What to do if the kumquat tree leaves are dry

1. Excessive watering

One of the reasons why its leaves are drying up is probably because it is watered too much. If there is too much water in the pot, the leaves will turn yellow and wither. In daily care, be careful not to water the plant too wet, otherwise the roots will have difficulty breathing and will rot. The best way is to let the soil dry out before watering, which will be beneficial to the growth of roots and will not cause the leaves to dry out. In normal times, you should pay attention to watering more in dry weather and draining in rainy seasons, otherwise the boron in the soil will be lost.

2. Poor soil quality

If the soil quality for planting it is not very good and does not meet its needs, it will not have a good growing environment and its leaves will dry up. If the soil becomes compacted, it will be difficult for water to penetrate into the deep layers of the soil. The roots at the bottom cannot absorb water and nutrients, and the leaves will lose water and slowly wither.

At this time, you should use a soil loosening tool to loosen the soil gently, leaving some gaps in the soil. Moderately loosening the soil can make the soil more breathable, the drainage effect will be better, and it will be more beneficial to the growth of leaves. Normally, you should add more livestock urine and feces to it, and use some liquid fertilizer every ten days or so to improve the soil and increase fertilizer to ensure that the leaves can get sufficient nutrition.

3. Infestation by pests and diseases

If it is caused by pests and diseases, the leaves will become sick and wither. You can carefully observe the condition of the leaves to see if there are any insect pests. If there are insects, use pesticides. If it is a disease, use antibiotics or other drugs. If it is not controlled in time, pests will eat its roots and bite its root bark. Nutrients and water cannot be transported to the leaves in time, and it will wither.
