Know the habits of plants. Succulent leaves are crumpled. What's the reason?

The succulent plants in the pot environment, as long as the plants grow normally, often show good ornamental value, giving people the overall impression that the plant type is plump, the leaves are thick, exquisite and lovely. Once the plant has poor growth, it is mostly reflected by the leaves. One of the more common phenomena of succulent plants is that their leaves are crumpled and very ugly.

Pot-raised succulent plants have wrinkled leaves, which usually fall off as soon as they are touched. This will not only reduce the ornamental value of potted plants, but also affect the normal growth of plants. So what happened to the wrinkled succulent leaves? What is the cause?

When the leaves of succulent plants are crumpled, it is generally because the plant does not get water replenishment in time and consumes the previously stored water in its leaves. When the water in the leaves decreases, it will naturally appear crumpled. This is a manifestation of plant dehydration, which needs to be saved in time. But first we need to find the cause of dehydration.

When many potted friends encounter the phenomenon of wrinkled succulent leaves, the first thing that comes to mind is the lack of water, so they pour water through it so that they can have a full drink as soon as possible. Sometimes it may be effective, and the plant will soon stretch out its leaves and become thicker and thicker, but sometimes it may make the wrinkled leaves worse.

When succulent plants are short of water, if the root system is intact and watered, it can generally return to its normal growth state very quickly. However, if the basin soil is hardened, the permeability is too poor, or the roots have been damaged, and then a large amount of water is watered for it at this time, not only the roots of the plants can not supply water normally, but also the leaves of the plants will become dehydrated and wrinkled more seriously.

Therefore, if we encounter the wrinkled leaves of the plant, although it is a manifestation of lack of water and dehydration of the plant, we should not water it blindly. Instead, it is necessary to find out whether the poor permeability of the soil makes it impossible for water to penetrate the soil or whether the roots of the plant are damaged and cannot absorb and supply water normally.

It can be said that the wrinkling phenomenon of succulent leaves is mainly due to the lack of water, which is mainly due to the inability of the roots to absorb and supply water normally, while the roots can not absorb water. It may be mainly due to the basin soil is too consolidated, poor permeability and water can not penetrate the soil, or because the roots are damaged.

Therefore, in order to save the plant and let its leaves grow back into a lovely chubby image, we first have to judge whether the basin soil is too hardened or the roots of the plant are damaged. However, whether it is potted soil consolidation or plant root damage, it is recommended to change the soil for the flowerpot and replant. But if it is rotten root, it must be dealt with scientifically according to the process of rotten root. That is, the process of removing the basin, pruning the root, sterilizing, drying the root and putting on the basin. After that, provide it with a good environment suitable for slow seedling, and do not rush to water, so it is appropriate to use fluvo-aquic soil planting when potting.
