African Jasmine dropping leaves
A brief knowledge of green plants, introducing the introduction of African Jasmine in the Flower Clinic. The phenomenon of African Jasmine dropping leaves is as follows:
African Jasmine is a medium-sized ornamental leaf plant. Once the maintenance and management of African Jasmine is improper, the leaves tend to turn yellow and fall off, which not only affects the appearance but also easily dirties the environment. To ensure the healthy growth of African Jasmine, prevent yellowing and leaf dropping, it is important to meet the living environment of African Jasmine. When yellowing and leaf dropping occur, promptly identify the causes and make corrections. There are many reasons for African Jasmine dropping leaves, including soil replacement, unreasonable watering, inappropriate lighting, low-temperature damage, or occurrence of diseases and pests, which require analysis.
1. Soil replacement reasons: The pot soil of African Jasmine盆栽 should be replaced once every one to two years. After replacing the soil, the original root system cannot support the water consumption of the upper leaves, so the plant will definitely discard some evaporative leaves. It could also be a lack of certain trace elements, but it's unlikely.
2. Watering reasons: Excessive or insufficient watering will affect the growth of African Jasmine, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. When the pot soil is too dry, the root system is insufficient in water supply, failing to meet the needs of the plant, resulting in leaf water deficiency and dropping; when the pot soil is too wet, it affects the root respiration, and in severe cases, it can cause root rot, leading to the inability of nutrients to reach the leaves and subsequent leaf drop.
3. Low-temperature reasons: African Jasmine is a tropical plant that requires a higher growth temperature. When the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, it will stop growing, and the leaves are prone to fall.
4. Lighting reasons: African Jasmine enjoys light but avoids strong sunlight. It requires sufficient diffused light during growth or should be placed near a window. It should not be too dark, otherwise, it will cause the leaves to lose their green color, turn yellow, or fall off.
5. Diseases and pests: Some diseases and pests can also cause the leaves of African Jasmine to turn yellow or fall off.
6. Due to changes in the growth environment, it takes some time to adapt. Also, attention should be paid to the quality of the soil in the pot. Some unscrupulous flower traders may use poor-quality soil during transplantation or damage the plant roots due to improper handling. In daily maintenance, a certain level of humidity and lighting should be maintained.
7. Lack of various fertilizers: The plant is weak, the branches are thin and hard, the leaves and flowers are small. The leaf color changes from dark green in old leaves to light green in new leaves, then to red-purple, and finally withers and falls off, and in severe cases, the whole plant loses its green color.
When cultivating African Jasmine, attention should be paid to its water requirements. The soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged. Watering in spring and autumn should maintain the moisture of the pot soil, and prevent water accumulation during the plum rain season. In the hot summer, water should be sprinkled twice a day, morning and afternoon, to increase humidity and reduce temperature. In winter, it is advisable to keep the pot soil slightly moist and sprinkle water on the leaves around noon when the temperature is relatively higher; maintain a good temperature and ventilation condition indoors; place the African Jasmine盆景 where it can be exposed to the sun and pay attention to shading when sunlight is intense; in northern regions, to prevent leaf yellowing, add 0.2% ferrous sulfate to the fertilizer during the growing season. When planting, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied, and in the late autumn, apply cake fertilizer around the root system, 0.5 to 1 kilogram per plant; also pay attention to the prevention and control of common diseases and pests of African Jasmine.
The above is a specific introduction to the phenomenon of African Jasmine dropping leaves for netizens' reference.
