What to do if the leaves of Yulu are not transparent and look black
The editor will tell you how to deal with the problem of Yulu's leaves not being transparent and looking black, as well as the methods to make Yulu leaves transparent in the aspect of green plants and flowers. Next, the editor will provide you with detailed answers.
Yulu, as a type of succulent, is relatively special in the succulent community. Its appearance is special, and the growth of its leaves is even more special. Unlike other succulents, its leaves do not turn red after being exposed to sunlight. Instead, the leaves of Yulu turn gray, a dirty gray, when exposed to the sun.
Any plant, whether exposed to the sun or not, will show a completely different state. Plants exposed to the sun usually have higher vitality because most plants need strong sunlight during their growth period. Appropriate sunlight can accelerate plant growth, but Yulu is different; it does not require sunlight.
Anyone who has ever cared for Yulu knows that after placing it in the sun for two days, the originally green leaves turn gray, and if exposed for too long, they can even turn black. The leaves turn black due to the strong sunlight, with the intensity of ultraviolet radiation being too high, turning the leaves black.
What to do if the leaves of Yulu are not transparent and look black
There are many techniques and tips for caring for Yulu online, and many bloggers share their experiences. Regarding how to make Yulu leaves more transparent, many people use the闷养 (sealed cultivation) method, either covering it with a plastic bottle or preparing wet wipes and spraying water to cover Yulu. Both methods are actually nonsense, as Yulu's discoloration is caused by excessive sunlight, not a lack of humidity.
Solving the problem of Yulu leaves turning black is actually very simple. Buy a piece of sunshade net for a few dollars online and use it to cover Yulu. By using the sunshade net to reduce the intensity of sunlight and ultraviolet radiation, the reduced intensity of exposure will naturally make Yulu leaves transparent.
It is not recommended to adopt the method of sealed cultivation for succulent plants. It has no effect. Spraying wet paper towels and covering them on Yulu leaves is even more nonsense. Yulu needs to perform photosynthesis. If the leaves are completely covered with paper towels, preventing sunlight from reaching them, the leaves will become elongated within a few days.
