Often we buy or receive a healthy, seemingly indoor plant, but after a while problems start: the flower dries, the leaves turn yellow and begin to fall off. What could be the reason? Let's find out!
A house rose sheds leaves - what should I do?
First of all, it is necessary to understand the possible reasons why the home rose turns yellow, the leaves dry and fall:
- Overdried substrate can very well cause a house rose to discard leaves. In the summer in the heat, she needs a lot of copious watering, and for him you should not use cold water. Watch how your room flowers feel on the windowsills.
- A sunburn in the summer or, conversely, the location on a cold winter window is also fraught with dropping foliage.
- If the blame for all the drafts, then the plant will dump the leaves, without waiting for them to turn yellow. In this case, it is recommended to immediately remove the cause.
- Problems with the leaves can occur in a situation where the rose is regularly fed with excessive doses of fertilizers. In this case, just do not fertilize the flower at all for a while.
- The plant can turn yellow and dry due to the imbalance of the batteries:
- Nitrogen deficiency (the leaves become pale green, and then yellow, starting from the middle vein);
- lack of potassium (yellow spots appear on the foliage);
- lack of iron - a disease known as chlorosis (yellowness appears from the edges and between the veins of the leaves, then the leaves turn white and fall off).
Here your task - to recognize which element is missing your pet room, and "treat" the rose with the appropriate drug. If the plant blooms profusely and at the same time begins to turn yellow, it may be that it is just not enough nutrients. After the rose fades, you can transplant it into fresh soil, and two weeks later, feed it with a universal complex fertilizer.
