What to do when the leaves of succulents become soft and wrinkled
When we care for succulents, the leaves may become soft and wrinkled. So, what should we do? Let's find out below.
Solution to the problem of soft and wrinkled succulent leaves: Rehydrate
Succulents may have soft and wrinkled leaves due to dehydration. Although succulents are very drought-resistant, they do not completely dispense with water. When succulents cannot absorb water, they will consume the water stored in the leaves, causing the leaves to become soft and wrinkled. At this time, we should promptly rehydrate the succulents, and after a period, the leaves will recover.
Acclimatization Period
If our succulents have just been planted or repotted, it is normal for the leaves to become soft and wrinkled, because succulents do not absorb water during the acclimatization period. At this time, they can only consume the water in the leaves, so it is the same as dehydration. We can supply a small amount of water to the succulents, and they will return to normal after acclimatization.
Root Rot
Another common reason is root rot. When the leaves of succulents become soft and wrinkled and it is not during the acclimatization period and they are watered regularly, it is likely caused by root rot. At this time, we should take the succulents out of the pot and inspect the roots. If the root rot is not severe, we can trim the roots. If the entire root has rotted, we need to root it first and then repot.
