Most beginner gardeners make one of the typical beginner's mistakes: they either try too hard to create conditions for the tropics for the plant, or they try to temper and accustom the plant to a new climate. It is not surprising that the Chinese rose turns yellow and discards leaves, because here it is important to find the golden mean.
Why does a Chinese rose shed leaves?
There are few sources of this problem and, as practice shows, this is the result of improper care. Let's consider classical cases and answers to a question, why yellow leaves at the Chinese rose:
- At high temperatures, the plant needs more moisture. But even here the measure is important. One of the reasons why the leaves turn yellow is the swamp on the bottom of the pot of the Chinese rose. You try to pour as much water as possible, it settles on the bottom and the roots are in a cold swamp. This is a very typical picture for winter.
- No less common reason why a Chinese rose sheds leaves, there remains a reaction to a drop in temperature. This is typical for a variety of institutions where heating is included later, and the flower is located near the window.
- With the arrival of a short day, the Chinese rose turns yellow due to lack of light and leaves fall. Here everything is natural: the plant gets rid of excess, so as not to waste energy and adapt to less light.
- When the Chinese rose turns yellow and leaves fall in a dull state, you are dealing with a spider mite. The nature of the yellowing itself is different: sometimes it is almost completely green leaf with a barely noticeable yellowness, sometimes the foliage turns yellow.
- Everyone knows that nitrogen is necessary for active growth. However, its excess will cause the Chinese rose ends of the leaves to darken and fell.
It turns out that to find a place for a flowerpot, to determine the right amount of fertilizing in the process of cultivation is experienced. It is enough just to follow the general recommendations for plants in the winter and not to do over and above.
