How to stop ficus from losing leaves: treatment and prevention
Yellowing and falling leaves are perhaps the most common problem that ficus owners have to deal with.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , some agricultural techniques will come to the rescue in such a case.
With the onset of autumn, when the heating season begins, the plant should be regularly treated with "Zircon". You need to act in accordance with the instructions.
In addition, it is worth trimming (pinching) the tops of the exposed branches.
Thanks to this simple trick, the dormant buds of the ficus will begin to wake up, and therefore it will grow foliage.
This procedure should be carried out in the spring, but experienced gardeners also remove branches in the fall and winter if they have completely dried out.
In some cases, replanting helps – make sure the pot is the right size and the soil is light and nutritious. Remember: the ficus should be in a bright place, where there are no drafts or direct sunlight.
Even when the leaves have completely fallen off, but the branches have not dried out, do not stop watering, adding succinic acid to the water for irrigation.
