What if African jasmine loses its leaves?

Not long ago, the pro-agriculture network introduced to you the breeding methods of African jasmine, and many people told us that their own African jasmine had lost its leaves when it was raised. African jasmine itself can be both a flowering plant and a foliage plant. The loss of leaves is bound to affect the ornamental value of African jasmine. In addition, the loss of leaves is also a response to the unhealthy growth of plants. If it is not dealt with in time, it is likely to lead to more serious consequences. Below, the pro-agricultural network will answer the question of how to do African jasmine leaves.

I. the reason for the loss of leaves of African jasmine

In order to understand the treatment of African jasmine falling leaves, we must first know why African jasmine leaves fall. Here, the pro-agriculture network summarizes five reasons, including the effects of soil, moisture, temperature, light, and diseases and insect pests. Let's take a look at it in detail.

1. Soil

African jasmine is not suitable to change soil frequently, usually if it is potted African jasmine, we have to change the pot every 1 to 2 years. If African jasmine grows healthily in the original pot, but leaves fall after changing the soil, this is because after changing the soil, the root system can not bear the water consumption of all the leaves, so some of the leaves will be abandoned. There is also a situation that generally does not occur, that is, the lack of certain trace elements in the soil, resulting in poor plant growth and fallen leaves.

two。 Watering

Too much or too little watering will affect the growth of African jasmine, causing the leaves of African jasmine to turn yellow and fall off. When the basin soil is too dry, the root water supply is insufficient to meet the needs of the plant, so that the leaves fall off due to lack of water; if the basin soil is too wet, it will affect the respiration of the root system, and seriously cause the rotten roots of the plant, and the leaves will wither if the nutrients are not supplied.

3. Temperature

African jasmine is a tropical plant, which needs a higher growth temperature. when the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, it will stop growing and its leaves are easy to fall. If the plant is not moved indoors in time in winter, the leaves will fall if it suffers from frost.

4. Sunshine

African jasmine likes the sun, but avoid strong light exposure, growth requires sufficient scattered light, suitable for the position near the window, should not be too dark, otherwise lead to leaf loss of green yellowing or shedding.

5. Diseases and insect pests

African jasmine conservation environment is not suitable, there will be diseases and insect pests, leaf spot, shell insects and so on will cause fallen leaves, we should pay attention to timely treatment.

Second, how to treat African jasmine with lost leaves

Now that we know the reason why African jasmine lost its leaves, let's take a look at the treatment of African jasmine falling leaves. In order to save the African jasmine from losing its leaves, there are mainly eight words: "cut short branches and urge new leaves". Let's take a look at the specific methods of operation.

two。 After May Day, the plant was first heavily truncated, leaving 2-3 bud holes in the base of the surrounding branches, all the rest were cut off, and none of the leaves were left.

3. Change the basin immediately after a short cut, apply sufficient bottom fertilizer, and then fully water it many times until a large number of new buds appear.

4. Keep it in a cool and ventilated place, pay attention to observation, prevent insects and diseases, and protect buds is very important.

5. After the buds increase gradually, pay attention to the planned choice, grow according to the expected plant type, and cut off the dry branches at any time.

6. After a short cut 3 months to gradually see the sun, water should be sufficient, but not waterlogging, pay attention to maintenance.

The above are the reasons and treatment methods of African jasmine leaves that pro-agricultural network has sorted out for you. Have you mastered them?
