Leaf loss of pepper wood is mostly related to its habits, which may be caused by unsuitable growth environment and improper maintenance.
Growth habit of pepper wood:
Light: Positive plants need strong light.
Suitable temperature for growth: between 20 and 32 ℃
Growth characteristics: slow growth, heat resistance, cold resistance, drought resistance, wind resistance, shear resistance, easy to transplant, not resistant to water logging, fertile sandy loam is the best soil for cultivation, and good drainage and lighting are required.
Propagation and cultivation: using cutting and high-pressure method, spring is the appropriate time.
Temperature and humidity management: prefer a slightly dry or humid climate environment, and the humidity of the growth environment is required to be 50-70%. It likes warm climate, but the environment with high temperature and muggy temperature above 35 ℃ in summer and relative humidity of air above 80% is not conducive to its growth; The requirements for winter temperature are strict. When the ambient temperature is below 10 ℃, growth will stop, and it is not safe to overwinter under frost.
