Cherry trees drop leaves due to improper watering

Improper watering is the main reason why cherry blossoms drop leaves, because too much or too little watering will cause the cherry blossoms to grow poorly. This mainly includes dry climate, insufficient watering, and rainfall and excessive watering, which are all important factors.

When growing cherry blossoms, you should pay attention to watering them in time, but not too much, and pay attention to drainage during the rainy season.

Cherry trees drop leaves because of excessive fertilizer

Cherry blossoms are not plants that like fertilizer, so when cultivating them, the concentration of fertilizer should not be too high. If it is too high or the concentration of fertilizer is uneven, it will cause the cherry blossoms to lose leaves.

When fertilizing cherry blossoms, be sure to apply less fertilizer and low concentration. Generally, it is sufficient to fertilize twice a year, once in winter and after flowering. It is best to use acidic fertilizers.

In addition, the soil may become compacted due to watering or fertilizing, which may also cause the cherry blossoms to drop leaves.
