Succulents are loved by many people because of their unique morphology and low maintenance requirements. However, even the easiest to maintain succulents can have some problems, such as shriveling. This is a common phenomenon, but there are some simple ways to remedy it. Below, let's take a look at the causes of succulent shriveling and how to remedy it.
1. The cause of shriveled flesh.
The main cause of shriveled plants is insufficient or too much water. If the soil is too dry, the succulent leaves lose water and become shriveled. Conversely, if the soil is too wet, the succulent roots may rot, causing the plant to be unable to absorb water and the leaves will also dry up. In addition, lack of nutrients, insufficient or excessive sunlight, and unsuitable temperatures can also lead to shriveled meat.
2. Remedies for shriveled meat.
Check the moisture: First, check the moisture of the soil. If the soil is too dry, it needs to be watered. If the soil is still wet, then it is likely that the roots are rotting and you need to stop watering and check the roots.
Replace the soil: If the soil is too dry or too wet, it may be because the soil is not well drained. In this case, well-drained soil should be replaced.
Provide proper light: Succulents need the right amount of light to photosynthesize and produce nutrients. If there is not enough light, it will cause the flesh to shrivele. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the succulents receive the proper light. In general, 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day are required.
Control temperature: Succulents prefer warm environments, but too high or too low a temperature can affect their growth. Therefore, it is important to control the temperature and avoid exposing the succulent to extreme temperatures.
Fertilization: Succulents do not require a lot of fertilizer, but proper fertilizer can provide the necessary nutrients to promote the growth of succulents. Specialized succulent fertilizers can be selected and fertilized according to the instructions.
Pest and disease control: Succulents can also dry up if they are attacked by pests and diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the health status of the succulents, and once pests and diseases are found, timely measures should be taken to prevent and control them.
III. Conclusion.
Shriveled is a common phenomenon, but as long as the cause is found and the right remedies are taken, succulents can be restored to health. In the process of maintaining succulents, it is necessary to pay attention to the growth of succulents, adjust the maintenance methods in time, and provide a suitable growth environment for succulents.
