Is it normal for the Happy Tree to shed leaves in winter?
Let me tell you about whether it is normal for the Happy Tree to shed leaves in winter and some tips on caring for the Happy Tree, an introduction to green plants and flowers. Please see the detailed introduction below.
Key point: The Happy Tree is a shade-tolerant plant, often kept as an indoor plant. It prefers a warm and humid environment, dislikes cold and direct high-temperature sunlight. It grows vigorously in summer and autumn and can be supplemented with some fertilizer to promote growth. In winter, when it is cold and needs to survive, it is important to keep it warm and avoid frostbite and leaf drop.
Let's look at the pictures provided by netizens:
The above picture shows a potted Happy Tree cared for by a netizen. You can see that the crown of this Happy Tree is beautiful, but indeed the lower leaves are yellowing and withering. There is a serious loss of leaves, and many fallen leaves can be seen on the soil surface. Looking at the condition of the soil, it feels too moist, which is clearly a problem of waterlogging and root rot caused by excessive watering.
After entering winter, the Happy Tree does not require much water. Normal maintenance only requires watering some life-sustaining water. The netizen's Happy Tree has been watered too much, making the soil too moist. Coupled with low temperatures and slow evaporation of water, it is easy to cause waterlogging in the roots, leading to yellowing and falling of the lower leaves.
Why does the Happy Tree shed leaves in winter? Be a bit lazy and don't ignore two key points:
1. Control the amount of watering
In winter, the Happy Tree mainly needs to be a bit lazy and control the amount of watering. Each time you water, you should wait for the soil to dry completely before watering, and only need to water some moist water, not too thorough, as it can easily lead to excessive moisture at the bottom of the pot and cause root rot. Of course, you can occasionally spray some water on the branches and leaves of the Happy Tree to maintain humidity and avoid excessive dryness.
2. Temperature
The Happy Tree is susceptible to the cold in winter. It can safely survive at temperatures above 10 degrees. If the temperature drops below 5 degrees, it is recommended to take good insulation measures. Of course, generally, indoor maintenance is not a problem. In a floor-heated room, it is recommended not to let the pot and the floor touch directly, as there is a risk of being dried out.
The above is a detailed explanation of whether it is normal for the Happy Tree to shed leaves in winter and some tips on caring for the Happy Tree. I hope this article can provide you with some help in green plant management!
