This article will discuss in depth the reasons why succulent leaves are easy to fall off, and provide corresponding prevention and control measures to help you solve this problem. Reasons why succulent leaves are easy to fall off 1. Improper water management Succulent plants have relatively low demand for water. Too much or too little water may cause leaves to fall off. Too much watering will lead to hypoxia in the roots, which will affect the normal growth of the leaves; if too little watering will cause the leaves to lose water, causing the leaves to wither and fall off.
2. Succulent plants with insufficient light need enough sunlight to carry out photosynthesis. Lack of light will lead to poor leaf growth, which in turn will cause leaf shedding.

Excessive soil hardening, poor drainage or insufficient nutrients may cause leaves to fall off. Prevention and control measures 1. Optimize water management According to the growth habits of succulent plants, reasonably control the watering frequency and amount of water. The number of watering should be reduced in the high temperature season in summer, and the watering frequency should be appropriately increased in the low temperature season in winter.
2. Provide sufficient light and place succulent plants in sunny places, such as balconies, window sills, etc. In the case of insufficient light, artificial light filling equipment can be used.
3. Control the temperature to keep the indoor temperature appropriate to avoid too high or too low temperatures. When the temperature is high in summer, appropriate sunshade measures can be taken; when the temperature is low in winter, pay attention to keeping warm.
4. Prevent pests and diseases Regularly inspect succulent plants, take timely measures when pests and diseases are discovered, use pesticides, fungicides, etc. to prevent and control, and pay attention to keeping the environment around the plants clean.
5. Improve the soil by selecting soil with good air permeability and strong drainage, and regularly replacing the soil to ensure sufficient soil nutrients.
