Floriculture is one of the mostcommon hobbies in our country. People want to feel closer to nature, creating in the apartment its small corner. Live greens allow you to escape from everyday problems and worries, relax and relax.
Alas, but it is not.In particular, many beginning plant growers often have a question about why the ficus is falling leaves. Let's try to understand all the possible reasons in this article.
If in the autumn or in winter your ficussuddenly fell off a few leaves, there is no need to panic: most likely, this is quite a physiological phenomenon, which does not pose any danger to the health of the plant. This is especially true in the case when the ficus is corny lacking in lighting, which in the northern regions can happen very easily.
But if such leaf fall occurs more than once a year, this is a serious cause for concern.
Asking the question of why the ficus fallsleaves, do not overlook the main symptoms, which clearly indicate the poor physiological state of the long-suffering plant. Here everything is simple: if on the average flower size you have not counted about 20-25 leaves, then this indicates some serious problems.
We used to believe that plants are their ownkind of dwelling decor, which can be changed and rearranged from place to place at its own discretion. Alas, but it is not. The concept of "stress" is typical not only for people or animals, but also for plants.
Если вы недавно переехали в новое жилье, особенно subject to its location in a completely different region, then it is not worth to be surprised at the leaf fall. So the plant displays stress. The phenomenon is not fatal, but for the period of acclimatization of the ficus it is desirable to provide fertilizing and normal illumination.
Кроме того, не стоит забывать о сквозняках и total housing temperature. When the ficus turns yellow and falls, forming fanciful heaps on the floor, check the temperature regime: if the plant is in a windswept corner, then the phenomenon is quite expected.
In the case when all this is combined with poor watering and insufficient lighting, the fall of leaves can acquire a catastrophic scale.
It is known that prevention is the best treatment. This statement is also true for this case.
If the ficus turns yellow and falls off even whencondition of a normal moisture regime, this is probably the fault of the feeding. More precisely, its complete absence. It is often necessary to see how people grow these plants in huge trees, while being in the same pot, in which the land never changes.
It was the impression that the ficusincredibly hardy and do not need any care. Believe me, this is not so. If for a couple of years you did not bother to feed the plant with special mineral fertilizers, then eventually the leaves would begin to fall off, and this process may well start suddenly.
В случае, когда и с подкормкой все в порядке, should pay attention to the temperature regime. The fact is that the ficus to it in general is not very demanding, it can grow beautifully at a temperature of even 20-22 degrees Celsius.
But he does not tolerate sharptemperature jumps and drafts (which we mentioned above). Especially capricious in this respect is the Ficus Ginseng. Fall leaves from him often and for much less serious reasons.
Если он произрастает в горшке, который стоит на rotten and ghastly windowsill, from which the wind whistles in all directions, then the fall of all the leaves will not take long. In the case when you simply do not have any other way out, at least lay a felt or other heat-insulating material on the sill.
And further.Banal pests do not infrequently infect flowers. Ficus (falling leaves in it and in this case) suffers as a result of the activity of aphids, spider mites and other "evil spirits." Pests fall into houses on fruits, vegetables and other agricultural products. More often they "come" on flowers bought in questionable stores, which do not closely monitor the quality of their products.
First, you should hurry.If you start the process, the plant will not be able to recover. In the case when it comes to banal pests, it is necessary to immediately process the leaves with special compounds, which are sold in a variety of conventional horticultural shops. By the way, spider mites often amaze Ficus Benjamin. Why do the leaves fall off? Yes, simply because the parasites simply suck out all the juices from the leaf.
But after that it will be necessary to deal withrestoration of the crown. To grow faster new leaves, it can be processed with a wonderful preparation "Epin". It is specifically designed for "resuscitation" of indoor flowers.
And why the ficus leaves fall, if allthe above problems have already been eliminated? Well, it happens, but do not despair. In this case, you should try to completely replace the ground. Often in the old soil a whole colony of nematodes is planted. In addition, if you took the soil in your garden, there can safely live a harmful earthworm.
All these "guests" are committed toeat the root system with appetite. Of course, asking why ficus leaves fall, in this case is stupid. Completely clean the roots from the ground, wash them in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, then plant a flower in fresh soil.
