Why does Fragrant Wood lose its leaves? How should it be solved?

Fragrant Wood is a common green plant. Its leaves give off a fresh fragrance, can purify the air and repel mosquitoes. It is very suitable for growing at home, and it also has high ornamental value. But many people find that it keeps dropping leaves when growing it, so why does Fragrant Wood keep dropping leaves? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction.

1. Insufficient light

When growing potted plants indoors, the issue of light is always overlooked. Without sufficient light, Fragrant Wood grown indoors is very prone to the problem of insufficient light. Insufficient light prevents its leaves from carrying out normal photosynthesis, so not enough nutrients are synthesized, and the leaves will drop.

Solution: Fragrant Wood is a sun-loving plant and needs at least 6 hours of natural light exposure every day. In winter, the sunshine period is relatively short, and the light at noon is not strong either, so it can be placed directly on the balcony to receive all-day sunlight. In summer, when the sunlight is strong, proper shading is needed to avoid leaf dehydration and wilting caused by strong sunlight exposure, which can also lead to leaf drop.

2. Improper watering

Many people fail to master proper watering methods during cultivation. Both overwatering and underwatering can cause Fragrant Wood to drop leaves. Fragrant Wood itself is relatively drought-tolerant. If watered too much, the potting soil easily becomes waterlogged, which affects the respiration of the root system and leads to leaf drop.

Solution: Fragrant Wood does not need to be watered too frequently. Generally, watering once every 4-5 days is enough, but each watering must be thorough. When a little water begins to seep out from the bottom of the flower pot, you can stop watering.

3. Excessive fertilizing

Fragrant Wood is relatively sensitive to fertilizer. Excessive fertilizing can also increase the burden on Fragrant Wood. Too much fertilizer can cause fertilizer burn to the seedlings, leading to leaf drop. In addition, excessive fertilizing can also cause leaf drop. During the growing period, Fragrant Wood's demand for nutrients gradually increases. Once nutrients are lacking, it will drop leaves.

Solution: Be sure to pay attention to the method when fertilizing Fragrant Wood. Nutrients need to be increased during the growing period. Too much fertilizer will also affect its growth, so fertilizing should follow the principle of light fertilizer applied frequently, and the fertilizer type chosen should be one that is easily absorbed.

4. Normal phenomenon

Leaf drop in Fragrant Wood may also be a normal phenomenon. After transplanting, Fragrant Wood will also show leaf drop. This is a very normal phenomenon of not adapting to the pot, and there is no need to be overly nervous, because after a short time Fragrant Wood will return to normal.
