Fuchsia leaves
Fuchsia leaves can fall off naturally during the winter, but this is mostly a warning sign of improper care. The cause of this problem should be identified and corrected immediately.
Why do fuchsia leaves fall
During the winter season, many fuchsia varieties shed their foliage. This is normal and does not require any intervention from the grower.
Fuchsia leaves may fall off due to the transfer of the pot to a new place
If the leaves began to wither and fall off at other times of the year, then the reasons may be as follows:
- transferring a pot from a familiar place to a new one. As soon as external factors, namely lighting, temperature or humidity of the air, change, the plant will immediately respond by dumping foliage;
- excess moisture. In this case, the root system of the plant is subject to rotting, and if you do not react in time, the plant dies;
- insufficient watering. In dry soil, the plant almost always withers instantly and loses its foliage.
All these reasons are easy to eliminate and return the flower to its original healthy appearance. But for this you need to act quickly, otherwise it will be impossible to restore the plant.
What to do if fuchsia leaves start to fall
After moving the flower to another place, it is necessary to spray with growth activators. They can help you cope with stress and recuperate.
If the plant has suffered from thirst for a long time, the loss of moisture should be restored by frequent watering in small doses. In addition, spraying will help to cope with the problem
When the soil has been waterlogged, a set of measures should be taken to save the plant. To do this, you need to remove the flower from the pot, carefully examine the roots and carefully remove all rotten fragments. After that, you can try to dry the soil. To do this, you can put a cup of paper or sand under the bottom of the pot. If this does not help, then the fuchsia is transplanted into new soil. For safety net, it is recommended to cut from the flower and root several branches. This will help grow a new fuchsia if the main fuchsia cannot be saved.
The flower is little susceptible to diseases and invasions of harmful insects
A beautiful and delicate plant that begins to wilt and lose leaves is a sad sight. In order to prevent such problems, you need to be careful about watering the flower and try not to expose it to stress when rearranging. But if, nevertheless, a problem does appear, then a prompt reaction will help preserve the plant and return it to a healthy appearance.
