During the care process, many hobbyists encounter the issue of yellowing leaves in Mingyue succulents, which not only affects the plant's aesthetics but may also threaten its growth and health. This article will provide a detailed analysis of the reasons for the yellowing of Mingyue succulent leaves and offer corresponding solutions.
Reasons for the yellowing of Mingyue succulent leaves1. Improper water management
Mingyue succulents are sensitive to water needs, and excessive or insufficient water can cause leaves to turn yellow. Overwatering can lead to root积水 and cause root rot, while insufficient watering can make leaves lose water and become dry.
2. Insufficient lighting
Mingyue succulents enjoy plenty of sunlight. If they are kept in a dark environment for a long time, leaves will turn yellow due to insufficient photosynthesis.
3. Soil issues
Poor drainage, poor aeration, or compacted soil can prevent roots from breathing normally, which in turn affects leaf health.

The yellowing of Mingyue succulent leaves may also be caused by pests and diseases, such as leaf spot disease and mealybugs.
5. Unsuitable temperature
The optimal growing temperature for Mingyue succulents is between 15-25°C. If the temperature is too high or too low, leaves will also turn yellow.
