Avocado leaves dry what to do. Sunshet Agrosuccess - protecting plants from sunburn and drought. The main causes of drying
Avocado or perseus americana is not houseplant(but, nevertheless, flower growers grow this plant quite easily from a stone), therefore, in cramped conditions of a pot, avocado does not look very decorative, developing a long, slightly leafy stem (in its homeland, this evergreen tree sometimes reaches 20 meters in height). To induce lateral branching, it is recommended to periodically pinch the ends of its branches.
When growing avocados in the house, it is necessary to provide the plant with a bright (preferably sunny) place: in summer - warm, in winter - in a light coolness (in room conditions 15-18 degrees; in unheated winter garden+5 degrees and above with rare watering). With high humidity, the avocado develops faster and looks better (you can put a pot with a plant on a tray with wet expanded clay). Avocados should be watered moderately (especially in winter), moistening the soil only after it has dried with tepid water.
Every year in the spring, before the start of active vegetation, avocados are transferred to loose soil (garden, earth, humus and sand in equal proportions with the addition of sphagnum); peat is better not to use, as avocados do not tolerate acidic soils. In spring and summer, avocados are fed twice a month with mineral fertilizers.
Avocado leaves can fall off and dry out: from very dry air and cold drafts, from excessive watering, from using cold water for irrigation; from disease powdery mildew. Avocados are often affected by powdery mildew; at the first sign of the disease, the plant is treated with appropriate preparations.

There are three varieties of avocado: Mexican, Guatemalan, and West Indian. Their hybrids are known. Each variety is represented by several cultivars. The Mexican avocado has thin-skinned fruits, and the leaves smell like anise when crushed. This is a cold-resistant culture that feels good in the subtropics. The Guatemalan avocado has large, thick-skinned fruits; these trees are more capricious and less cold hardy. The most tender variety avocado - West Indian, cultivated mainly in the tropics.
Plant care:
Avocado as a plant is difficult to buy in flower shops. Therefore, you can grow it yourself from the bone. Avocado feels better in a bright place, from direct sunlight should be darkened. In the presence of free space and good illumination, you can achieve a certain decorative effect, but not flowering. In avocado culture, it blooms extremely rarely.
In spring and summer, avocado prefers high temperature(above room). In the autumn winter period favorable temperature is 18-20°C, when the temperature drops to 12°C, the plant may shed its leaves.
IN growing season(spring-summer) watered abundantly, after the top layer dries slightly. In the autumn-winter period, water moderately, a day or two after the top layer of the substrate dries.
Avocados prefer high humidity. Therefore, frequent spraying is necessary, especially during the heating season with water at room temperature. To increase humidity, the plant can be placed on a pallet with wet moss, expanded clay or pebbles. In this case, the bottom of the pot should not touch the water.
In the period from spring to the end of summer, top dressing is required every two weeks with mineral and organic fertilizers, during the dormant period (winter-autumn) - the plant is not fed.
A young plant must be transplanted annually, and an adult after 2-3 years. The substrate is prepared from sod land, humus and sand (2:1:1).
Avocado grows very fast, it is better to grow it in a large dish, as it grows to large sizes.
Avocados are propagated in room culture by seeds (pits) and vegetatively by budding.
Possible difficulties:
The leaves begin to turn brown from the tips, and then entirely, and fly around, the plant becomes bare: The reason may be too dry air; during the heating season, frequent spraying with water at room temperature is necessary.
The leaves turn yellow and fly around: The cause may be a spider mite.
The color of the leaves is lost in the leaves, the leaves turn pale: The reason may be the lack of light. Adjust the lighting. If the plant long period in shading, then more light must be accustomed to gradually. In winter, lighting with fluorescent lamps is desirable.
Dry brown leaf tips: The reason may be too dry indoor air or lack of watering.
Avocado dries if the wrong transplant was carried out. IN this case we are talking about a transplant with a complete replacement of the soil, as a result of which the small roots of the root system of the flower are broken. They are involved in the process of water absorption. The plant is transplanted with a complete replacement of the substrate only if the latter is not suitable or a lot of salts have accumulated in it from watering with hard water. In all other cases, the plant is transferred with a little larger pot(the diameter of the pot should be 2-3 cm larger than the previous one).
If the avocado is transplanted and its leaves dry, proceed as follows: the plant is covered with a greenhouse. It may be ordinary plastic bag, but it should not touch the leaves. Under the greenhouse support high level air humidity by spraying. Reduce watering to a minimum, as the soil dries out slowly under the greenhouse. Do not place the plant under direct Sun rays, otherwise the leaves under the polyethylene will get burned. The greenhouse is ventilated every day for a few minutes. It is recommended to add epin to the spraying water once a week.
The leaves dry if the avocado is poured. The plant does not like overdrying of the soil, but overflow is detrimental to it. Before the next watering, the substrate in the pot should dry out by 3-5 cm, depending on the volume of soil. Otherwise, the roots will start to rot. If the earth in a pot of avocados is constantly wet, you need to remove the earthen ball from the bowl without violating its integrity, wrap it with newsprint and put the plant under diffused light. Thus, the earth will quickly dry out, excess moisture will go away. The roots are inspected for rot. If there are rotten roots, they are carefully cut off, but they try not to violate the integrity of the earthy coma. The avocado is returned to the pot. Watering is reduced, once a week watered with root solution. They pay great attention to spraying, it is possible with epin.
Why do avocado leaves dry if the watering regime is normal? This may be due to a lack of light or hypothermia of the plant. Avocado loves a lot of diffused light, and therefore it is placed near windows with south side houses that have light tulle or slight shading. If there is little light, then the avocado dries. What to do? Rearrange in a bright place, but without direct sunlight, spray abundantly.
If the plant has fallen under a draft or has been frozen and begins to dry, it is necessary to normalize the temperature of the content, provide a normal level of illumination and be sure to place the flower under the greenhouse, as described above.
Why does avocado turn black?
An avocado turns black when its roots begin to rot.. This is the result of regular waterlogging of the flower or too much pot volume. IN last case the roots do not occupy the entire area provided to them, the substrate dries out very slowly. From an excess of moisture, the roots rot. What are they doing? Avocados are placed under a greenhouse (described above), watering is carried out very rarely. If the lump to the pot is very wet, it is carefully removed without violating its integrity, wrapped in paper and dried in this way for 2-3 days.
Leaves turn black if avocados do not like growing conditions. This may be a lack of light, low humidity, or the plant is cramped in its pot. The last problem is easy to identify. It is necessary to remove the soil from the pot and if the lump is tightly braided with roots, a transplant is performed. The pot should be larger than the previous one by only 2-3 cm in diameter.
The leaves dry and turn black if the avocado is close to the battery in winter. There is very dry air, and therefore spraying is carried out. Ideal - 5 times a day, watered as the soil dries.
We sowed or planted most of the plants in the spring and it seems that in the middle of summer we can already relax.

“Each vegetable has its own time”, and each plant has its own optimal time for planting. Anyone who has experienced planting is well aware that the hot season for planting is spring and autumn. This is due to several factors: in spring, the plants have not yet started to grow rapidly, there is no sweltering heat, and precipitation often falls. However, no matter how hard we try, circumstances often develop in such a way that landings have to be carried out at the very height of summer.

Avocado - tender and capricious plant that needs proper care. Otherwise, the plant will begin to take on an unnatural appearance, leaf fall and further wilting are possible.
It often happens that avocados seem to be well looked after, and the plant grew healthy and strong for some time, and then, for unknown reasons, the leaves begin to dry out. What to do? Why is this happening? You need to know everything about this problem, otherwise it will not be possible to help your beloved plant!
Persea americana (avocado) naturally grows quite large. If the plant is planted in a small pot that compresses its roots and constrains it, some of the leaves begin to dry and fall off from time to time. In this case, you need to transplant the avocado into a larger container in advance to prevent the leaves from drying out and the partial drying of the crown.
Avocado leaves can dry out for other reasons. This may be wrong, or rather, insufficient lighting, which especially happens in winter, and improper watering, which should be “out of necessity” and necessarily moderate. The sun should hit the plant as much as possible, and the water during irrigation should have only room temperature. The soil in which avocados grow should never be even partially dry, but it should not be too wet either.
The plant reacts strongly to the temperature in the room and especially to the humidity of the air. The temperature should not be too hot in summer and too cold in winter. But the humidity of the air surrounding the avocado should be high, only then the leaves of the plant will have saturated colors, and in no case will they dry. To do this, you need to place moss or expanded clay in the tray of the pot in which the avocado grows, which should always be wet. Spray water regularly on top of the leaves and around the avocado.
In addition, avocados need to be fed periodically. The plant by nature has a rather impressive size, so it is natural that in artificial conditions many substances are not enough for him, the leaves, which gradually begin to dry, can testify to this.
If you do not follow these elementary rules for growing American Perseus, the plant may partially dry out, which will be evidenced by drying leaves. Usually, if the discomfort is not eliminated, the avocado grows sick and lethargic, it appearance and the forms want the best, and gradually the drying from the leaves will pass to the trunk itself, which will certainly lead to the death of the plant.
