Succulent leaves are crumpled, and if they are watered like this, they will not survive for more than 3 days!

Why succulent plants are wrinkled

Succulent wrinkled leaves are short of water, but watering is useless, on the contrary, it speeds up the process of succulent death. What went wrong?

1. If the amount of water is not enough, the leaves are not full.

In summer, everyone watered the succulent plant carefully for fear that the dormant succulent plant would be killed, so they poured a little water. Coupled with the high temperature and rapid evaporation, the water evaporated before it reached the soil.

2. The soil is airtight and the roots cannot absorb water.

Many flower friends use peat soil and garden soil to grow succulent plants, which are neither breathable nor permeable, and the succulent roots become dry, even if they are watered, they cannot be absorbed, and much watering can only rot away.

3. The flowerpot evaporates quickly and dries immediately.

The fastest evaporation in the flowerpot is the clay pot. Although it is relatively breathable, it is placed in the balcony and other ventilated places in summer. It evaporates quickly and cannot hold water.

4. Water is poured on the leaves, and the sun focuses on burning succulent plants.

Many flower friends are used to pouring water on the leaves, thinking that they can drink water faster, but in summer the light is strong and the water drops on the leaves like a magnifying glass. the sun focuses on the leaves and immediately burns the leaves, leaving purple scars.

From this point of view, although Ye Zi wrinkle is short of water, it is not so simple. How can we make the leaves drink water? Hurry up and learn some tricks.

Change the basin and soil

In summer, it is best to use granular soil, such as green zeolite, Maifan stone, perlite, gravel (preferably sterilized first), mixed with a little garden soil or nutrient soil.

If more water is poured, it is easy to be waterlogged in summer, and less water is not enough. These stones are not only breathable but also can store water, which can not only protect the root system from water bubbling, but also ensure that succulent plants will not die of thirst.

Flower friends who are still using pottery pots can be replaced with porcelain flowerpots, especially the small succulent ones, which are so small that how much water they pour with pottery pots evaporates immediately. Change the pots quickly.

Soak the basin in time

Once you find that the meat leaves are wrinkled, soak the basin quickly for rescue, preferably before 10:00 in the morning, or after 7 o'clock in the evening, the temperature is too hot at other times, and the soaking basin is easy to become "boiled succulent".

Find a plastic pot to add some water, put in the succulent plant, do not add too much water, just go to the position of succulent flowerpot 1 hand 2

Soaking pot can quickly increase the humidity of succulent plants and make the leaves drink water at once. It is a first aid method.

Puffy nourishment and moisturizing

This method is more practical for succulent leaves that require a lot of water, especially the jade dew, longevity, Guizhi and so on in the twelve rolls. Their leaves evaporate quickly and are easy to shrivel and wrinkle.

Find a plastic bottle, cut the bottle at the waist, put the upper part of the bottle in a flowerpot, covered with succulent, so that it is a simple moisturizing greenhouse.

It is best to use a plastic bottle with a large mouth, so that the ventilation effect is good and the hot weather can avoid being stuffy.

The lower half of the plastic bottle can also be used to poke several small holes for ventilation.

Small succulent plants can be used in disposable plastic cups, preferably transparent, and can be observed in time, otherwise mushrooms will grow.

Stuffy cultivation mainly uses the principle of greenhouse to improve the humidity of the environment and reduce the water evaporation of succulent leaves. It also has the function of sunscreen in summer.

Spray humidification

Watering succulent plants in summer is really tangled, watering the soil is afraid of waterlogging, watering leaves are afraid of being burned by the sun, Huahua still recommends spray watering, which not only works well but also saves trouble.

Small spray bottles used at home had better spray effect. Cosmetic spray bottles can spray fog-like water vapor.

Spray on the top of the succulent plant one morning and one night. You don't need too much. A bottle of 10ml water can spray a pile of succulent succulent plants. The main purpose is to increase air humidity and make succulent leaves evaporate less.
