Why is the lipstick spider plant shedding leaves? What should I do?

1. The pot soil is not suitable

1. Reason: Lipstick Chlorophytum likes loose and soft flower soil with good permeability. If the soil used to grow it has poor drainage or air permeability, it will hinder the development of its root system. In severe cases, it can cause its roots to rot, which in turn can cause its leaves to fall off.

2. Treatment measures: At this time, you need to dig the lipstick spider plant out of the original soil. Then check its root system and use scissors to cut off rotten and deteriorated roots. After that, disinfect it and plant it in new soil with good permeability.

2. Excessive fertilization

1. Reason: If too much fertilizer is applied during maintenance, or too high a concentration of fertilizer is applied to it, it may cause a burden on its root system. In severe cases, it will burn its root system, causing it to absorb nutrients at a lower rate and then cause leaves to fall off.

2. Treatment measures: If the situation is not too serious, it can be solved by flushing the soil with clean water to wash away the fertilizer. When the situation is serious, it is necessary to remove the plant from the pot, cut off the burned roots, replant it with loose soil, and stop fertilizing for a period of time.

3. Temperature is too low

1. Reason: Its cold resistance is not very strong. If it is placed in a too cold place during cultivation, it will freeze and have problems with leaf fall.

2. Treatment measures: At this time, as long as the plant is placed in a location above 12℃, the problem of leaf falling can be alleviated.
