Solutions for海棠 trees shedding leaves or wilted leaves:
1. Over-fertilization causing leaf drop.
Solution: When over-fertilized, stop fertilizing first, water the plant to dilute the fertilizer in the soil. Alternatively, repot the海棠 and trim the burnt roots, then plant in fresh soil.
2. Excessive watering leading to leaf drop and wilting.
Solution: Excessive watering can cause leaves to turn yellow and drop, and the stems to become thin. Place the海棠 in a well-ventilated area, place two bricks under the pot to allow accumulated water to flow out, reduce watering frequency, and prevent further waterlogging.
3. Soil acidity causing leaf wilting and drop.
Solution:海棠 prefers to grow in slightly acidic soil. When the soil is too acidic, leaves will wilt and drop. When watering, add 1-2 drops of salt-free vinegar to the water, 2-3 times a month, which can acidify the soil and restore the leaves to normal.
4. Low temperature causing leaf drop.
Solution: When the temperature is too low in winter, move the海棠 indoors promptly to avoid frost damage, leaf drop, and wilting.
5. Leaf drop in newly purchased海棠 trees.
Solution: It is normal for newly purchased海棠 trees to shed leaves. Allow the plant to adapt to its new growing environment without excessive concern.
6. Insufficient water causing leaf drop and wilting.
Solution: When the potting soil is slightly dry, water the海棠 promptly. Watering should be moderate to avoid waterlogging in the pot.
7. Insufficient sunlight causing leaf wilting and drop.
Solution:海棠 prefers to grow in sunny conditions and requires sufficient daily sunlight. In strong summer sunlight, provide shade for the海棠 to avoid leaf burn.
8. Pests and diseases causing leaf wilting and drop.
Solution: Observe the condition of the海棠 tree and when pests or diseases occur, analyze the cause and use appropriate medication.
9. Oxygen deficiency in the plant causing leaf wilting and drop.
Solution: Place the海棠 in a well-ventilated area, such as a balcony or outdoors.
10. Overgrown roots and small pot causing leaf wilting and drop.
Solution: When the plant's roots are too large and the pot too small, the roots do not get a good growing environment, leading to leaf wilting and drop. In this case, repot the海棠 to provide sufficient growing space for its roots.
