Sharing knowledge about the reasons for banyan tree leaf drop and the solutions in the field of green plants and flowers. Please see the detailed introduction below.
1. Low temperature: Move the banyan tree to an indoor area with a temperature above 5 degrees in winter. 2. Improper lighting: Place the banyan tree in a brightly lit environment and take shading measures in summer. 3.

Why Do Banyan Trees Drop Leaves?
1. -- Low Temperature --
Banyan trees thrive in warm environments. If the temperature is below 0 degrees when cultivating banyan trees, it can cause the plant to freeze and result in leaf drop. It is necessary to move the banyan tree to an indoor area with a temperature above 5 degrees before winter to maintain normal growth.
2. -- Improper Lighting --
Banyan trees enjoy sunlight but do not tolerate direct strong sunlight. If the lighting is too strong, it can cause the plant to get sunburned and drop leaves. If there is insufficient light, the banyan tree will not be able to perform photosynthesis adequately. It is best to place the banyan tree in a sunny location and take shading measures in summer.
3. -- Overwatering --
Banyan trees will drop leaves in an overly humid environment. It is necessary to control the watering frequency when cultivating banyan trees. It is best to water only when the soil surface is completely dry, keeping the soil slightly moist. And if overwatered, immediately move the banyan tree to a well-ventilated and dry environment.
4. -- Unsuitable Soil --
If the potting soil is not changed for a long time when cultivating banyan trees, it can lead to soil compaction and stiffness, causing poor root respiration and leaf drop. It is necessary to change the potting soil for the banyan tree every 1-2 years and cut off all decayed and blackened roots during the soil change.
