. This is because plants need to synthesize nutrients through photosynthesis, and lack of light can lead to slow growth and gradual drying of leaves.
3. Low air humidity
Mingyue prefers a humid air environment. If the air humidity is low, the leaves are prone to water loss, leading to drying.
4. Pest and disease attacks
Mingyue is susceptible to attacks by pests such as aphids and spider mites. These pests absorb nutrients from the plant, causing the leaves to dry.
5. Insufficient nutrients
Long-term lack of fertilization or improper fertilization can lead to insufficient nutrients in Mingyue, resulting in dried leaves.
Care suggestions for the drying and falling of leaves on Mingyue1. Control watering
Based on the growth habits of Mingyue, keep the soil slightly moist. When watering, ensure that the water is evenly distributed in the soil, avoiding waterlogging.
2. Appropriate increase in light
Place Mingyue in a place with ample scattered light, ensuring 3-4 hours of sunlight every day. During high-temperature periods in summer, provide appropriate shading.
3. Increase air humidity
Water the area around Mingyue or use a humidifier to keep the air humidity between 40%-60%.
4. Timely pest and disease control
Regularly inspect Mingyue and deal with pests and diseases promptly. Use pesticides and fungicides for prevention and treatment.
5. Reasonable fertilization
In the period of vigorous growth, apply a compound fertilizer once a month to supplement nutrients. When fertilizing, be careful not to let the fertilizer come into contact with the leaves.
The problem of drying and falling leaves on Mingyue is often caused by factors such as improper watering, insufficient light, low air humidity, pest and disease attacks, and insufficient nutrients. By following the above care suggestions, your Mingyue will gradually recover its vitality and bloom beautiful flowers. Caring for plants is also a spiritual enjoyment, and I hope every enthusiast can find their own joy in the process of caring for flowers.
