Excessive watering and excessive watering is one of the main reasons for yellowing of fleshy pot soil. The demand for water by fleshy plants is relatively low. Excessive watering will lead to hypoxia in the roots, which in turn causes root rot and yellowing of the pot soil.
2. Poor soil permeability Poor soil permeability will cause the roots to fail to breathe normally, thus affecting the growth of succulent plants. If the soil accumulates water for a long time, the oxygen in the soil will be exhausted, causing the roots to rot, which in turn causes the basin soil to turn yellow.
3. Succulent plants have a higher demand for light due to insufficient light. Being in a dark environment for a long time will lead to slow growth of succulent plants, thinning of leaves, and gradually yellowing of pot soil.
4. Improper fertilization. Too much or too little fertilization will cause yellowing of the succulent soil. Too much fertilization will make the salt concentration in the soil too high and affect the growth of succulent plants; while too little fertilization will not meet the nutritional needs of succulent plants.
