What if the leaves of potted triangular plum turn yellow and fall off?

Triangular plum is a kind of flower with unique flower shape, various colors and long flowering period. it is especially suitable for spring flowers and is often cultivated at home or in the courtyard. Triangular plum is a kind of plant that likes warmth and light, so it is necessary to understand its growth habits when maintaining it. Recently, someone asked, what should I do if the leaves of triangular plums turn yellow and fall off? Why does it fail to blossom? Let's take a look at it together.

First, what if the leaves of triangular plum turn yellow and fall off?

1. Improper watering leads to yellowing and shedding of triangular plum leaves.

Novice flower growers are easy to have problems when watering, either too much, too often, or too little, both of which will lead to yellowing and shedding of triangular plum leaves. Too much watering produces stagnant water rotten roots, resulting in the root can not breathe, the plant is unable to absorb nutrients and water, resulting in yellowing leaves. Long-term lack of water leads to insufficient water intake of leaves, leaves will yellowing and falling off.

Solution: watering should be decided according to plant growth, growing season and soil wettability. The amount of water can be increased appropriately in summer and reduced in winter. The spring and autumn season decides the amount of water according to its growth period, basically once a day, not too much, and can not be watered for a long time.

2. Poor soil looseness leads to yellowing and shedding of leaves of Prunus mume.

In the cultivation of triangular plum, it is easy to ignore the basin soil problem, if the soil looseness is not good, the drainage is not good, it will lead to the root can not be breathable, can not breathe, the leaves will yellowing and fall off, serious death of the whole plant.

Solution: the growth of triangular plum needs loose, breathable, well-drained soil and sufficient base fertilizer, so when configuring basin soil, it is necessary to prepare according to these points to ensure its nutritional requirements.

3. Improper lighting causes yellowing and shedding of leaves of Prunus mume.

Triangular plum is a kind of light-loving flowers, long-term exposure in a dark environment or in summer will lead to leaves yellowing and shedding.

Solution: because the triangular plum looks good, many people choose to breed it indoors, but they do not realize that it grows better in the case of sufficient light, so keep it illuminated for 8-10 hours a day. However, the summer sun is relatively strong, can not always be exposed to the sun, noon to properly shade, the way to cauterize the leaves. In the case of lack of sunshine in winter, it is necessary to transfer to a warm room, while conditional lighting can be given, such as flashlights, lights and so on.

4. Improper fertilization leads to yellowing and shedding of triangulated plum leaves.

In the case of too much fertilizer, too thick or long-term lack of fertilizer, the leaves of triangular plum will turn yellow and fall off. The main difference is that the lack of fertilizer is that the new leaves are very light and yellow, while if the fertilizer is overfertilized, the old leaves turn yellow from the edge to the middle.

Solution: in the vigorous growth period of triangular plum (summer), we need to give enough fertilizer, in addition to the original base fertilizer, we also have to top fertilizer once a week, not too much, too thick at one time. In autumn, the amount of fertilizer can be gradually reduced, and in winter, there can be no fertilizer at all, so as not to overnourish and lead to the death of the whole plant.

Second, the reason why triangular plum does not blossom.

1. Not pruned in time

If the triangular plum is to blossom well, pruning this step is necessary. In addition to keeping the shape of the whole plant good-looking, pruning is also one of the means to promote flowering. Because many residual flowers, weak branches and leaves will also strive for nutrition with healthy plants and buds, so it is necessary to properly trim off these redundant or overdense parts and leave a few growth nodes.

2. No sufficient light was given in the early stage of flowering.

Triangular plum to achieve the conditions of flowering must have sufficient light, many people ignore this point, generally put indoors no longer take care of, it is very difficult to blossom. So in the early flowering period of a month or half a month, there is no need to guarantee about 4 hours of light, slowly you will find that your triangular plum can not only blossom on time, the color of the flowers is also very positive.

3. No use of fertilizer

As a fertilizer-loving triangular plum, if the fertilizer is not used properly, it will only grow leaves but not blossom, especially the long-term use of over-concentrated nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. And fertilizing too often leads to a large number of buds falling, usually only once a month is enough. If you want it to bloom full and colorful, you can use a little professional nutrient solution every month. You can go to the florist and ask.

To sum up, triangular plum is light-loving and cold-resistant as an ornamental flower, but special attention should be paid to watering and fertilization, otherwise the leaves are likely to yellowing, shedding, not blooming and so on.
