Why is the camellia tree dropping leaves?

1. Air Drying

Camellia likes a humid growing environment. If the surrounding area is too dry, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, especially when the temperature is high and evaporation is vigorous. It is necessary to spray water on the leaves in time to ensure that there is humidity in the environment, so that the leaves can be full of vitality and remain lush and green.

2. Unsuitable soil quality

It likes soil with a lower pH value. The water quality in the northern region is alkaline. Long-term watering will increase the pH value of the soil, making it difficult for the plant to adapt. In mild cases, it will cause leaves to fall off, and in severe cases, it may cause the death of the plant. You can loosen the soil frequently, add some acidic substances, or directly replace the soil with new soil to provide a suitable growth environment.

3. Excessive watering

It likes moisture, but cannot tolerate an overly wet environment. Watering is a very critical factor. If a large amount of water is added, the soil in the pot will be too wet, and the plant will drop leaves due to root rot, and may die in the long run. Stop watering immediately and place the flower pot in a well-ventilated place to allow the water to evaporate.

4. Poor ventilation

Camellia trees may also drop leaves if they are exposed to excessive heat for a long time, so they should be moved to a place with better air circulation.
