What to do if the banyan bonsai leaves turn yellow and fall off

1. Watering correctly

When caring for banyan bonsai, avoid overwatering or underwatering, as either of these will result in adverse symptoms. Therefore, the method of watering should be changed, and water should be applied when the soil is dry and wet. If the soil is too dry, water it immediately. If there is water accumulation in the soil, drain it as soon as possible.

2. Root pruning and disinfection

When the plant has root rot, it cannot transfer water and nutrients to the leaves of the banyan tree. Generally, root rot is caused by excessive fertilization, watering and bacterial problems. If this is the case, the roots showing signs of rot must be cut off. As long as there is rot, they must be cut off, and the roots must be disinfected with carbendazim before being potted.

3. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

If the banyan bonsai is sick or infested with insects, it is easy for the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Therefore, you must immediately purchase pesticides and disease treatment agents and use them for a period of time, and the adverse symptoms of the plants will gradually improve. In addition, the diseased plants should be moved to another place to avoid infecting other plants.
