What if the leaves of Prunus mume turn yellow?

I. seasonal factors

1. Autumn

At the end of autumn, when the plum is in full bloom, it is also about to enter the dormancy period in winter, so it is normal to have yellow leaves. Even if the leaves fall out, new leaves will sprout again in spring.

2. Winter

In areas where the winter temperature is below 10 degrees, the old leaves will fall off, leaving only the top young leaves; when the temperature is lower, the leaves will all dry up and fall off.

3. Because winter is the florescence of Prunus mume, in order to blossom more plants, we should keep the potted soil slightly moist, but this will also accelerate the withering and shedding of the leaves. In the flowering period, the amount of direct sunlight of tiger thorn plum should be increased.

4. If you pay more attention to the preservation of the leaves of the plant, it is recommended to put the plant in a place where the indoor temperature is higher than 15 degrees in winter, less watering, let the basin soil as dry as possible; do not fertilize. In this way, the growth of the plant slows down and the leaves will be relatively stable in the dormant state. However, doing so will affect the quality of flowering.

Second, growth factors

In fact, tiger thorn plum is very leather and solid, you can comply with its natural growth law, in autumn and winter, let it natural yellow leaves, fallen leaves, blossom as much as possible. When it is warm next spring, it will be more luxuriant.

4. Physiological leaf loss
