What to do if the leaves of Yulü are not transparent
The editor provides netizens with solutions on how to deal with the opacity of Yulü leaves and shares some gardening tips about Yulü cultivation. Let's follow the editor to check out the specific content!
Yulü actually comes in many varieties, all sharing a common feature: transparent windows. Most Yulü varieties have relatively transparent leaves, while a few exceptional ones have chlorophyll covering the transparent windows. Among succulents, Yulü is a rather unique existence, requiring a different approach to care compared to other succulents.
A good Yulü can be judged from several aspects, such as the size of the plant, the number of leaf layers stacked, and the transparency of the leaves. The diameter of most Yulü plants is about 8 centimeters, with some varieties growing to over 10 centimeters, which takes a long time. The growth cycle of an adult mother plant requires at least four years.
A good plant necessarily requires some time and experience to accumulate. The Yulü plants currently accessible to us generally have a diameter of about 5 centimeters, which is relatively small. If kept at home and nurtured for three to five years, they will naturally grow larger. A good Yulü should have a diameter of at least 8 centimeters, with leaf layers reaching six or seven, and the windows should be sufficiently transparent.
What to do if the leaves of Yulü are not transparent
The most common problem encountered when growing Yulü is the opacity of the leaves, causing the leaf color to turn gray, making the whole plant look dull. The main reason for the opacity of the leaves is excessive sunlight, with the intense ultraviolet radiation from the sun's rays burning the leaves. The solution is quite simple.
Yulü prefers natural sunlight and requires direct sunlight. If the intensity of direct sunlight is too strong, it will definitely burn the leaves. When cared for indoors, you can use a shading net or place the plant on a north-facing balcony to prevent it from receiving too strong sunlight. After two weeks, the leaves will recover and turn green again.
Among succulents, few prefer a semi-shaded environment, but Yulü is an exception, thriving in such conditions. Here we need to note an issue: the blackening of Yulü leaves is caused by excessive light intensity. If you live in the north, where the current temperature is relatively low, Yulü can still be green and lush when placed on a balcony in the sun because the intensity of ultraviolet radiation in the north is relatively low. Even without shading, the leaves of Yulü remain transparent.
