Why do fuchsia leaves wither and fall

The leaves of the rose began to turn yellow and she began to throw them off - a situation familiar to many flower growers. In this case, you need to find out the reason and save the rosette by starting treatment in a timely manner. There are many reasons why the leaves of a rose in the garden are crumbling, but it is advisable for a flower lover to know all of them.

Sunlight problems

The rose bush feels good in a lit place. Planting in dark places can lead to leaf fall - there will not be enough sunlight for normal development and flowering.

Watering problems

Roses are moisture-loving flowers: drying and flying leaves on the bushes can be a sign of a lack of moisture in the heat.

Important! For a rose, you need to choose the right place where water does not collect and regularly water it once a week with water heated in the sun.

Lack of nutrients

Why are the leaves of the garden rose falling? There may be a lack of important trace elements (potassium, calcium, iron), which provokes premature yellowing and shedding of leaves.

  • With nitrogen deficiency, the leaves turn pale, shrink and fall prematurely, flowering worsens.
  • With a lack of potassium, the leaves dry out at the edges and fall off.
  • Yellowing of the leaves can be a sign of iron and phosphorus deficiency.

To maintain the balance of nutrients in the soil, it is necessary to regularly apply special complex fertilizers.

Important! An excess of nutrients is also undesirable for the growth and flowering of the rose garden.

If the soil is oversaturated with nitrogen, it will cause a powerful growth of the green mass, while the rose may not bloom at all. If this happens, the overgrown shoots must be shortened by 1/3 so that they form flower buds.

Unfavourable conditions

The main reasons that can lead to the fact that the rose will fall off the leaves:

  • Cold water is bad for a rose. Water the plant with warm water.
  • The flower does not like drafts - you need to carefully select a place.
  • Rare and abundant watering is harmful, the rose bush needs an optimal moisture content in the soil.
  • The rose needs regular feeding, a lack of nutrients can lead to diseases and shedding of leaves.
  • The appearance of fungal diseases is caused by over-fertilization and abundant watering.

Attention! When buying a rose seedling, you should carefully examine the plant so that there are no signs of diseases and pests on the bush.

Many flower lovers are often interested in what is the reason that the indoor rose has dropped its leaves? What to do if a rose has fallen leaves partially or all at once? The fact is that a room rose also requires close attention and careful care. It is necessary to monitor the condition of the leaves in order to prevent the development of the disease in time. Potted roses have many similar diseases to the garden street rose. They can also be attacked by pests.

Attention! Even at home, unfavorable conditions cause yellowing and foliage falling off.
