What to do when the leaves of the Sedum tree become soft
Sharing with everyone how to deal with the softening of Sedum tree leaves and the introduction of green plants and flowers for solving the problem of soft and withered leaves. Let's learn about it together below.
What should we do when the succulents become watery? The leaves become soft for no reason, what's going on?
The precursor to black rot in succulents is becoming watery. In the hot season, whether placed indoors or outdoors, the Sedum succulents can silently turn into a watery state. What exactly causes the leaves to become watery? There are two main reasons: excessively high temperature and excessive watering.
The direct issue causing the leaves of succulents to become watery is due to excessive water absorption. When watered too much, the leaves of succulents absorb a large amount of water and store it. Combined with the high temperature of summer, the increased water temperature inside the leaves causes the succulent leaves to become watery.
In the four seasons of the year, it is only during the hot season that succulent leaves are most likely to become watery. If the watery leaves are not dealt with promptly, they will soon rot and become blackened, starting from the watery leaves to the main stem, which will gradually turn into a state of black rot. Transparent leaves must be removed promptly, and in severe cases, the top needs to be cut off.
Most of the watery succulents are mother plants, because the mother plants have more developed root systems and stronger absorption capacity. Once watered too much, the roots will continuously absorb water, causing the leaves of the mother plant to become very plump. Combined with the ultraviolet radiation during the day, some leaves naturally become soft.

In the summer, it is essential to control the watering of succulents. Watering should not be excessive unless the succulents are placed in an air-conditioned room or under a fan. In a low-temperature environment with good ventilation, succulents will not become watery. Low temperature keeps the water temperature inside the leaves at a low state, preventing the leaves from being cooked.
High temperatures are beyond human control. What we can do is minimize watering and keep the succulent leaves in a wrinkled state with less internal water content. Even with higher temperatures, there is no need to worry. When there is no water, succulents consume the water stored in the leaves, and the bottom older leaves will slowly be used up.
Raising succulents in the southern region of China is quite challenging because the high temperatures last for a long time and the rainfall is abundant. Outdoor succulents are prone to summer survival difficulties. If they can't survive the summer, half of the succulents have already died. Therefore, more advanced care experience is required. The final outcome of raising succulents depends on the individual.
When planting succulents for the first time, it is also best to choose peat soil, which is rich in nutrients and helps succulents develop stronger resistance. Sprinkling water in the summer and maintaining slight moisture can meet the succulents' water needs. If planted with granules, the roots won't absorb nutrients, leading to weak resistance and making the succulents more prone to becoming watery.
