What to do when potted osmanthus leaves dry up? Causes and solutions

1. Reduce watering or stop watering

Cause: If there is too much watering, it will cause root rot in the osmanthus, resulting in dry and rotting leaves.

Solution: Place the osmanthus in a cool, ventilated spot, stop watering or reduce watering first, and follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and stopping when it is moist.

2. Place it in a cool, ventilated spot and gradually increase the amount of water

Cause: If there is too little watering, and the potted osmanthus is not watered for a long time, the soil in the pot lacks water, which leads to a very small number of fibrous roots and absorbing roots, causing insufficient water absorption, which makes the osmanthus leaves dry, turn yellow and fall off.

Solution: Place the osmanthus in a cool, ventilated spot, mist the plant several times a day, then water the potting soil, and be careful to gradually increase the amount of water when watering.

3. Shade and mist

Cause: The environment is too dry, and the air humidity where the osmanthus grows is not enough.

Solution: Place the osmanthus in a cool spot and mist the plant and the surrounding air every day.
