What to do about old yellow leaves on a Radermachera sinica? Water it with this kind of water in summer, and in 3 days the leaves will be lush and green

The Radermachera sinica has a good symbolic meaning, and it looks nice placed at home, so many flower lovers like it, but it always does poorly, with yellowing and falling leaves and not living past 1 month. It can practically tie with the money tree for first place among "hard-to-grow green plants"! Today Huahua will talk about how to grow Radermachera sinica well, to bless your home with abundant happiness~

Yellow leaves and falling leaves on Radermachera sinica

1. Too much watering, leaves rot and fall

Radermachera sinica likes a relatively moist environment, but if you water too much, or the potting soil is compacted so water does not penetrate, it is easy for roots and leaves to rot.

Solution: Control watering, and before watering check whether the potting soil is dry. For a plant already flooded, it is best to take it out of the pot and let it dry for a day, then dry it and put it back in the pot. If the potting soil is badly compacted, you can use a bamboo skewer to poke some holes along the edge of the flower pot, and wait until the weather cools to change the soil.

2. Not enough watering, drying out and dropping leaves

Evaporation is high in summer. If you do not pay attention to watering it for three to five days, the Radermachera sinica immediately wilts and the leaves pour down. Look at the fallen leaves, are they dry?

Solution: Water thoroughly right away. Ordinary flower pots have holes in the bottom, and watering thoroughly means watering until you see water flowing out of the small holes. After watering, let it recover for half a day and see whether it revives.

If the situation is relatively serious and most of the leaves have already dried up and fallen, it is best to cut the Radermachera sinica bare, soak the flower pot in a basin of water for 20 minutes, then put it in a cool, ventilated place to recover for 3-5 days. If new buds appear, it has survived.

3. The weather is too hot

Once the temperature exceeds 32°C, Radermachera sinica easily wilts. That is a distress signal, and you must pay attention.

Solution: "Take off its clothes" and prune the Radermachera sinica once so it can dissipate heat. Do not be reluctant to do it. The more you prune Radermachera sinica, the faster it grows. One month after pruning it can grow back to its original appearance. If you do not believe it, try it!

4. Scorching sun or lack of sunlight

Summer light is relatively intense. Many flower lovers like to put Radermachera sinica near the glass window of a balcony. If the sunlight is strong in this position, it is simply grilling the Radermachera sinica. Conversely, if you move Radermachera sinica to a dark corner in the house, where both light and ventilation are poor, it is also prone to yellowing and falling leaves.

Solution: Move it indoors to a place with balanced light, preferably a semi-shady spot. Huahua suggests placing it on the north side of the sofa in the living room. If the temperature at home is still too high, or if the air conditioner is on, you can spray water around the leaves of the Radermachera sinica, which can both lower the temperature and increase humidity.

5. Pests and diseases

Scale insects and aphids are the natural enemies of Radermachera sinica. Once these small insects infest it, they are hard to completely eliminate and always recur.

Solution: Flower lovers who have professional insecticides at home can spray some Jiebisiding, zinc phosphide, or Jiebizhizhi. It is best to spray after 3 p.m., move the Radermachera sinica outdoors, wear a mask well, and spray both the front and back of the leaves with the pesticide.

Huahua also has some homemade insecticides here: put pure milk in a small spray bottle and spray it on the leaves with insects, then after 2 hours wipe and rinse with clean water; wiping with alcohol can also kill insects; mix laundry detergent with hot water, let it cool, spray it on the insect-infested leaves, and after 1 hour wipe and rinse them clean, and that works too.

Grow it this way, and Radermachera sinica will be green and strong

1. Sufficient light, controlled watering and ventilation

Radermachera sinica cannot be grown in shade. The position must have bright light. You do not need to water too frequently; water thoroughly only after the potting soil is dry. This can stimulate Radermachera sinica to keep producing new leaves.

2. Proper pruning

Radermachera sinica easily becomes leggy. If your Radermachera sinica has new branches stretching out very long, there is no doubt that it is leggy, so hurry and prune off half to let it grow into a ball shape.

3. Fertilizer water and foliar fertilizer

The leaves of Radermachera sinica are the main event. Air conditioner condensate water and fish tank water can both be used as fertilizer water. You can also usually spray some beer water (flat beer mixed with water = 1:20), which can make the leaves green and shiny and keep them growing like crazy.
