Common leaf problems of Crassula ovata

Crassula ovata leaves falling

The most common problem with the leaves of the Swallow's Palm is leaf falling. So why does the Swallow's Palm drop its leaves?

Here are the reasons:

Because the growing environment is not managed well, such as long-term lack of water, low temperature of the growing environment, lack of ventilation, insufficient light or too much light, large amount of watering, resulting in water accumulation in the pot, damaging the roots and affecting the growth of leaves, etc.

All of the above factors can cause leaves to fall.

Prevention and control measures

You can adjust the environment according to the reason for leaf falling, place the Kusamara palm in a well-lit and ventilated location, pay attention to temperature changes, and maintain a suitable growth temperature. If conditions are not sufficient, artificial insulation can be used.

Also pay attention to the frequency and amount of watering. Water only when the soil is dry, and do not water until it is not dry. Do not allow water to accumulate in the pot.

Finally, you can cut off the leaves that are about to fall.

The leaves of the bird's nest are not full

If the leaves of the bird's nest are not full, they will become shriveled and dull, affecting their appearance.

The reason may be that the plant lacks water and fertilizer, so the nutrients needed for growth are also insufficient, which naturally affects the growth of leaves.

Prevention and control measures

Every time you water the Kusanagi plant, add water to the fertilizer to dilute it. If you fertilize it once a month, the leaves will slowly recover.

The leaves of the Crassula ovata wilt

The leaves of the Crassula ovata may wilt at ordinary times. This is caused by improper maintenance, such as lack of water and fertilizer.

Prevention and control measures

You can water and fertilize according to the growth of the plant. Do not allow water to accumulate, do not fertilize excessively, and do not use concentrated fertilizers. Raw fertilizers are enough.
