3. Improve the soil: Choose a soil with good breathability and drainage, such as peat soil,珍珠岩 (pearl rock), etc., and regularly loosen the soil to promote root respiration.
4. Prevent diseases and pests: Regularly inspect the succulent plant and take measures promptly when diseases or pests are found, such as spraying insecticides or pruning diseased leaves.
Maintenance skills for scattered leaves of succulents1. Trim at the right time: When the leaves of the succulent are severely scattered, you can trim them appropriately to remove weak and diseased leaves, promoting the growth of new leaves.
