Why did the tiger thorn plum lose its leaves?

Tiger thorn plum is still very common in our daily life. The ornamental value of tiger thorn plum is relatively high, so it is also welcomed by many people. Prunus angustifolia is mainly as a potted plant, which is widely distributed in our country. However, in the cultivation of tiger prunes, there are often a lot of problems, among which the loss of leaves is one of them. So why did the tiger thorn plum lose its leaves? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Soil discomfort

The growth of Chimonanthus przewalskii has strict requirements on the soil. Chimonanthus likes to grow in soft and fertile soil. If the soil is too barren and hardened, it is very disadvantageous to the growth of Prunus mume. It will affect the breathing of the root of Prunus mume, and the infiltration of water will be blocked, resulting in the loss of leaves due to lack of fertilizer and water. Therefore, when we breed tiger thorn plum, we should pay attention to loosen the soil regularly, and it is best to change the basin every year. To create a good soil environment for the growth of Prunus mume.

2. Overwatering

The drought tolerance of Chimonanthus angustifolia is still relatively strong, so the demand for water in the growth process is not very large. Therefore, we must pay attention to control the amount of watering, if too much watering leads to stagnant water in the soil, then it will seriously affect the growth of Prunus tomentosa. The roots are easy to be flooded, which hinders the respiration and nutrient absorption of the roots, and the leaves will also fall off. Therefore, usually we must pay attention not to water too much, if too much watering, then we should pay attention to do a good job of drainage, strengthen ventilation, promote water evaporation as soon as possible.

3. Lack of light

Chimonanthus angustifolia likes to grow in an environment with sufficient light. A sufficient light environment is very beneficial to the growth of Prunus mume, and it can also effectively increase the flowering quantity of Prunus mume. Therefore, if the plum grows in a dark and weak light environment for a long time, the plant can not accept too much light. Then it is also the phenomenon of the loss of leaves in the knife and tiger plum, resulting in a decline in the ornamental value of tiger plum. Therefore, when the tiger thorn plum is growing, it should be placed in the sunny place to ensure that the tiger thorn plum is fully exposed to light. However, in the summer strong light environment, we still need to do a good job of shading to prevent the leaves from sunburn caused by the strong light.

4. The temperature is too low

Chimonanthus przewalskii has poor cold resistance because it is not suitable to grow in a low temperature environment. Therefore, low temperature is also one of the main reasons for the loss of leaves of Prunus mume, especially in winter. Therefore, before the beginning of winter, we need to create a warm environment for tiger prunes to ensure that the temperature is not lower than zero. If the temperature can not be effectively controlled, then it should be wrapped in a bag, which can also achieve the purpose of heat preservation, so we must pay more attention to it.

The above is a brief introduction to how the leaves of the tiger prickly plum are lost. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
