Last Updated: 2024/11/09, Friends who raise too much meat must also know that it is very difficult to spend the summer with too much meat. Especially those friends who don't like to deal with dead leaves, it means that you will have a lot of troubles, especially in the humid and humid environment of the rainy season.

Friends who raise too much succulent plants must know that it is very difficult for succulent plants to spend the summer. Especially those who do not like to deal with withered leaves, it means that you will have a lot of trouble, especially in the hot and humid environment of the rainy season, withered leaves are easy to accumulate water vapor, creating a stuffy, wet and unventilated environment.

In fact, both fungi and pests particularly like such a hot and humid environment, and sometimes you can create a shocking little empire in a very short time. Perhaps most meat fans know that these dead leaves should be cleaned, but some meat fans are lazy to clean up.

Some meat fans may think that succulent plants in the natural environment live in this way. So it doesn't matter whether we clean up the dead leaves or not, but we have to wait until the succulent plants in the natural environment (mostly live in dry conditions), these dead leaves at the bottom can play a necessary role in storing a small amount of water and maintaining succulent growth. But the succulent plants we breed on the indoor balconies are not short of water.

Especially in the south, where there is often a rainy season in summer and the breeding environment is hot and humid, we may cause plant diseases due to the wrong watering method. Solution: before removing the dead leaves of the plant, you need to stabilize the succulent plant, and then start cleaning, so as not to shake the root system of the plant. You can use disinfected tweezers if it is difficult to pull out by hand.

Note: when cleaning succulent withered leaves, you need to be close to the root of the leaf, pull it off from left to right, and if you find that the succulent plant is unstable after cleaning, you can hold a small object and wait for the succulent root system to grow again. It's fine (the wound needs to be sprayed with diluted carbendazim solution to prevent the plant from becoming infected with black rot).
