daphne odora

Question

My Daphne has lost all its leaves but has still flowered this spring. It was fed last year with a solution containing iron, but still no leaves. Is it time to dig it out and start again?

Answer 1

If your Daphne recently flowered, it is probably doing fine, and the leaf drop is just a temporary problem. Sudden temperature changes or an inconsistent water supply could cause leaf drop. Also, check your plant for any visible pests.

Here are some general reasons a plant may drop its leaves:
