What happens after Yulu dries up?

Yulu is one of the most popular small succulent plants in China. the main reason for its popularity is that its leaves are crystal clear, transparent or translucent, like jelly, very cute. Many people who have planted jade dew have mentioned that their own jade dew leaves are slowly withered when they are raised, especially at the bottom. How is this going on? Pro-agricultural network below to lead you to understand: the reasons for the dryness of Yulu and the ways to restore it.

First, the reason for the withered leaves of Yulu

1. Root dysplasia

The newly acquired Yulu has the phenomenon of dryness. First of all, we should consider whether the root is not well developed. Because the root system can not absorb nutrients in the soil, Yulu will rely on the nutrients of the leaves to supply itself, so it will lead to leaf dryness. If you find that Yulu has not grown for a long time in the process of planting, and the leaves have shrunk phenomenon, you can consider digging out the jade dew for soil culture.

two。 Light

Yulu likes cool light environment, if the temperature is too hot, Yulu has been in the strong light environment, then it is possible to appear the phenomenon of leaf dryness.

3. Humidity

Many forums have introduced the methods of Yulu stuffy cultivation. Yulu stuffy cultivation is actually a maintenance method to provide Yulu with a high humidity environment. Yulu raised in a high humidity environment, the leaves will be more watery and full. if Yulu grows in an environment that is too dry and moisture can not reach the leaves, it is easy to dry the leaves.

4. Stagnant water

Yulu is a shallow root plant, which does not need a deep basin in the process of culture, and the soil should be loose and well drained. In the watering process to prevent the occurrence of stagnant water, because the basin soil stagnant water, jade dew is prone to rotten roots, leaves can not absorb nutrients, appear shrinkage, and then dry up and die.

5. Rain drenched

The leaves of Yulu are crystal clear and full, but this does not mean that Yulu can withstand the rain, because after the rain, Rain Water will slide down the leaves and gather in the roots, causing stagnant water to the roots and easily lead to rotting roots.

6. Be frozen

Yulu likes shade, but it is not hardy. Yulu cultivated indoors in winter will be frozen because of the low temperature at night, and the leaves of Yulu will be withered after being frozen.

Second, what to do with Yulu after it dries up

There are many reasons for Yulu's dryness, so the treatment methods are different after the discovery of Yulu's dryness. Pro-Nong.com summed up the following main methods:

1. If the leaves are withered due to excessive watering or rotting roots after rain, the plant can be directly dug out and replanted in pot soil. The newly replaced potted soil only needs a slight tide, the rotten roots should be completely removed, and some root parts can be peeled, so that the stems of the plants can be exposed, and the withered leaves also need to be cut off to prevent them from continuing to absorb nutrients, and then wait for the plants to grow roots again.

two。 The dried leaves caused by freezing also need to be cut off, for the same reason, put the plant in the sun, preferably behind the screen window or colored glass, because it is necessary to avoid burns caused by strong light.

Third, the growth environment of Yulu

Yulu is suitable to grow in a semi-overcast environment and likes to be cool. Its main growth period is the cool spring and autumn season, there should be a certain degree of air humidity, drought tolerance, drought tolerance, summer can not be directly exposed to the sun, nor can it be placed in shade for a long time, the following are the specific environmental requirements.

1. Temperature: Yulu is native to the warm and dry environment of South Africa, and the suitable temperature for growth is 18-22 ℃. During the period of high temperature in summer, Yulu is in a semi-dormant or dormant state and grows slowly, so it can be maintained in a ventilated and cool zone. In winter, the temperature is above 8 ℃ at night and over 20 ℃ in daytime. It can withstand 0 ℃ low temperature in a short time, but there are obvious signs of frostbite on the leaves. It is appropriate to keep the temperature above 5 ℃ during overwintering.

two。 Lighting: Yulu is more sensitive to light, too strong light will lead to poor leaf growth, light reddish brown, and even burn leaves; too shaded will cause Yulu plant type loose, not compact, long and thin leaves. The maintenance method is to add a layer of sunshade net in summer and remove the sunshade net from autumn to spring next year.

3. Soil: Yulu is suitable for growing in sandy soil with loose soil and good drainage. When 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 3 parts of coarse sand or vermiculite are commonly planted in mixed soil and mixed with a small amount of bone powder, the content of soil organic matter should be increased moderately.

4. Watering: watering during the growing period carries out the principle of "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly", no stagnant water, let alone rain, to avoid rotting roots. The dry period should not be too long, although Yulu is resistant to drought, the lack of water for a long time will lead to leaf dryness, and spraying water can be used to replenish water when the air is dry.

Fertilization: during the growing period, mature thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium can be applied to luxuriant plants once a month, new plants or weaker plants do not need to be fertilized, when the temperature is low in summer and winter, Yulu is in a dormant period, and there is no need to apply fertilizer at this time, and the fertilization time is usually in the morning or evening when the weather is clear.

The above is the pro-agricultural network introduced to you about Yulu leaf withering reasons and corresponding measures, the leaf is the main part of Yulu ornamental, once the emergence of desiccation will greatly affect the value of Yulu, I hope this article can bring some reference value for flower friends.
