What if succulent plants grow new roots and are exposed to the air?

The roots of succulent plants are exposed to the air, also known as air roots. Long air roots indicate that there are problems with the roots, including inability to support the main body, lack of oxygen, lack of water, lack of fertilizer and so on. If you are a new species, exhaling roots is a good phenomenon, and plants are slowing down their roots. If you are the angry root of the old plant, then you might as well combine the above reasons to find out the problem.

Succulent air roots are generally slightly transparent white, generally growing on branches close to the soil, or on leafy branches or leaf rhizomes in the middle, but there are also a few parts growing on the succulent head. The small white air root is generally slender and has good extensibility, but it can not replace the main root for absorption and metabolism, and it will immediately dry up and die in a dry environment, but whether it is growing or dying after growth, it does not have much impact on the plant. In a sense, the gas root is still a good sign, so don't be nervous to see the air root grow on your own succulent root.

Some succulent roots may be caused by the lack of water in the soil. If the succulent roots are too dry to absorb water, air roots will grow on the succulent branches to absorb water in the air to maintain growth. So this is to remind you that the soil is short of water, so water the succulent plant quickly.

Succulent plants are easy to grow air roots when they are top-heavy, which means that succulent plants are in a state of self-protection. Close planting of succulent plants is also more likely to exhale roots. Generally speaking, for succulent plants, crassulaceae succulent plants are easy to grow air roots, especially jade hanging bell, winter beauty, rainbow jade and so on. And for some succulent plants, air roots appear because of their normal Lignification. After all, succulent plants also have longevity. As the succulent plant grows older, the root system loses its vitality, and the stem at the bottom slowly becomes woody.

In late winter and early spring, some old plants like to grow air roots, which may be because you cut off water in winter to make it dormant, but it has ended dormancy and even sent out new leaves and new branches. at the same time, the air humidity is greater than the soil humidity, and plants can not absorb water, so they produce air roots to replenish water. In this case, you can end the water cut off to gradually replenish water.

Some succulent aerial roots may not only be lack of water in the soil, but also because the succulent stems are completely necrotic due to black rot caused by the invasion of Fusarium oxysporum. Although the superficial succulent plants look good, the roots are necrotic.

If your natural conditions are good enough, you can grow good plants without much thinking or even random breeding. Succulent plants are already strong, but if your natural conditions are not good enough, it is particularly important to learn principles and explore your own practices according to principles and practice. Don't compare yourself with others who raise you better, but whether you can do better under known conditions.
