With the continuous development of technology, people are becoming more and more interested in various phenomena in nature. Among many plants, the white lotus is loved by many people for its elegant posture and pure petals and has become a favorite ornamental plant. Recently, many flower friends have found that their white lotus plants have leaves falling off, which has caused confusion to many people. This article will reveal the reasons for the leaves falling off the white lotus and how to avoid this phenomenon.
Reasons for the leaves of white lotus falling off1. Insufficient light
The white lotus has high requirements for light. If it is in a dark environment for a long time, it will lead to poor growth, yellowing and falling of leaves. During maintenance, it is necessary to ensure that the white lotus can receive sufficient scattered light.
2. Improper water management
The white lotus likes a humid environment but dislikes waterlogging. If watered too much, it will lead to root hypoxia, resulting in yellowing and falling of leaves. Watering too little will also cause leaves to dry and fall off. When watering, water should be added according to the dry and wet conditions of the soil.
3. Soil problems
The white lotus is suitable for growing in loose and well-drained soil. If the soil is too heavy, it will affect the root respiration and cause yellowing and falling of leaves. Soil diseases and pests will also affect the plant's growth and cause leaves to fall off.
4. Uncomfortable temperature
The white lotus prefers a warm environment with an optimal growth temperature of 20-30℃. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect its growth and cause leaves to fall off.
5. Insufficient nutrients
The white lotus requires sufficient nutrients during its growth. If nutrients are insufficient, it will cause yellowing and falling of leaves. During the period of vigorous growth, fertilization should be applied in time to ensure the normal growth of the plant.
How to prevent the white lotus leaves from falling off1. Water properly
Water appropriately according to the dry and wet conditions of the soil, avoid waterlogging, and reduce watering frequency in high-temperature summers to prevent root hypoxia.
2. Choose the right soil
Use loose and well-drained soil to ensure the growth of the plant.
3. Increase light appropriately
Place the white lotus in a place with sufficient scattered light and avoid long-term exposure to dark environments.
4. Control temperature
Maintain a suitable growth temperature and avoid too high or too low temperatures.
5. Fertilization
In the period of vigorous growth, fertilize in time to ensure the normal growth of the plant.
