Too much watering will make the soil too moist and the roots cannot breathe. This will lead to root rot; too little watering will make the soil too dry and the roots lack water, leading to root death.
Solutions: 1. Control the watering frequency: Reasonably arrange the watering frequency according to the growth stage and climatic conditions of succulent plants. Normally, water every 2-3 days in summer and every 5-7 days in winter.
2. Choose soil with good water permeability: Use soil with good air permeability, such as peat soil, perlite, etc., to help maintain the moisture balance of the soil.
3. Avoid standing water at the root: When watering, try to make water flow out from the bottom of the flowerpot to avoid standing water at the root. Reason 2: The soil is not suitable for unsuitable soil is also one of the reasons leading to fleshy reproduction and rotten roots. Succulent plants like soil with good permeability and strong drainage. If soil with poor permeability is used, it is easy to cause root rot.
Solution: 1. Choose soil with good permeability: peat soil, perlite, etc. mentioned above.
2, add base fertilizer: add appropriate amount of base fertilizer in the soil, such as bone meal, rotten leaf soil, etc., to improve soil fertility, while improving soil structure.

Succulent plants need sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis. If the light is insufficient, the plant grows slowly and the resistance decreases, and rotten roots are easy to occur.
Solutions: 1. Provide sufficient light: Place succulent plants in sunny places, such as balconies, window sills, etc.
2. Use growth lights: In the case of insufficient light, you can use growth lights to provide light to succulent plants.
