Deciduous vs Evergreen
Short definition
Deciduous plants drop all their leaves at once each year, while evergreens keep leaves year-round and shed a few at a time.
In a mild climate like Dubai's, many plants behave in between: they may drop leaves in the hottest or coolest weeks and regrow soon after.
Why it matters
A leaf-drop is not always a problem. Check the pattern, the season and the soil moisture before assuming the plant is unwell.
