Leaves can fall for several reasons.

The safest is the natural renewal of leaves when the lower petals fall off.

But if the problem is more serious, and the plant’s appearance leaves much to be desired, then we need to look into it in more detail.

Most often, the problem lies in errors during watering.

It should be taken into account that the plant does not tolerate excessive watering. The roots begin to rot because of this, which means that the plant itself seriously weakens, and the leaves fall off. In this case, it is better to stop watering for several weeks (up to a month). If necessary, you can transplant the fat woman.

Next, you need to water the plant as the soil dries out. In summer, it is enough to carry out the procedure once a week. You should also not allow the soil to dry out.

The plant also suffers if the room temperature is too high, the plant is hot. Watering in such conditions leads to stress.

Leaves also fall off if cold water is chosen for watering. The liquid should be at room temperature.

Direct sunlight, heat and dry air also cause problems. The leaves will turn yellow, dry out and fall off.

Sometimes the problem may be due to disease or pests.
