Why flower room drops leaves and how to solve the problem

Houseplants sometimes begin to drop leaves. The intensity of the process may be different from pair to complete abscission of leaves. Consider the article the most common causes and what to do to help the flower.

1. The natural aging process

The life of the sheet in some plants - more, others - less. This is a normal age-related phenomenon, why worry and to take special measures not necessary. But it is important to distinguish "senile" defoliation of other, more dangerous causes. It has 2 main features:

• Lower leaves wilt.
• The process is not so massive. Normally, if you were missing a month 1-4 pieces. Average. There is a huge adjustment for the type of houseplant. For example, the Phalaenopsis orchid leaves live for years, whereas my Impatiens Waller can fold a sheet 3 a week - very lush bush, and so this number!

In other cases, about which I write in detail below, will have to take treatment plants or normalization of the growth conditions.

2. bred pests

Pests suck plant nutrients in domestic power. Over time, the flower can not provide themselves and parasites. As a result of defoliation begins. The pace may be different, but the rate of decrease gradually increasing greenery. Carefully inspect the flower, preferably under a magnifying glass: it may have appeared unexpected guests?

If you find pests, flower should be set aside to keep from infecting neighboring. And we start treatment as early as possible to save the green pet!

There are three rules help houseplants:

• Folk remedies, which we love to use, help is only in the initial stages, and then hardly cope. If the flower has shed its leaves - the time "Grandma's methods" was held. It is better to use special drugs.
• It will take at least 2 treatments with 2 weeks apart - for this time of the larvae have time to be new individual.
• Process must not only apparent victim, but also its neighbors on the windowsill. And even with the window frame sill.

Needless to say, we act according to the instructions and observe safety measures. All this is found on the packaging with the product.

3. The plant is clearly something is not pleasant! fix it

There are a number of reasons why the plant begins to drop leaves. I tell the most important thing:

• adaptation period after transplanting or moving. Indoor flower needs time to recover in the new location. Try to provide him with suitable conditions. Instead dressings use "Appin" (out of store) or succinic acid (the pharmacy). These tools help houseplants faster to cope with stress. About the second option, which I personally like very much, I immediately wrote at length: A simple dressing of colors with the fastest result. The natural growth stimulator!
• overflow. Excess moisture at the roots leads to their decay. The plant gradually begins to rot hangs "ears" and the leaves are falling. We'll have to replant the flower fungicide treating the root system, and adjust the watering.

• Underfill. Oddly enough, the picture is the same as that of the overflow: the leaves lose their tugor, and then turn yellow and fall off. However, in this case, after only a couple of hours after watering flower "comes to life".
• Poor or not suitable for acidity the soil. Adjust fertilizing mode and pick up soil, plant suitable for the acid-alkaline balance.

• Little light. Some house plants, loving good lighting, with the onset of autumn and winter begin to drop leaves. Before that, generally, their color turns pale or yellow. The reason for this - short daylight hours. The same happens when light-demanding permutation flower into the room.
  To solve the problem can be 2 ways. Rearrange the pot on a lit area (south-facing window), or use special lamps for supplementary lighting.

In any case, a significant shedding of leaves of plants, - an alarming sign. Florist caring not leave the situation without measures and control.
