Star anise gold plate leaves: leaves are mostly caused by human management errors

Illicium verum is an evergreen shrub of Acanthopanax family. Its palmate lobes are about 8 pieces and appear to have 8 horns, hence the name "star anise gold plate". Because the leaves are evergreen all the year round, and the leaves are like green palms, they are of high ornamental value, so they are often used as indoor foliage plants or hall and venue furnishings.

It should be noted that the fertilizer should be applied after the new buds sprout, and the water should be kept moist.

2、 Whether to keep it in shade for a long time: although it can endure shade, it can't keep it in shade for a long time. Otherwise, the leaves can't carry out photosynthesis and there is not enough nutrition supply, which will lead to malnutrition and leaf loss.

Treatment method: the potted plants should be transferred to the half shade with scattered light in time for maintenance, and the base fertilizer should be applied appropriately to accelerate the recovery.

3、 Whether watering too much leads to rotten roots: if watering too much, the water can not be drained away in time, the roots will be soaked and rotten slowly, and then the leaves will fall.
