Dutch term or phrase: knallen de blaadjes er van af

poco contesto. si sta parlando della Schlumbergera, pianta costosa e dalla difficile coltivazione: "Zodra ze iets te nat staan, knallen de blaadjes er van af."

non riesco ad interpretare il verbo afknalle nel contesto. definizione encyclo: 1) Afschieten 2) Doodschieten 3) Fusilleren.

mi viene in mente semplicemente "cadere", ma mi sembra lontano...

qualche suggerimento?

grazie in anticipo!

Italian translation:le foglioline cadono stecchite

Explanation:
Normalmente afknallen dovrebbe indicare il getto rumoroso di un oggetto, per es. un libro su un tavolo. Sembrerebbe trattarsi di un'esagerazione per dire che le foglie si seccano al punto da cadere facenodo rumore, stecchite appunto.

le foglie cadono a manciate

Explanation:
in questo contesto interpreterei 'eraf knallen' più come un'inarrestabile perdita di foglie. Non una caduta violenta quindi nel senso del movimento delle foglie, ma nella sua conseguenza. Non c'è santo che tiene insomma...
