3 reasons why succulent plants produce dead leaves. The second one must be cleaned decisively. The third one must not be cleaned.

Some novice friends who are new to the meat pit may be at a loss when they see the dry leaves of succulent plants for the first time, and they don't know what happened to the meat. Next, small exquisite life with you to learn several reasons for the formation of dead leaves of succulent plants and treatment methods.

First, the causes of withered leaves

1. Normal metabolism

In the growth process of succulent plants, the lowest leaves will gradually dry up, which is a normal phenomenon. Like Roegneria and Sedum with thick leaves, the dry leaves will fall automatically, while the dead leaves of the genus Stony Lotus will generally be firmly attached to the stem and will not fall.

Most friends will clean up the dead leaves in time when they see them, but some friends will not clean them up for one reason or another.

If the withered leaves are not cleaned in time, especially in the sultry summer, the dead leaves accumulated after watering are likely to produce a humid environment, or even become a hotbed of scale insects, resulting in the black rot death of succulent plants. Therefore, the dead leaves produced by normal metabolism must be cleaned up in time.

2. Foliar water

In the humid summer, it will cause the foliage to turn into water, and the foliage will also cause the fleshy leaves to look dry. Once you encounter the situation of dehydrated leaves, you must resolutely and decisively check the health of the whole plant meat and take measures, otherwise it will be better. Let's not talk about whether the leaves of Huashui carry infectious bacteria, but the leaves of Huashui alone are a humid environment. Therefore, we must not hesitate in such a situation.

3. Dormant period

For succulent plants such as mountain roses, the outermost leaves will wither during the dormant period. at this time, the withered leaves are a kind of protection for the dormant succulent plants, so don't clean them up. In addition, pay attention to water control, watering as far as possible along the edge of the basin, do not let the water touch the dead leaves.

Second, the cleaning of dead leaves

If the dead leaves of succulent plants with normal metabolism are cleaned up all the time, it would be better; if they have not been cleaned for a long time and accumulated a lot, they can be cleaned up at once according to the following methods:

Pay attention to stabilizing the meat when cleaning the dead leaves, so as not to hurt the roots of succulent plants because of the shaking of external forces.

After the withered leaves are cleaned up, if the succulent plant is top-heavy and unstable, you can first find something to support the column and flesh, and wait for the root system to grow firmly.

If scale insects are found during cleaning, it is recommended to spray and irrigate roots with 1000 times Huashen diluent as early as possible. Pay attention to put it in a cool and ventilated environment after taking the medicine, and do not have direct sunlight.

After cleaning up at one time, you should get into the habit of cleaning at any time, and don't save it until the next time it is too much.
