Many people say that raising succulent plants has a healing effect, but the editor thinks that sometimes raising succulent plants can also bring a lot of trouble. For example, winter beauty is easy to lose its leaves in summer, which worries a lot of people as a good-looking winter beauty. How on earth should the winter beauty lose her leaves in summer? Let's have a look together!

How to deal with succulent plant winter beauty losing leaves in summer

1. The soil quality is getting worse. When the basin soil is hardened and becomes hard, in the case of neither air nor water, the root system of the plant can not only breathe normally, but also can not absorb nutrients normally. Winter beauty growing in such an environment will naturally have growth problems, and the most direct manifestation is the loss of leaves.

Solution: if it is really caused by the deterioration of the soil, we need to loosen the soil in time, and if necessary, we can replace it with some soft soil.

2. Lack of light. Light is necessary for everything to carry out photosynthesis and promote metabolism. If the potted winter beauty is placed in a dark environment for a long time, the plant will not be able to carry out normal photosynthesis to promote metabolism due to lack of light. It will naturally appear the phenomenon of poor growth, mostly manifested as the loss of leaves.

Solution: for the winter beauty who has been in the shade for a long time, providing light for it also needs to be provided step by step, not from the dark place directly to receive the full light, after all, the plant also has a process of adaptation, otherwise it may be counterproductive. Therefore, to provide it with light is also a gradual increase in time and intensity, especially to avoid direct glare.

3. Improper watering. If it is watered too much, or when the season changes too much, it may cause the phenomenon of falling leaves. Even if you don't fall by yourself, as long as you touch it gently, it will fall immediately.

Solution: the watering of Dongmei usually has to wait until the topsoil in the basin is dry, otherwise there is no need to replenish it. Watering needs to adhere to the principle of "no dry or no watering", especially in summer, we must pay attention to the frequency of watering.

The Culture method of Winter Beauty

1. Soil: the most suitable soil for winter beauty breeding is the soil with loose and good drainage, and the general flower friends choose to use the soil mixed with peat, perlite and cinder. In order to isolate the soil from the plants, they will choose to use river sand or pumice to lay on the soil.

2. Watering: the winter beauty is drought-tolerant, so the occasional drought and lack of water will not affect its normal growth. Generally, it is not watered until its surface is dry, and it can not be watered when it is still moist.

3. Beheading: when the winter beauty grows to a certain extent, the stem of her plant will be too long. Beheading is a way to make it more beautiful. Because the unbeheaded winter beauty will always grow and will not grow lateral buds, but after beheading, it will begin to grow lateral buds, making the plant more beautiful. Decapitated leaves and naturally fallen leaves can be propagated by leaf insertion.

4. Reproduction: there are generally two ways of reproduction of winter beauty, namely, cutting and leaf cutting. Its principle and method of operation are similar. The leaves are inserted into the leaves in the shade to prevent them from being inserted into the potted sand a few days later. After watering, the leaves can take root and survive, and then transferred to the pot. The two methods are similar, but leaf insertion is easier.
