Many flower lovers will encounter the problem of withered leaves of Ficus auriculata, which not only affects the beauty of the plant, but may also endanger the life of the plant. This article will deeply discuss the reasons for the withered leaves of Ficus auriculata and provide corresponding maintenance methods to help you solve this problem. Reasons for drying up the leaves of Ficus figris 1. Lack of water Water is a necessity for plant growth. If Ficus figris lacks water for a long time, the leaves will dry up due to excessive water evaporation. Especially during the high temperature periods in summer, the plant evaporation will increase. If water is not replenished in time, the leaves will dry up.
2. Insufficient light and Ficus trees like to scatter light. Too much direct sunlight will burn the leaves, causing them to dry out. Insufficient light will also affect the photosynthesis of plants, causing them to grow slowly and the leaves to gradually dry out.
3. Improper application of fertilizer and excessive application of fertilizer will cause excessive soil salinity, affect the absorption of water and nutrients by plants, which will cause leaves to dry out. Uneven fertilization or too late fertilization will also cause leaves to dry out.
4. Invasion of pests and diseases by pests is another important cause of drying out of Ficus carpa leaves. Common pests and diseases include red spiders, scale insects, leaf spot diseases, etc. They absorb nutrients from the plant and gradually dry out the leaves. Treatment methods for dry leaves of Ficus figris 1. Appropriate amount of watering According to the growth habits of Ficus figris, keep the soil slightly moist. When watering, avoid water directly washing the leaves to avoid causing leaf decay. During high temperatures in summer, increase the number of watering times to keep the soil moist.
2. Properly adjust the lighting and place the fig leaf in a place with sufficient scattered light to avoid direct sunlight. In winter, the lighting time can be appropriately increased to promote plant growth.
3. Reasonable fertilization According to the growth stage and soil fertility of fig leaf, reasonable fertilizer should be applied. Spring and autumn are the best periods for fertilization. At this time, the plants are growing vigorously and need more nutrients. When fertilizing, they should be applied evenly to avoid excessive amounts.
4. Timely prevention and control of pests and diseases. Regularly inspect the leaves of Ficus figurescens. If pests and diseases are found to be treated in a timely manner, pesticides, fungicides and other drugs can be used to prevent and control. At the same time, pay attention to keeping plants ventilated to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
Dried leaves of fig leaf are a common problem during indoor flower cultivation. It is crucial to understand the causes and adopt corresponding treatment methods. Through reasonable watering, adjusting light, fertilizing and controlling pests and diseases, the dry leaves of fig leaf can be effectively solved. The problem makes your green plants full of vitality.
