Reasons and solutions for Milan's leaf shedding

Milan , also known as Milan, is favored by flower lovers for its evergreen nature and fragrant small flowers. Although the flowers are small and shaped like millet grains, they have a strong fragrance and can add a touch of freshness to the home environment. However, when caring for Milan at home, you may encounter the problem of large-scale leaf shedding. Let’s learn together about the reasons and solutions for Milan’s leaf shedding.

1. Improper watering

Excessive watering may cause root rot in the Milan flower, and the roots will not be able to breathe normally, causing the leaves to dry up and fall off. Insufficient watering will cause the roots to die. If the plant is suddenly watered too deeply, the leaves may fall off in large numbers and the plant may die. The correct way to water is to adopt the "water when dry and water when wet" principle. Wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering thoroughly. Generally, water thoroughly every two days.

2. Improper fertilization

Milan flowers like fertilizer, but they need to be decomposed fertilizers . Raw fertilizers will cause root burns and then leaves fall off. During the growth period, insufficient fertilizer supply can also cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Fertilization should be based on the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application". Top dressing should begin in spring, once every 10 days. Superphosphate can be added in an appropriate amount to promote growth.

3. Improper lighting

Milan loves light and should be placed in a bright, diffuse light environment. If there is insufficient light indoors, it will affect its growth and cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Make sure the room is well ventilated so that the Milan flower can receive scattered light and sunlight in the morning and evening.

4. Improper temperature

Milan prefers a warm and humid environment, and the suitable growth temperature is 20-25 degrees Celsius. If the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius in winter, it may cause frost damage, causing the leaves to turn yellow or fall off. To prevent frost damage, you should take good warming measures in winter to keep the environment warm.

5. Disease problems

Leaf spot disease or invasion of insect pests such as scale insects and red spider mites can also cause the leaves of Milan to turn yellow and fall off. Control measures include using a clarified solution of wood ash and superphosphate, spraying the leaves once every half a month to prevent the disease.

In short, as long as you care for and manage it carefully, you can effectively reduce the problem of Milan leaves falling off and keep it in a healthy growth state.
