What's the reason of succulents growing aerial roots, what to do?

There are four main reasons for its black leaves. First, watering too much, water will accumulate for a long time, affecting root breathing branches and leaves will be blackened, should stop water, but also more ventilation, loose soil evaporation of water. Second, the light is too strong, long-term exposure to direct light will sunburn plants, to move to the soft light management. Third, the temperature is not suitable, especially in winter low temperature, will frostbite appear leaf blackening phenomenon. Fourth, infected with pests, to cut off the leaves with pests, but also spraying drugs.

1. Soil drought

Reason: If the soil is dry for a long time, the fleshy leaves will be shriveled and lack water, and then on a rainy day with high air humidity, the fleshy leaves will grow aerial roots to absorb water from the air and maintain life.

Solution: water shortage should be timely replenishment, but not from the top down irrigation, the best way to use the immersion basin replenishment.

2. Soil hardening

Reason: If the soil is hardened and airtight, the watering is not permeable, the drought has cracks, and the fleshy root system does not breathe smoothly, it will grow aerial roots on the stems on the ground.

Solution: The compaction of fleshy soil should be replaced in time. Loose and breathable peat soil and perlite should be used in the soil. At least 50% of the granular soil should be mixed to plant fleshy soil to increase the air permeability of the soil.

3. Soil overwetting

Reason: If the soil is too wet, watering too much, resulting in fleshy root breathing is not smooth, it will grow air roots, water is serious when fleshy or even rotten roots.

Solution: When there is too much water in the meat, stop watering and ventilate more. If there is any sign of rotten roots in the meat, dig out the meat in time, cut off the rotten root system, and put it in a pot again after drying the root.

Fleshy

4. Attention

It is a normal phenomenon that the newly planted meat grows air roots in the period of serving, which shows that the meat is trying to adapt to the new environment.On the premise of fleshy growth, the maintenance air humidity is high, the stem lignification, fleshy will also grow air roots, regardless of the tube.
