Why does the goldfish plant lose its leaves and how to remedy it

1. Reasons for leaf drop

1. The light is too strong: it likes shade and cannot tolerate the sun. It can only be exposed to scattered light occasionally. If it is placed in strong light during management, it will easily get sunburned, resulting in leaf loss.

2. Improper watering: It likes moisture. If it is not watered for a long time, the soil in the pot will be dry and the roots will not be able to absorb water, which will cause yellow leaves and even fall off in severe cases. Do not water too much. Once water accumulates in the soil, the root breathing will be hindered. Over time, the roots will rot and leaves will fall.

3. Infection by pests: If the environment provided during management is not suitable for infection by pests, insects may grow in the soil and gnaw on the roots, causing root rot and leaf loss. It may also directly harm the leaves, causing yellowing and falling leaves.

II. Remedial measures

1. Appropriate light: If the light is too strong, move it to a place with scattered light as soon as possible, and usually place it in a semi-shaded environment. Avoid direct sunlight in spring and autumn, and only expose to sunlight in the morning and evening in summer to prevent drying and falling leaves.

2. Water appropriately: If the soil in the pot is dry, water it thoroughly as soon as possible to allow the plant to absorb enough water and keep the soil slightly moist. If you water too much, you should reduce the amount of water in the later stage and water accumulation is strictly prohibited. In addition, when the climate is dry, spray water frequently to maintain humidity.

3. Improve the environment: If there are pests in the soil, it is recommended to change the soil directly and replace it with loose and breathable soil. If there are insect pests on the plants, it is recommended to spray them for treatment. You also need to change the maintenance environment and make sure the plants are well ventilated.
