Why does the happiness tree always drop leaves?
Here is the content related to the green plant and flower aspects of why the happiness tree drops leaves and the methods to save the drying leaves of the happiness tree. Let's take a look together.
Many people choose to keep a potted happiness tree as a houseplant, as it symbolizes happiness and a bright future. Its leaves become greener and brighter. It is versatile and easy to care for. However, why do many people's happiness trees, especially in winter, easily experience leaf drop? Let's explore the reasons from these aspects.
Firstly, watering issues
Many potted plants have problems related to watering, especially how to care for flowers in winter? Poor indoor ventilation, keeping doors and windows closed. Some people say that the indoor temperature is relatively high, around 15 to 20 degrees, the higher the temperature, the drier the air. Therefore, it is also necessary to keep the potting soil moist frequently.
The trunk of the happiness tree is a woody plant with thick branches. It is drought-resistant and does not require too much watering. If there is poor indoor ventilation and the water cannot evaporate quickly after watering, and there is no drainage, the accumulated soil in the pot will cause root rot and leaf drop. You should only water thoroughly when the potting soil is almost dry.
Some say that the leaves are wilted, but slight wilting of the leaves will not cause a problem. As long as water is provided, it can recover. However, it is necessary to add a root stimulator when watering. Adding more mycostatic can prevent root rot and also promote root growth, ensuring that there will be no root rot in winter.
Secondly, ventilation conditions
Why does the happiness tree always drop leaves?
The most important factor in growing flowers indoors is ventilation. Many people may overlook this. In fact, with good ventilation, it is very easy to grow flowers. If the ventilation is poor, the soil will not dry and wet quickly after watering, and it will evaporate slowly, leading to root suffocation and accumulation, which can cause the happiness tree to drop leaves.
If the roots rot, the leaves will also turn black, with dry tips and yellow leaves, which is also caused by poor ventilation. If there is poor indoor ventilation, you can use an electric fan to blow, for example, many people use an electric fan on the balcony when growing succulents, and blow after watering to ensure proper ventilation and keep the potting soil not too wet.
Thirdly, soil issues
Many people cannot grow flowers well indoors, and this is also related to the soil. Since the happiness trees we buy at the flower shops are mostly planted in garden soil, this type of soil is very suitable for greenhouses. However, it is not suitable for growing flowers at home. Over time, the garden soil can become very hard, preventing water from penetrating and the roots from growing properly, which can easily lead to root rot and dry roots.
