If the temperature is too high or too low, and the light is insufficient or too strong, the leaves may fall. Coping strategies 1. Control the watering frequency According to the growth stage and climatic conditions of succulent plants, reasonably control the watering frequency. Spring and autumn are periods of vigorous growth of succulent plants, so the number of watering can be increased appropriately; summer is high and humid, so watering should be reduced; In winter, low temperature and little rain, watering should be controlled.
2. Maintain good soil drainage and choose soil with good air permeability, such as peat soil, perlite, etc., and regularly check soil drainage to ensure that water can be discharged in a timely manner.
3. Properly adjust the watering method and use the dipping basin method to water to allow the water to fully penetrate into the soil to avoid excessive watering. Be careful not to directly pour on the leaves when watering to avoid causing the leaves to rot.
4. Pay attention to environmental factors. Adjust the light and temperature appropriately according to the growth needs of succulent plants. In high or low temperatures, pay attention to providing a suitable environment for succulent plants.
