1. Soil compaction
Succulents like loose, slightly acidic soil with smooth drainage. During the growth period, if the soil is compacted, it is easy for the succulent roots to grow poorly, and it is also prone to water and rotten roots. In this case, the succulents are likely to cause the leaves to fall off with the touch.
Soil recommendations: Above, Jie Rong said that succulents like loose, smooth-draining slightly acidic soil, so when we breed succulents, how much soil can be mixed with mulch, peat soil, sand, and cinder. You can also add some vermiculite, perlite to the soil, so that the ratio of granular soil to soil is 4:6.
Some flowers are used to make the succulent shape better and drain more smoothly. Most of the granular soil is used to raise the succulents. In this case, the succulent growth will become very slow, and the growth is not very good. Good, so we can add more mixed soil appropriately, as long as the drainage is smooth, the fleshy state will be good.
2, succulent rotten roots
succulent rotten roots are related to our usual watering and fertilization. When many flower lovers are raising succulents, they hope that the succulents will grow faster, fatter, and in better condition, so they can't help but fertilize and water the succulents. In fact, succulents belong to flowers that don't like fat or too much water, so they are prone to rotten roots.
Watering management: When we usually water the succulents, when the succulents grow vigorously, we can wait until the soil is mostly dry before watering once, and don’t let too much water in the flowerpots to prevent succulents. Rotten roots appear.During the slow growth period, less watering is needed.
In the rainy season, you also need to move the succulents to a sheltered place to prevent too much water in the flower pots, which may cause the succulents to appear rotten roots.
Fertilization management: We need to pay attention to the fertilization of succulents. Usually, during the period of vigorous growth, you can apply a thin liquid fertilizer to succulents every 20 to 30 days. And when fertilizing, you need to apply thin fertilizer. Also, during the slow growth period in summer and winter, it is necessary to stop fertilization to prevent the occurrence of fertilizer damage and root burning.
3. The temperature is inappropriate
Succulents like warm environment, most of the suitable temperature for growth is 15 to 28 degrees, and it can tolerate 5 degrees of low temperature in winter. When it is too low, the fleshy leaves are prone to frostbite. In this case, the fleshy leaves fall off at the first touch. However, when the temperature is too high in summer, the succulents will grow slowly or semi-dormant. In this case, the succulents are also prone to leave the leaves falling when touched.
Keep warm in winter: In winter, when the temperature is around 5 degrees, we can move the succulents to the room for maintenance. The indoor temperature is controlled above 5 degrees to prevent the succulents from frostbitten and fallen leaves.
Cooling down in summer: When the summer heats up, succulents grow slowly, which can easily lead to various discomforts. We can keep succulents in a well-ventilated place when the temperature is high in summer.When the temperature is high, in the evening, use cold water to spray the succulents condescendingly and parallel to the surroundings. This will not only reduce the temperature, but also create a temperature difference, which will help the succulents increase their color.
Succulent leaves fall when touched, mainly related to the above 3 points, as long as we understand the real reason, and then cleverly deal with it, we can make succulent leaves fat Fatty, steadily growing on it. Succulents have fallen leaves, and we can also use them for cuttings, so that one pot becomes more pots, and the pots are beautiful.
