False Epiphyllum flower color is very positive, a healthy false Epiphyllum plant when flowering by the branches and leaves set off particularly attractive. But a lot of flower friends will encounter a headache when they are cultivating. They will lose their leaves. So today, Xiaobian will tell you what to do when the leaves of Epiphyllum are dropped.

Improper watering

Epiphyllum needs a lot of water in the golden period of growth. If the water is insufficient, the individual of the plant will be very small and ugly. But if the water is too much, it will lead to false Epiphyllum leaves. Especially in the half month after flowering, because the whole plant will be in a dormant state, so it is necessary to reduce watering.

Root problem

Once an interesting experiment was made for a more rigorous flower friend: he dug out a false Epiphyllum with withered leaves and even began to shed leaves from the soil and cultivated it in water for a period of time. During that time, he carefully took care of the roots of the plants. After a period of time, the surprise happened, and the originally listless false Epiphyllum became upright. Before drooping, wilting leaves have become healthy. This shows that its roots and its leaves have a direct relationship.

The pot is not good

So if your Epiphyllum also has fallen leaves, it's better to try to reselect the planting pot and soil for it, and find a "new home" for it, maybe it will improve.

Dormant period

There are two dormancy periods in a year. One is after flowering, and the other is hot summer. Especially in summer, many flower friends don't know that the plants are dormant at this time. In order to keep the soil moist, they still water according to the usual standard, which leads to the problem of root system and leaves falling.
