Friends who have just entered the meat pit will almost want to stare at their beloved meat all the time, want to see every change of it, and every Yichang of meat will be afraid. In this process, some friends often find that their meat leaves have become soft, so what are the reasons for this phenomenon in Zhecheng? Does it matter if the leaves get softer? Next, Little Fine Life will analyze with you the reasons for the softening of leaves:

First, the leaves of succulent plants that have just come into the pot become soft.

Generally speaking, the newly bought meat will trim the root and dry the wound before putting it on the pot. some of the meat is not watered at the beginning of the pot, even if it is watered, the new root system of the meat has not yet grown, so it is difficult to absorb the water from the basin soil. Therefore, we can only rely on the water and nutrients stored in the leaves to maintain their metabolism. At this time, the leaves will become soft due to the lack of water. Generally, after the new roots grow out in the pot for a week, they will be restored by watering once. So don't worry about this situation.

But if the meat is in this state for a long time, and the leaves at the bottom are seriously dry, turn over the basin to check the growth of the root system, and then do the corresponding treatment.

Second, normal metabolism

In the normal growth process of meat, with the birth of new leaves, the old leaves will slowly soften from the bottom to dry up, this is not to worry, is the normal metabolism of succulent plants. Dry leaves will eventually fall naturally, it is best not to worry about it, because when it falls naturally, the wound between the dry leaves and the stem is healed. Of course, if you dislike to affect the image of the flesh, you can remove it by hand after the leaves have dried up, and there is no problem.

Falling old leaves if too much accumulation in the flowerpot may cause diseases and insect pests, so it is necessary to clean up the old leaves accumulated in the flowerpot in time.

Third, succulent plants in dormant period

Due to the difference with the climatic environment of the place of origin, in the seasonal environment which is not suitable for meat growth, meat will have a dormant period in order to protect itself. At this time, the meat will stop growing completely, consume the nutrients in the body to survive, wait until the right season or environment, and then wake up and grow again. The phenomenon of softening, drying up and falling leaves during this period is also normal, don't worry.

In the dormant period of succulent plants must stop watering or a small amount of watering, summer must be shaded and ventilated, winter should be warm and ventilated.

Fourth, the leaves of succulent plants become soft and wrinkled due to long-term water shortage.

The drought tolerance of meat is generally strong, and it is basically no problem without watering for a week or two. Are there any suitable watering methods for succulent plants in the articles before the exquisite life? This watering is suitable for most areas as it has been written that the softening and wrinkling of the leaves of normally growing meat is a sign of water shortage, so you can rest assured to water boldly at this time. Two or three days after normal watering, you will find that the meat is more round and fuller.

However, if the basin soil is too dry for a long time, it may damage the root system of the meat, so don't blindly overcontrol the water.

Fifth, the basin soil is too wet to cause succulent black rot and turn water.

If the drainage of the basin soil is poor, coupled with frequent watering, the basin soil will be too wet for a long time, the meat roots can not breathe and the rotten roots will rot, and the leaves will turn into water.

If this happens, we must get rid of the water leaves in time, eliminate the black rot part or directly behead, and then sterilize, air drying and other treatment after re-planting. And the water must be controlled and well ventilated in the follow-up.
