What if the leaves of Star Beauty turn yellow and lose their leaves?

Star beauty is a kind of succulent plant, with thick and small leaves, with high ornamental value, and is deeply loved and sought after by everyone. I believe we all know that most succulent plants are very easy to maintain, but there are also many flower friends who yellowed and lost their leaves when raising star beauties. Why?

What if the leaves of Star Beauty turn yellow and lose their leaves?

In general, it is high humidity, usually watering frequently, humidity is easy to rot roots, it will be like this, dry soil does not matter, succulent plants generally like light, especially resistant to drought and less watering.

How to water the star beauty

1. Watering in different seasons is usually the best time for it to grow in autumn and spring. At this time, we must give it enough water, but we must not water it too much, or it will be easy to cause pots. As long as it is dry, we can water it, and if we don't, we don't need to water it again. But when it comes to summer, especially when the temperature is particularly high, we no longer need to water it, because it is when it is dormant, so if it is watered at this time, its roots cannot be absorbed, so we must stop watering it. In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, it will also enter a dormant state, so it is also necessary to stop watering at this time, otherwise it will have the opposite effect, as long as it is watered normally in other seasons.

2. when watering is generally rewatered according to weather changes, we should water it according to the weather conditions in the south and north. In the north, the climate is relatively dry, sunny days are more and less rainfall, so at this time the water will evaporate faster, so we can water a little more times. But in the south, there are more overcast and rainy weather, at this time the humidity of the air will be very large, and the evaporation of water will be relatively slow, so we can pour less water.

3. Different flowerpots are made of different materials, and the amount of water we use in our daily life is different. If the flowerpot you use is made of plastic or porcelain, then the water permeability will not be very good. The number of watering must be reduced. But if you use pottery pots or earthen pots, then we can appropriately increase the frequency of watering, because this kind of basin has better air permeability and water evaporates faster, so it's okay to pour a little more water on it.

The maintenance skills of Star Beauty

Basin soil: change the basin every 2 years, in spring. When changing the basin, the withered leaves and overlong fibrous roots at the base of the plant were detected. Do not touch the fleshy leaves with your hands during operation, otherwise it will leave fingerprints or obvious touch marks. A mixture of rotten leaf soil or peat soil and coarse sand.

Watering: water once a month in early spring and autumn, stop watering in winter, and keep the basin soil dry. If the pot soil is too wet, the fleshy leaves are easy to grow or rot.

Fertilization: fertilize once a month during the growing period, using diluted cake fertilizer or pot flower special fertilizer. Spend the winter in a sunny place. The old plant with Lignification of stem is suitable for pot ornamental modeling.
