Golden Branches and Jade Leaves Because it can be shaped into various exquisite bonsais with unique shapes and happy names, many florists will keep one on their indoor balcony or on their desk. If the maintenance environment is suitable and the maintenance technology is good, the golden branches and leaves will grow longer and more beautiful, and the thick and oily green leaves will give people a feeling of vitality. Recently, some florists reported that they bought a golden-branched jade leaf a year ago. It grew quite well at first, but since this year, all the original old leaves have fallen off, leaving only some small leaves on the branches, and it looks like It is very unhealthy. I want to save it, but I don’t know where the problem lies. Today I will take this opportunity to talk to you about how to find the reason when Jinzhiyuye encounters this situation.
Judging from the photos provided by the flower friend, the flower pot is a bit too big and the soil is still relatively moist. Therefore, as far as the flower friend’s golden branch is concerned, it is most likely that the roots are suffocated due to too much water, so I want to save it. If so, there is only one way, which is to remove the soil and check the root system. After removing the soil, clean the injured root system and let it dry for 2 to 3 days. Wait for the root wound to dry before repotting.
Since this is an old post, in order to increase the speed of rooting, you can soak it with rooting powder after pruning the roots, and cut the top branches shorter overall. , if possible, it is best to change to some looser and more breathable soil, because indoor maintenance is not well ventilated, and the requirements for soil are relatively high. If you do not want to change the soil, it is recommended to put one-third of the foam blocks at the bottom of the flower pot. , to increase water permeability, because I feel that the flower friend’s pot is a bit big and deep.
For flower lovers, if the succulent that has been maintained for a period of time has an inexplicable problem and the cause cannot be found, it is actually necessary to remove the soil and inspect it. The root system is really a good method. Although it will take some trouble, it can solve most difficult and complicated diseases. After all, as long as you are sure that the succulent root system is OK, then other problems will not be a problem. Of course, for the variety of Jinzhiyuye that loses its leaves In addition to root problems, there are the following two reasons.
According to my observation, Jinzhiyuye is a species that prefers water, and its dormancy characteristics are not obvious. If we control the water for a long time when maintaining them, there will be obvious leaf drop, and it is It falls off layer by layer, and if it is serious, the entire pole will fall out. So how do you water the golden branches and jade leaves in normal times to prevent the leaves from falling off?
When I water, I usually look at two criteria. One is whether the soil is dry. If it is dry, water it in time. Don’t wait too long. Generally speaking, as long as the temperature is not higher than 40 degrees Celsius all year round, Extreme days at 5 degrees It is best to keep the pot soil slightly moist but slightly dry. If nothing happens, you can spray some water mist on the surface of the leaves. This can prevent them from excessive water shortage. Second, look at the softness and hardness of the leaves. If the leaves are a little soft and There are also cases where the leaves are falling off, so water them in time. As long as they are back to health the next day after watering, and the leaf dropping is reduced, it means that it is caused by lack of water.
In addition to giving a little more water, this variety is not tolerant to the sun and cannot be fully exposed to the sun like other varieties. Take my golden branches and jade leaves as an example. They grow well when placed on the north window sill and next to the TV cabinet. Move to the south balcony, let it sit in the sun for a few days, and it will The leaves may fall off, so for flower lovers, when maintaining golden branches and jade leaves, try to give them soft light. For them, there is no need to color them, just make sure they are not too leggy, and for those that are too dense, We need to prune the branches boldly, which can increase the ventilation of the entire plant and reduce the probability of leaf loss. The pruned branches can become new plants when inserted into the soil.
In summary, for indoor-maintained Jinzhiyuye, if the leaves fall off (when there are no diseases and insect pests), if the watering is normal and there is no exposure to the sun, then there is a high probability that it is a root problem, and the roots need to be removed and repaired. . As long as there are no problems in these three aspects, Jinzhiyuye will most likely not suffer serious leaf loss.
