Why does the jade tree drop its leaves?

1. Causes of leaf drop

1. Improper watering: When watering the jade plant, if the amount of water is not controlled well, water will easily accumulate in the potting soil. In an environment that is too humid, the plant will lose its leaves, and the roots will rot over time. In addition, if you don't water the plant for a long time, the plant will be in a state of water shortage and will also lose leaves.

2. The temperature is too low: If you do not take good measures to keep warm in winter, the plants will be frostbitten, and once frost damage occurs, the leaves will fall off.

3. Compacted soil: If the soil for planting jade plant is too compacted or contains insect eggs, its root system will be in an unhealthy growth environment for a long time, causing leaves to fall off.

4. Pests and diseases: When the plant is attacked by pests and diseases, it will show adverse symptoms locally at first. If it is not prevented and controlled in time, not only will the leaves fall off, but the whole plant may die.

2. Treatment methods

If you want to solve the leaf problem from the root, you must find out the cause based on your usual maintenance methods and then take targeted measures. If it is caused by watering, you must water it reasonably to avoid water accumulation in the potting soil, and it should not be too dry. If it is caused by low temperature, take warming measures in time. If it is caused by soil compaction, loosen the soil as soon as possible or replace the potting soil directly. If it is caused by pests and diseases, it is necessary to use medicine to prevent and control it in time.
