What to do when Radermachera sinica leaves curl and droop?

Curling and drooping leaves on Radermachera sinica may be caused by overwatering, in which case ventilation should be increased to speed up water evaporation. Too much light can also make the leaves curl and droop, so the plant needs to be shaded. Leaving the potting soil unchanged for a long time can also cause curling and drooping leaves, and the soil should be replaced with new soil immediately.

What are the causes

1. Control watering

The growth of Radermachera sinica cannot do without sufficient water, and keeping the soil slightly moist when watering is most suitable; too much water will rot the plant's roots and cause the leaves to curl and droop. When this happens, move the plant to a ventilated environment promptly to speed up water evaporation.

2. Improve lighting

The growth of Radermachera sinica needs sufficient sunlight, but it should not be exposed to strong direct light for long periods. If the leaves curl and droop, it may be caused by strong light exposure. When this happens in summer, shade the plant promptly, and the curling and yellowing of the leaves can be improved.

3. Replace the potting soil

Growing Radermachera sinica requires replacing the potting soil with new soil every 1-2 years. If the soil is not changed for a long time, it may become compacted, which affects the plant's healthy growth and causes the leaves to curl and droop. At this point, replace the soil with new soil immediately, and after careful care for a period of time, the plant will recover.

4. Stop fertilizing

The growth of the plant cannot do without sufficient fertilizer, but if too much or too concentrated fertilizer is applied, it will cause fertilizer burn, making the leaves curl and droop. At this point, water Radermachera sinica more to flush away the excess fertilizer. In the future, remember to apply light fertilizer frequently so the plant can grow healthily.
