Hello, fans of indoor plants!
Ficus benjamina - insanely beautiful flower. But if he was a man, I would say about him: "With its cockroaches in my head." Sometimes it grows without any problems in people who know little about the care of the home colors. And those shaking over a pot every day, fikusonok persistently losing precious leaves.
Winter - a critical time in the life of Ficus benjamina. It was at this time, thousands of growers are faced with falling leaves crazy green friend. It seems that a little bit more and the tree will be completely bald...
If the problem is familiar and you - exhale, calm down and read my review before the end of
In winter, all conditions are created to Ficus benjamina leaves began to lose:
- Battery life goes heat.
- The sun is shining very weak and so short... A Ficus benjamina - very, very photophilous plant. The more% white in the color of the sheet, the more light it is necessary to house plants.
- Ficus benjamina - known conservative. Any changes in the environment forced him to do a well-known way to respond to the new conditions: throw leaves. Taking into account the previous paragraph 2 (a sharp change of scenery, with unfavorable), leaf fall is not surprising. And also add that some rearranging flowers with the arrival of fall, for example, from the balcony at the window sill, and so on. D.
How to help the poor thing capricious
I write the points of advice:
💎 your favorite ficus worth somewhere on the outskirts of the room? Or, even worse, lonely hiding in the corner? Find your pot is the brightest place in the house. We have, at a latitude just north of Moscow, fit only the western and southern windows.
You can legitimately ask whether it is possible because, as defoliation may increase due to the move? I think that is not possible, and it is necessary! Because Crohn's motley handsome until the sun comes to the desired activity, in the corner will suffer more than the one-time because of moving to a new residence.
And there is a period of adjustment is over and everything will be fine again.
💎 finding a permanent place, give the flower to get used to it. If you turn the pot, then slowly, literally a couple of centimeters. Many growers are advised to spray means, helps the plant to adapt "Appin", "HB-101" or solution of succinic acid. But I have not tried and will not vouch for the benefits. However, the damage in any case will not be! 😊
💎 Although one can find recommendations completely stop fertilizing houseplants in the winter, I am against. Especially, if the flower have not transplanted. After Ben's life does not stop completely! Therefore, 1 time per month, I fertilize it of complex mineral fertilizers. Recall that the flower by means of taste with a high content of nitrogen (N) or with equal parts NPK.
💎 Watering - is important. The soil in the pot may dry too rapidly and unexpectedly grower. Thank batteries! Because of the drought may fall away not only adults, but also very young leaves.
💎 important and humidity. Though to a lesser extent, but still. Spray or place the next container with water to somehow increase this rate.
💎 Keep your Bendzhaminchik not suffer from cold drafts. Of course, it is necessary to ventilate the room in winter. But then carefully move the pot to a safe place, and then return back. The same side of the light, which was before. 30 minutes nothing bad will happen 😊
