What should I do if the pepper wood leaves turn yellow and fall?
As an evergreen shrub favored by gardening enthusiasts, the problem of yellow leaves of pepper wood often bothers conservators. When the leaves begin to turn yellow and fall off, it often indicates that the plant is in a sub-healthy state. This article will systematically analyze the five key treatment elements, from environmental regulation to daily maintenance, to help you quickly diagnose and save your beloved green plants. Analysis of core conservation elements Soil matrix improvement plan Root health is the basis for green leaves. It is recommended to use a mixed substrate with humus soil: perlite: river sand =5:3:2, and the pH value is controlled between 6.0 and 7.0. Keep 1/3 of the core soil when changing pots, and the new soil needs to be disinfected at high temperature. The top 5cm soil is replaced every spring to ensure a continuous supply of nutrients. Light intensity gradient management adopts a progressive filling strategy: 6 hours of direct light is guaranteed in spring and autumn, 50% sunshade is shaded from 10:00-15:00 in summer, and full sunshine maintenance in winter. It is recommended to place indoors within 1.5 meters of the south-facing window, and turn the flowerpot 45 degrees every 3 days to ensure uniform light reception. It is better to maintain the detection intensity of the illuminometer at 10,000 - 15,000 lux. The precise moisture control system establishes a "three-look watering method": look at the surface soil cracking by 1 cm, look at the leaves slightly curled, and look at the temperature change (halved in winter). Use the dipping basin method to supply water, replenish water every time until the overflow hole on the bottom of the basin and drain water. Let stand for 30 minutes and then drain away the accumulated water in the tray. Combined with ceramsite as a base, the drainage efficiency can be improved by 30%. Special environmental response strategy The wind protection system is constructed with a windproof net with a light transmittance of 60% on the balcony, and is activated when the wind speed exceeds level 3. Indoor placement should avoid air conditioning outlets and keep a distance of more than 1 meter from electrical equipment. Regular spraying of antitransponders can form a protective film on the leaf surface to reduce water loss. Electronic radiation isolation measures Office environment maintenance requires an electromagnetic shielding area. It is recommended to keep a safe distance of 2 meters from electronic equipment. It can be configured to form a protective belt with radiation-resistant plants such as cactus and aloe vera, and wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every week to remove electrostatically adsorbed dust.
Through the implementation of the above systematic maintenance plan, 90% of pepper yellow leaf problems can be improved within 2-3 weeks. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record daily temperature, humidity, light duration and other data, and adjust maintenance strategies in a timely manner based on plant growth status. When the germination rate of new leaves reaches 80%, the normal maintenance mode can be gradually restored.
