The most likely cause is rotten roots caused by standing water, and other leaves fall. If the branches and leaves are not pruned for a long time, the growth of the bottom branches is excessive, and some leaves will fall due to uneven consumption. The last reason is the loss of leaves caused by diseases and insect pests. When we find that the leaves fall, we first identify the reasons, and then make targeted adjustments.

I. caused by watering

When watering, do not pay attention to the amount and times of water, or do not drain it in time after the heavy rain outside the room, it will be easy to make the basin soil too wet, at this time, the root will start to rot under the humid environment for a long time, and the leaves will naturally start to fall.

Solution: when watering, we should judge according to the condition of basin soil. When the surface of the basin becomes yellow and white, when the leaves are slightly curled, do not rush to water it, just spray it with spray. If you are raising indoors, you'd better water it once every 20 to 25 days. If you are raising outdoors, you'd better water it once every 15 to 20 days. In case of heavy rain, it is necessary to stop watering and drain the water in the basin. If the symptom of fallen leaves has appeared, we can replace it with new flower soil without water

2. It is caused by not trimming for a long time.

When curing, if you don't prune it for a long time, it will make the branches below grow too fast and consume more nutrients, so the leaves will start to fall

Solution: you can cut off a part of too many branches and leaves in the lower part. When trimming, you can trim it into a variety of shapes, such as umbrella, circle, etc. In this way, pruning can greatly reduce the nutrient consumption of branches and leaves, so that the root system starts to grow normally, and the leaves will not fall again. In addition, in order to keep the perfect shape of Taxus, we can also properly remove its top buds and some side branches.

3. Diseases and insect pests

Some Taxus in the high temperature or dry season, it is easy to cause a variety of diseases and insect pests, the first damage is the leaves, will appear the phenomenon of falling leaves.

Solution: we should use some medicine spray treatment to prevent the spread of diseases and insect pests.
