If you don't pay attention to these points when keeping a Radermachera sinica (China doll) at home, it's very easy to kill it

Recently Huahua has noticed that quite a lot of flower friends keep Radermachera sinica (China doll), but few keep it well - either this pot has yellow leaves, or that pot has root rot. Today Huahua will walk everyone through the causes of these problems and how to solve them in a targeted way!

Why does Radermachera sinica (China doll) get yellow leaves and drop leaves?

When we keep Radermachera sinica (China doll) indoors, if a large number of leaves drop, it is mainly due to the following reasons.

1. Too much watering

If it is a large Radermachera sinica (China doll), it has many fine feeder roots but no main root, so we need to be especially careful with watering. Too much water easily causes waterlogging, and too little water leaves the plant short of water; both will cause the plant to drop leaves.

When we normally water, we can stick a wooden stick into the soil, pull it out and water again once the stick looks dry. To avoid the problem of waterlogging, the most important thing is to ensure the soil is loose and airy, as well as good ventilation.

2. Too little light

When keeping it indoors, the main problem is that the light in the room is too dim. Radermachera sinica (China doll) is a light-loving plant, so as long as it is not the summer when the sunlight is too strong, we can place the pot in a spot with light for care.

If this is the cause, we just need to give it more light and it will soon put out new branches and leaves!

3. Too little ventilation

On the issue of ventilation, Huahua must especially stress it, because it is too important for Radermachera sinica (China doll). If you want to keep Radermachera sinica (China doll), you must have ventilation - this is not something that can be solved by just using a fan or turning on the air conditioner.

Secondly, regarding leaf drop in Radermachera sinica (China doll), it cannot be ruled out that the plant is affected by smoke. If there are smokers at home or there is smoke, ventilate promptly to avoid the smoke being too thick, which causes leaves to turn yellow and drop.

Why does Radermachera sinica (China doll) get root rot?

Huahua has summarized the problems of most flower friends: when it comes to root rot in Radermachera sinica (China doll), the vast majority of cases are caused by waterlogged soil.

1. Watering

Watering too much causes waterlogged soil; if the roots sit soaked in a damp environment for a long time, root rot is inevitable.

2. Soil

Another cause of waterlogging is a problem with the soil: the soil is too clayey and compacted, not loose at all, and no amount of water control will help.

When root rot occurs, we have to perform surgery and replant it. Remove all the rotted roots, soak them in rooting powder solution, repot, and then drench the roots with carbendazim solution.

During this period, you must control your hands: absolutely do not water until the soil is dry.

The leaves of Radermachera sinica (China doll) are wrinkled and feel sticky to the touch

If you find its leaves wrinkled and deformed, and there are also shiny honeydew spots, there is no need to think about it - it is definitely aphids.

If there are not many leaves affected by the pests, we can wipe the leaves with a wet towel. If the pest infestation is severe, we need to spray the leaves with pesticides such as phoxim and dimethoate for control!

Usually pay attention to more ventilation and more light
