As a popular potted plant, Fodu bamboo is often used to decorate homes or offices. However, many people have found that Buddha's belly bamboos lose their leaves in winter. Why is this? How to deal with it? Below we will answer them one by one.
1. Leaf loss caused by temperature changes In winter, the temperature drops sharply, and the growth of Buddha belly bamboo is greatly affected. At this time, it will lose leaves. This is not a problem caused by pests and diseases, but a natural growth law.
2. Leaf loss caused by excessive watering Buddha belly bamboo likes to be semi-dry. If watering continues in winter, it will cause the root system to be too wet, affecting the health of the plant, and thus lose leaves. Reduce the number of watering times in winter to avoid excessive watering.
3. Leaf loss caused by dry climate
The dry climate in winter can easily cause the leaves of Buddha belly bamboo to lose water, causing them to wither and fall. Maintain moderate humidity indoors and take more measures such as spraying water to moisturize.
4. Leaf loss caused by improper maintenance is a relatively difficult plant to maintain. If maintenance is ignored for a long time, it will easily lead to unhealthy plants and lose leaves. Pay attention to providing sufficient sunshine, suitable temperature and moisture to the plants in normal times.
5. Leaf loss caused by diseases and insect pests may also be attacked by diseases and insect pests, causing leaf loss. Common pests and diseases include red spiders, whiteflies, aphids, etc. When pests and diseases are discovered, they must be dealt with promptly to prevent them from further damaging the plant.
6. The root system of Buddha belly bamboo due to improper pot change is relatively sensitive. If it is not properly handled during pot change, it may easily lead to damage to the root system, resulting in loss of leaves. Pay attention to operation when replacing pot soil to avoid damaging the root system of the plant.
7. Leaf loss caused by lack of nutrients has a high demand for nutrients. If necessary nutrients are lacking during the maintenance process, it will affect the health of the plant and lose leaves. Provide appropriate amount of fertilizer to the plants in normal times.
8. Leaf loss caused by improper pruning Buddha belly bamboo is a potted plant that needs pruning. If it is not trimmed properly, the growth point of the plant will be damaged, resulting in leaf loss. Pay attention to the method and timing when pruning.
Falling leaves of Buddha belly bamboo in winter is a natural phenomenon, but there are also many human factors. Only by fully understanding these factors can we better protect the Buddha's belly bamboo and keep it in good growth condition in winter.
