How to lose the leaves in the maintenance process of potted golden branches and jade leaves?

Portulaca oleifera, the scientific name of Portulaca oleracea, is a perennial evergreen fleshy shrub of Portulaca oleraceae. the golden branch and jade leaves planted on the ground can grow up to 4 meters tall, which is a giant compared with our usual potted plants. The old stem of golden branch and jade leaf is vigorous and simple, the leaf is small and exquisite, the shape is shiny, or complicated and colorful, or simple and elegant, maintenance is also relatively simple, deeply loved by flower friends. How do potted golden branches and jade leaves lose their leaves?

First, the reasons for the loss of leaves from potted golden branches and jade leaves

1. Watering leads to

Too much watering causes the root system to shrink, so the leaves will fall off. Most of the golden branches and jade leaf potted plants we bought from the market are very shallow ornamental pots, so most people take it for granted that more water should be replenished, which is a misunderstanding. The rhizome of the golden branch and jade leaf is fleshy, which determines its strong water storage capacity, but if it is in a humid environment for a long time, it will breed bacteria to cause root fester, and now the whole is to lose the leaves, and then the stem withered and contracted, and finally died.

2. Improper light and temperature

Jinzhi Yuye likes a warm environment, can not bear cold and high temperature, and the suitable temperature for growth ranges from 15 ℃ to 26 ℃. If you do not do anti-freezing treatment in winter, it is easy to suffer frost damage, resulting in fallen leaves and even death. High temperatures in summer will cause burns to the leaves, dormancy will occur when it exceeds 30 ℃, and death risk will occur if it exceeds 35 ℃. Therefore, summer to shade, do not expose to the sun, it is best to put in a ventilated astigmatism place maintenance, watering should be carried out in the morning and evening. Golden branches and jade leaves can not be maintained in a dark environment for a long time, and the frequent lack of light is also one of the reasons for the fallen leaves.

3. The branches and leaves are too dense

Some flower friends say that it is a normal phenomenon that the branches and leaves are too dense and fall leaves, but it is not. In the short term, the leaves of the plant will fall because of the poor light and air permeability, but in the long run, it will affect the growth of the plant.

4. Less fertilizer

In addition to the effect of light on the accumulation of nutrients, the amount of fertilization also has a certain effect. In the process of growth, too little fertilization, lack of nutrients; too much fertilization, resulting in fertilizer damage. Improper fertilization, how to maintain the phenomenon of fallen leaves will appear.

Second, the solution to the loss of leaves in potted plants.

1. Control the watering frequency: in spring and autumn, during the growing period of golden branches and jade leaves, you can water once every two or three days; in summer, you can appropriately increase the frequency, but strengthen ventilation to avoid necrosis caused by excessive humidity; the temperature is low in winter and indoor maintenance in the north can be watered once a week according to the degree of dryness and wetness of the soil, not rigidly for a few days.

There is another note about watering, that is, if stagnant water is found during watering (watering is impermeable), then you should consider turning the basin. Because this is caused by two reasons, on the one hand, it may be that there are too many whisker roots in the root, and the basin is too small, resulting in blockage of sewer holes and stagnant water; on the other hand, it may be that the matrix used by the seller to serve the basin is impervious. The above two aspects will cause damage to the roots of golden branches and jade leaves. It is suggested that the basin and soil should be turned as soon as possible. When turning the basin, remove the original soil of 1 prime 2 to 1 / 3, and replant it with new culture soil. The soil should be mixed with loose and breathable humus, or mixed with vermiculite and humus, and the roots should be pruned properly, cutting off weak branches and other branches that affect the shape of the tree, and cutting off part of the root system. The size of the selection basin should be adapted to the golden branch and jade leaf crown.

2. in terms of lighting: let it have many pieces of warm and soft sunlight to avoid exposure to the sun to avoid cold.

3. In terms of nutrient supplement: you can apply fertilizer with diluted rotten cake fertilizer or inorganic fertilizer every half a month during the growing period, keeping in mind that the concentration should be low.
