With the arrival of spring, many flowering plants begin to enter the vigorous growth period. Recently, many flower enthusiasts have reported that the leaves of their purple pearls are falling crazily. What is going on? This article will reveal the reasons for the falling of purple pearl leaves and provide corresponding maintenance guides.
Reasons for the purple pearl leaves falling1. Insufficient lighting
Purple pearl is a plant that likes light. If it is in a dark environment for a long time, it will lead to poor growth, and the leaves will gradually wither and fall. It is necessary to ensure that the purple pearl can receive sufficient scattered light every day.
2. Improper watering
Purple pearl has a high demand for water, but excessive watering can lead to root rot, which in turn causes the leaves to fall. Insufficient watering will also cause the leaves of purple pearl to wither. It is important to master the frequency and amount of watering to keep the soil moist but not overly wet.
3. Improper application of fertilizer
Excessive application of fertilizer or the use of fertilizer unsuitable for purple pearl can cause the plant to grow too fast, resulting in yellowing, withering, and other symptoms of the leaves. Improper fertilization can also cause soil compaction, affecting the absorption of water and nutrients by the roots. Fertilize reasonably and choose fertilizer suitable for purple pearl.
4. Invasion of diseases and pests
Purple pearl is prone to invasion by diseases and pests such as aphids and red spiders. These diseases and pests can cause spots, curling, withering, and other symptoms on the leaves, leading to a large number of leaves falling. It is necessary to prevent and treat diseases and pests in a timely manner to keep the plant healthy.
5. Uncomfortable temperature
Purple pearl has strong adaptability to temperature, but excessive temperature can cause leaves to wither and fall. Large fluctuations in temperature can also affect the growth of purple pearl. Maintain a suitable temperature and avoid too high or too low temperatures.
