In autumn, goldfish plant stops growing and drops leaves like crazy? Do one thing right and it recovers fast and blooms profusely
Why do goldfish plant leaves drop after the start of autumn?
This situation is the most common at this time of year, because Xiao Qi's own goldfish plant also had this happen before. Actually, this situation is very easy to solve. The main reason is that we watered too much or left it outdoors in the rain too much, especially when it rains in autumn. When the potting soil stays wet for a long time, its leaves will show this condition. If ventilation is poor, this situation is even worse!

The solution is very simple. We mix mancozeb with water and pour it directly through the potting soil until thoroughly saturated. After thoroughly watering, spray the leaves with the mancozeb solution mixed with water. After that, put it in a well-ventilated place. During this period, do not water. Whenever you see the potting soil has completely dried out, water it again, and that is enough. Even if the goldfish plant's potting soil dries out completely, it will not have any problems. Letting it stay a little dry for a day or two will not affect its growth. The principle for watering is just to water thoroughly once it has dried out. Maintain good ventilation and spray with the mancozeb solution mixed with water two or three times, about seven days apart each time, and it will recover quickly!

Anyone who has grown a goldfish plant should know that in this season the goldfish plant does not grow. Why does it not grow? Because in this season it is in the season of developing buds and preparing to bloom. Right now, most of the goldfish plant's buds will grow out between the branches and leaves, and after emerging they bloom directly. What we need to do now is keep the potting soil slightly moist. Even if it dries a little, it does not matter. Put it in a place with plenty of light, maintain good ventilation, and let it fully produce buds and bloom. After the flowers finish blooming, supplement fertilizer in time, and it will begin to grow quickly. During this period, you can keep the potting soil moist, and when it is almost dry, just water it thoroughly. During their bud stage, too much watering will cause the leaves to rot and fall off. Be sure to remember this point.

Goldfish plant leaf rot and leaf drop are most likely to appear in this season, and the cause is excessive watering. Xiao Qi's ability to organize words is very poor. I do not know if you understood? Because it is now going to bloom, it is not growing now, and the potting soil does not need too much moisture. It relies on the moisture inside the plant and the nutrients obtained from our earlier fertilizing to produce buds and bloom. As long as the potting soil is kept slightly moist and it is allowed to grow out its buds and open them, that is enough!
