What to do if coral bean loses leaves

Reasons why coral beans drop leaves

temperature

The "hometown" of coral beans is the tropical regions of Asia and America. The common characteristics of these two places are sufficient sunshine all year round and a very mild climate. Therefore, when coral beans are placed in a low or even cold environment, it is inevitable that the leaves will be frostbitten, turn yellow, and fall off. To prevent the plant from freezing to death due to low temperatures, it should be kept in a warm and sunny room in winter.

humidity

In addition to environmental factors, this plant also has requirements for the soil it uses - it is best to choose loose soil with good air circulation. In winter, we will use water frequently to maintain the moisture of the soil, but excessive watering will cause the roots of the coral beans to rot, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow or even fall off. Therefore, friends who grow coral beans should pay attention to the amount of water each time and the frequency of watering. Occasional soil scarification helps the soil drain.

Tips for growing coral beans

1. Apply fertilizer appropriately. Fertilization helps the growth of the plant. It is advisable to apply liquid fertilizer to coral beans once or twice a month.

2. Do not water frequently in winter. You can wait until the soil surface is completely dry before watering, but it is not advisable to water too much, as the roots of the coral beans cannot be soaked in water.

3. Try to keep the coral bean leaves free of dust.

4. You can change the pot every three to four months. Pay attention to the choice of soil when changing the pot.

5. Friends who grow coral beans in the north can move the plants to a warm and well-lit room before the "Frost Descent", which can effectively prevent fruit falling.

6. The branches of coral beans are relatively lush. When weather conditions are good, you can properly trim the messy branches.

Don’t think that it is normal for the coral beans you grow to lose leaves. Even in the cold winter, coral beans should not lose leaves, but if they do in this case, it means they are not well cared for. That is, the growth environment temperature is too low or it is caused by excessive watering.
