What to do when the leaves of the jade tree become withered and soft
A small knowledge of life, introducing the first aid methods for the withered jade tree and the related knowledge of what to do when the leaves of the jade tree become withered and soft, let's take a look together.
The first situation that causes the leaves to become soft is severe dehydration, although the jade tree belongs to the succulent plants.
Although it is relatively drought-resistant, if we cultivate it with garden soil and do not water it for a long time, the whole plant will be dehydrated, and the leaves and branches will become wilted and soft.
Once found, it is necessary to supplement it with water immediately to ensure that it can absorb water quickly and recover quickly.
Generally, in home cultivation of jade trees, watering is very simple. Once the potting soil is completely dry, it should be watered thoroughly to avoid root damage and the occurrence of dry or rotten roots, and the leaves will not become wilted.
The second situation is that there is a problem with the root system, for example, if the roots of the jade tree we are raising become dry or rotten, the potting soil is wet, but the roots cannot absorb water, eventually causing the whole plant to become wilted. If you do not lack water.
If the leaves are still soft and wilted, it is necessary to repot and remove the rotten and dry roots, then let them dry for two to three days to allow the wounds to heal before planting again. After watering thoroughly, it will quickly grow new roots and restore the fullness of the leaves without becoming soft or wilted.
The third situation is most common in the winter in the north, as the jade tree is very sensitive to cold and does not tolerate low temperatures. If the temperature is below 5 degrees, or even below 0 degrees, the main stem of the whole plant will become frostbitten, and the leaves will also become wilted due to low temperature.
If your jade tree is placed in a low-temperature area and becomes like this the next day, if only the leaves are frostbitten, cut off the leaves and place them in a warm place.
After the main stem recovers, it can grow new leaves. If the whole plant is frostbitten, it will be impossible to save and should be discarded.
The jade tree is relatively easy to grow at home. We just need to ensure that the temperature does not drop below 5 degrees, preferably above 10 degrees, place it in the sunniest area, water it thoroughly when the potting soil is dry, and fertilize it 1-2 times a month during its growing season.
We should use as many element fertilizers as possible to keep it healthy. After a few years, a small seedling can grow into an old stake.
[Summary]
Although the jade tree can be semi-shaded, if the lighting in the care environment is insufficient, the leaves will not be thick and full, becoming relatively thin and delicate. Also, if the leaves cannot breathe well, they will naturally become soft.
In addition, the jade tree dislikes direct sunlight, especially when the temperature is high and the UV radiation is strong. If it is exposed to direct sunlight, it can easily cause leaf sunburn and softness.
The above shares the first aid methods for the withered jade tree and a comprehensive introduction to what to do when the leaves of the jade tree become withered and soft, hoping to bring some relevant knowledge to the netizens.
