The golden branch and jade leaf is called Portulaca oleifera, its stem is fleshy, the new branch is purplish red when the light is sufficient, and if the light is not enough, it is green, so it is of high ornamental value and is often cultivated at home as a potted plant. But in the process of breeding, there will be a lot of problems, such as falling leaves, once the falling leaves will seriously affect its ornamental, then what is the cause of the falling leaves? Let's take a look.

1. Overwatering

Excessive watering is also one of the reasons for the loss of leaves in golden branches and jade leaves, and it is also one of the more problems in such maintenance. in the process of maintenance, potting the roots with stagnant water is very likely to cause root rot and leaf loss, and in serious cases, it may cause plant death. The remedy depends on the time of the problem. if the problem occurs after watering for more than one day, then the stagnant water needs to be removed in time to increase the permeability of the soil and then be placed in a cool and ventilated place to promote its recovery. If this has happened for many days, it is necessary to dig the soil to see if there is a rotten root phenomenon. If there is a rotten root phenomenon, you need to deal with the rotten root in time, then dry the wound and put it back on the basin for maintenance.

2. Serious lack of light

If the leaves of golden branches and jade leaves are obviously small and weak during maintenance, we should pay attention to the need for timely topdressing, which can be carried out once a month with compound fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer, mainly with thin fertilizer solution, so as to avoid root damage caused by thick fertilizer.

4. Discomfort of basin soil

The basin soil has a great influence on the golden branches and jade leaves. If they grow in the soil consolidated by the soil, then the golden branches and jade leaves will fall off, which will not only affect the ornamental nature of the golden branches and jade leaves, but also cause them to lose their growth power. At this time, it is necessary to change the basin soil in time, choose fertile, loose and drained soil to cultivate, or add some pastoral soil and sandy loam soil after loosening the soil, which can alleviate this bad growth condition to a certain extent.
