Recently, a flower friend asked that his fleshy leaves were always shriveled, and they didn't get better after watering. He asked the monster what to do. In fact, there are many kinds of conditions for the shriveling of the succulent leaves, which should not be solved blindly. The demon told you several reasons for the shriveling of the succulent leaves today. Come and have a look.~

Drying condition I: water shortage

This kind of situation basically has been seen by the flower friends who raise meat. It's also a sign that we usually judge to water more meat.

Generally because of the water shortage caused by the drying of leaves do not worry too much, as long as the timely replenishment of water, it will not be long before the vitality of it.

In addition, we should pay attention to the amount of water when we add water to the meat. When the pot soil is dry, pour it into the water, and then put it in a well ventilated and well lit place for maintenance.

Drying condition 2: metabolism

This kind of situation will appear on the fleshy surface which is easy to form old piles.

Some fleshy plants will consume nutrients when forming old piles, and some leaves that are not strong enough to grow will gradually shrivel.

The withered leaves will turn into dead leaves. The dead leaves should be removed in time to avoid rotting, attracting insects or spawning them.

Drying condition 3: humid environment

In autumn, the water evaporation is slow, and the leaves will be dried and watered if the soil is too wet.

We must control our hands at ordinary times. We should never water more. We'd better dry it rather than wet it. We should use toothpicks to insert it into the soil and pull it out. If it's still dry, we should water it again.

Drying situation 4: root problem

This is usually the case for the meat that has just been served. Just on the pot of fleshy haven't taken the pot, the root system is relatively weak, the absorption capacity is not good, resulting in the leaf shrinkage fold.

We can wait for a while for the newly planted fleshy plants. When the roots grow up a little, we will gradually get better. But if after a period of time, the condition of withered leaves still hasn't improved, then you can consider turning the basin to repair roots.

We take out the meat and soil lump together, shake off the soil, trim the rotten part of the root, and then put it in the basin again, and put it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance.

Drying case 5: lack of light

Lack of light in meat is not only easy to grow in vain, but also easy to dry and lusterless leaves. In serious cases, the stalks will have problems. If the flower friends have more light loving flesh, they must not put it in the shade.

In fact, in addition to the meat of twelve rolls, most of the meat is more light loving, such as Dongmei, Xingmei, Xuelian, bear boy, zizhilianhua, yinvxin, Dahe brocade and other meat can be safely dried in this season.

Drying condition 6: excessive fertilization

Although fertilization is beneficial to plant growth, it does not need too much fertilizer in the process of growth. Too much fertilization will have a negative effect. Succulent is easy to be damaged by fertilizer and leaves are shriveled.

When you buy or change the pot, you can add some slow-release fertilizer at the bottom of the soil, and cover it with soil with good permeability. In the later stage, you don't need to apply fertilizer to the meat.
