Why do succulent plants not have to clean up dead leaves in a natural environment? Because succulent plants that live in the native environment do not have natural nutrients, these dead leaves at the bottom can help plants accumulate a small amount of water to maintain the normal growth of succulent plants. However, when we raise meat indoors, especially in the southern region, due to changes in the culture environment, succulent plants themselves live in a superior environment, so withered leaves may become hotbeds for pests, especially when seasons change or the summer rainy season. Withered leaves are easy to brew into big risks.

In summer, the leaves at the bottom of succulent plants often appear dry and fall, transparent water phenomenon, the former belongs to the normal succulent plant metabolic process, and do not need to worry about anything, after the leaves completely dry can be easily removed, take it off and drop it, the withered leaves accumulated for a long time are easy to catch diseases and insect pests, especially in summer, which is easy to cause a closed and stuffy environment, so it must be cleaned up.

When cleaning up dead leaves for succulent plants, it should also be noted that the state of dead leaves is also different. do not move those dry leaves that are not easy to remove, and those that are forced to tear off will hurt succulent plants, while those that have completely dried up, or leaves that have fallen on flowerpots, must be cleaned. Layers of withered leaves, coupled with the mass of pests, can easily infect succulent plants with black rot. And even if the vitality of blue stone lotus is very tenacious, its growing point and even the whole plant are easy to rot slowly.

If you find the fallen leaves, you should clean them as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be easy to clean up the fallen leaves on the plants. If you find the fallen leaves that are not easy to clean, do not rush to pull them with your hands. This will damage the flowers. Try to be careful. If you can't clean up, you can wait for a few days to clean up. Fix the body of the succulent plant with your hands, and then clean up the fallen leaves in the flowerpot or soil. Try to clean up gently and delicately, not too hard, and use tweezers to take out the fallen leaves one by one. But do not hurt the roots when using tweezers, and do not leave tweezers in the flowerpot.

Succulent plants brought back from flower markets and greenhouses must be treated by changing soil and pots, especially some black rotten leaf soil or yellow mud, which is very bad to grow succulent plants at home and must be thrown away. While changing the soil, you can also check whether there are "scale insects" or other diseases, and the root system of the plant can also be seen, which can be adjusted according to the state of the plant. Of course, if you make sure that the soil is clean and pest-free, the soil can also be reused.
