What to do if the bamboo begonia drops leaves

1. Cause Analysis

1. Watering too frequently

If you give the bamboo begonia too much water, the roots will be blocked and unable to breathe, and the leaves will fall off.

Workaround

Adjust the amount and frequency of watering in time, control water reasonably, and prevent water accumulation and excessive watering.

2. The temperature is too low

If the environment in which the bamboo begonia is located does not reach the temperature required for its growth, it will easily cause its leaves to fall off.

Workaround

Ensure room temperature to prevent plants from frost damage and keep them warm in winter.

3. Too much fertilizer

If you apply a large amount of fertilizer to the bamboo begonia in order to make it grow faster, it is likely to burn its roots, which will indirectly lead to leaf drop.

Workaround

Apply fertilizer reasonably, control the amount of fertilizer and frequency, ensure the fertility required for plant growth, control the intensity of fertilization, and ensure that the fertilizer does not contact the roots of the plant.

2. Precautions

Soil selection

If you want to grow the bamboo begonia well and prevent it from losing leaves easily, then the choice of culture soil is the primary factor. You should choose fertile and well-drained soil, which should be acidic. In order to increase drainage, you can drill a few holes in the bottom of the pot and add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil. It is enough to apply light liquid fertilizer once in the last two weeks. No fertilizer is needed in summer or winter. During its growing period, you must pay attention to keeping the soil moist, and you need to spray water around it to ensure the humidity of the air.

Temperature control

If controlled properly, it can effectively prevent and control the occurrence of leaf falling. In summer, the temperature should be controlled not to be higher than 30 degrees Celsius and exposure to the sun should be avoided. In winter, the temperature must not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius. The main task in this season is to keep warm and ensure the ventilation of the environment.

Timely pinching

After the leaves fall, you need to encourage more new leaves to grow, promote the metabolism of the bamboo begonia, and increase branches. What you need to do at this time is to pinch the leaves. Every spring, you need to repot the plants and trim old branches and dead leaves. It is enough to keep two or three buds on each branch. This will promote the growth of new branches and leaves.
