Editor / succulent plant sink

Many friends who like planting keep one or two pots of succulent plants at home. Because of their cute appearance, they are liked by many people.

However, in the process of planting, there will always be problems of one kind or another, such as the softening of the leaves, so what is the reason for the softening of the leaves?

How to solve this situation? The following are the reasons for the softening of meat leaves. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, don't worry, first find out why your meat is in this situation, and then deal with it according to the actual situation.

The leaves of the fresh meat became soft.

This situation generally does not need to worry too much, because the meat has just been on the pot, the new root system has not yet grown, and the plant is unable to absorb water. And the softening of the leaves (water at the loss point) increases the concentration of auxin in disguise, which is beneficial to the root formation of the plant, so it is not terrible for the leaves to be soft.

Meat friends can patiently wait for the meat to grow new roots. if they stay in this state for a long time or the leaves at the bottom are seriously dry, they can consider pruning the roots again.

Lack of water

Cause the meat leaves to become soft and wrinkle: not watering for a long time will also cause the meat leaves to become soft and wrinkle. In this case, it is necessary to replenish water to the meat in time, and excessive dryness of the soil may damage the roots of the meat.

Two days after watering, the leaves are still not full. Nine times out of ten, there is something wrong with the roots and need to be dug out to see if the roots are normal. This is usually caused by too many necrotic old roots affecting the water absorption of healthy roots.

The basin soil is too wet.

Lead to meat black rot, water: this situation should be timely cleaning water leaves, beheading, cutting off black rot, water parts and sterilization, drying and other treatment after re-planting.

Normal metabolism

Causing the succulent leaves to become soft and dry: the normal metabolism of the bottom leaves of succulent plants consumes the nutrients of the leaves, causing the bottom leaves to become soft and dry, which is a normal phenomenon. Completely dry leaves had better be removed in time to avoid rotting and attracting insects.

Meat dormancy period

Cause the leaves to become soft and dry: it is also a normal phenomenon for succulent plants to soften, dry and drop leaves during the dormant period. at this time, we should reduce the amount of water or cut off water, pay attention to ventilation in summer and maintain a certain temperature in winter.

Succulent dormancy period is a natural means for succulent plants to resist harsh environment. In order to protect the succulent plants with temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius in summer to completely stagnate and consume the nutrients stored in the body, the leaves will soften or even dry up. Dormant succulent plants should not be watered and placed in a ventilated and astigmatic place to return to normal growth after the weather turns cool.

Meat sunburn and frostbite

The foliage caused by water rot becomes soft: in this case, it is necessary to clean up the water leaves in time, behead, cut off the black rot, dissolve the water part and carry out sterilization, drying and other treatments before replanting.
