Why does azalea drop leaves? How to remedy it

1. Why does azalea drop leaves?

1. Excessive watering: Azalea is afraid of waterlogging. Excessive watering will cause waterlogging in the soil, which will suffocate the roots of the azalea and cause the leaves of the plant to wilt. When the waterlogging is serious, the roots of the azalea will rot and lose the ability to absorb water, and the leaves of the plant will fall off.

2. Soil drought: Some leaves of the azalea turn yellow and fall off, and the flower buds become dry. At this time, if you weigh the soil in the pot, it feels very light. This is probably because the plant has not been watered for a long time and the soil is too dry.

3. Poor ventilation: Azalea likes to stay in a well-ventilated environment. If the maintenance environment is closed and not ventilated, the azalea will protest by dropping its leaves.

4. Dry air: Azalea likes moisture. If the air humidity is particularly low, the leaves of azalea will dry out and then fall off.

2. How to remedy the loss of leaves of azalea

1. Excessive watering: If it is caused by excessive watering, take the soil out of the pot and check the root system. If there are signs of rot, cut off the rotten roots and re-pot with moist soil.

2. Soil drought: If it is caused by soil drought, water the azalea in time, water it thoroughly, and water it slowly until water flows out from the bottom of the pot.

3. Poor ventilation: If it is caused by poor ventilation, you should open windows frequently for ventilation when maintaining the plant indoors, but avoid the invasion of cold wind. You can also pad the flower pots to leave the water holes at the bottom of the pots empty.

4. Dry air: If it is caused by dry air, you can spray water on the leaf surface of the plant to increase the humidity in a well-ventilated environment. However, you cannot spray water when the azalea has flower buds. You can place a few pots of clean water next to the flower pot to increase the humidity.
