Improper watering, insufficient light, soil problems, pests and diseases attack environmental factors With the popularization of succulent plants, more and more flower friends are beginning to maintain these lovely little lives. Sometimes we will find that the originally vibrant fleshy suddenly becomes soft. It makes people worry, why does the fleshy suddenly become soft? This article will reveal the five major reasons why succulent plants suddenly soften and provide corresponding countermeasures. Improper watering is a key link in maintaining succulent plants. Too much or too little will cause the succulent plants to soften. Too much watering will cause water to accumulate in the soil, causing hypoxia in the roots, which will cause the succulent plants to soften. On the contrary, insufficient watering will cause the succulent plants to lose water, causing the leaves to wither and soften.
Countermeasures: Maintain a reasonable watering frequency and avoid too much or too little watering. When high temperatures in summer, the number of watering can be appropriately reduced; when low temperatures in winter, the number of watering can be appropriately increased. Succulent plants like plenty of sunlight that lack of light can cause their growth to slow and their leaves to become weak.
Countermeasures: Place succulent plants in sunny places, such as windowsills, balconies, etc. If conditions are limited, use a fill light to fill in the light manually. Soil problems Soil is the basis for the growth of succulent plants. Poor soil permeability and poor drainage can cause succulent plants to soften.
Response measures: Select soil with good permeability and strong drainage, such as peat soil, perlite, etc., and regularly replace the soil to maintain the permeability and drainage of the soil. Invasion of diseases and insect pests is a common cause of softening succulent plants, such as scale insects, whiteflies and other pests, as well as diseases such as black rot and soft rot.
Response measures: Regularly inspect succulent plants, deal with pests and diseases found in a timely manner, and use pesticides, fungicides, etc. to prevent and control them. Environmental factors Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, etc. will also affect the growth status of succulent plants. High temperature and high humidity environments will make succulent plants soft.
Countermeasures: Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity, avoid placing succulent plants in excessively humid or dry environments, and take appropriate measures such as shading and ventilation when high temperatures in summer.
There are many reasons why succulent plants suddenly soften. Flower friends need to analyze them based on the actual situation and take corresponding measures to maintain them. As long as you take care of them carefully, succulent plants will surely glow with vitality. Here, I would like to remind the majority of flower friends, pay attention to the growth status of succulent plants, discover and solve problems in a timely manner, and let these lovely little lives accompany us to spend a good time.
