What to do if a potted banyan tree has few leaves?

The potted banyan tree is a kind of leafy green plant that many people have, which has many advantages such as lush branches and leaves, evergreen in all seasons, unique shape, and beautiful crown. If the banyan tree wants to have good ornamental value, on the one hand, the root system should be lush and the stems are changeable, and on the other hand, the leaves should be small and dense, green and shiny. Some flower friends' potted banyan trees are lush in summer and autumn, and they look particularly beautiful, but they lose their leaves in winter, which is really distressing.

Potted banyan trees are the most likely to shed their leaves in winter, what's going on? Let's find out.

Internal causesIn winter, when maintaining the banyan potted plant, if the maintenance is not done properly, the root system will be damaged, and the water and nutrients can not be absorbed normally, and the yellow leaves and leaves will easily occur. The two main reasons for damage to the root system of the banyan tree are watering and fertilization, too much or too little watering, low temperature fertilization, too thick fertilizer, organic fertilizer is not ripe, etc., will also hurt the root system of the small banyan tree, thus affecting the normal growth of leaves.

The exogenous ficus tree is a southern tree species that prefers a warm, moist, and sunny growing environment. In winter, the weather is relatively cold (the minimum temperature is lower than 5 degrees and it is easy to lose yellow leaves, it is recommended that the minimum temperature is best kept above 10 degrees), poor indoor maintenance and ventilation, low air humidity, and insufficient light, it will also cause banyan potted yellow leaves to fall leaves. In particular, temperature and humidity play a crucial role in whether the leaves of the banyan tree are green and shiny.

These two points are often difficult to grasp in winter, especially in the northern regions, where humidity cannot be guaranteed if the temperature is guaranteed.

Banyan trees shed their leaves in winter in potted plants, and it is necessary to analyze whether it is an internal or external cause according to the specific situation. If it is a root problem, continuous yellow leaves fall off, you should turn the pot as soon as possible, check the root condition, prune and sterilize and re-pot, strictly control watering and fertilization, and put it in a warm and cool place to wait for the pot. If it is an external cause, that is, the leaf loss caused by factors such as low temperature, poor ventilation, low humidity and other factors, the maintenance environment should be improved, as much as possible to create a suitable environment for the growth of small banyan trees, the situation of leaf loss will gradually improve.

Maybe some flower friends will say: "You said it simply, how do I know if the loss of leaves on the banyan tree is an internal or external cause?" It won't speak!

Whether the leaves of the banyan tree are caused by internal or external causes are not difficult to find out by paying attention to the combination of maintenance methods. If it is caused by internal causes, it is caused by rotten roots, consider whether there is fertilizer recently, whether the potting soil will be too wet to the touch, see if there are patches in the fallen leaves, whether the new leaves are yellow-green, etc., if these symptoms are there, it is rotten roots, and you need to turn the pot. If it is caused by external factors, consider the recent indoor temperature, humidity, light and other factors, whether it is suitable for the growth of banyan trees, observe the fallen leaves, whether they are all green, even if they are yellow, they are relatively clean, there are no patches and spots, if there are these symptoms, it is not caused by rotten roots, and it is necessary to work hard to maintain the environment.

Potted banyan trees should be fertilized. Specialized fertilizers can be used. You can also use your own homemade fermented fertilizer. This will promote the growth of potted banyan trees.

It may be because the soil has been planted for too long and the soil is deprived of nutrients, resulting in less leaf surface, so you can apply some slow-release fertilizer to promote leaf germination.

It is necessary to prune and topping several times a year, control fertilizer and water, and receive sufficient light, so that the banyan bonsai at home can flourish and have small leaves.
