What should I do if the bear boy leaves become soft?
As a favorite cute plant for meaty lovers, the soft and drooping leaves of the Bear Boy are always worrying. Through three major diagnostic directions, this paper systematically analyzes the causes of leaf softening and provides corresponding rescue plans to help you quickly restore the plump state of Bear Boy. Bear Boy's Leaf Softening Diagnostic Guidelines Typical manifestations of water imbalance When the basin soil is completely dry for more than 5 days, Bear Boy will signal a lack of water through the softening of the leaves. At this time, the dipping basin method needs to be used to replenish water: immerse the flowerpot in water until the soil surface is moist, take it out and drain it after 2 hours. The leaves can gradually regain their elasticity within 3 days. Root health inspection process Observe the root status after removing the pot: 1. White fibrous roots: Healthy root systems can be repotted 2. Brown soft roots: Rotten roots need to be dealt with immediately 3. Lignified taproots: It is recommended to keep 5cm healthy stem sections for normal aging plants without treatment of rotten roots, soak them in carbendazim and dry them for 3 days, and replace them with a new substrate with perlite: vermiculite =2:1 for cuttage. Conservation countermeasures for special periods: key points for dormant period management When the temperature continues to exceed 30℃, the bear boy enters summer sleep. At this stage, you should: ·Move to the north-facing window sill to maintain scattered light·Control the water to a trace amount of watering once a month·Keep the temperature difference between day and night <8℃·Suspend fertilization until it is cool in autumn. Daily maintenance and preventive measures suggest adopting the "three-look watering method": Look at the weather (delayed rainy weather), look at the basin soil (irrigated until it is fully dry), and look at the leaves (slightly wrinkled). The soil is allocated according to the ratio of granular soil: peat soil =7:3, and a special cactus fertilizer diluted 2000 times is added once a month in spring and autumn.
Through scientific diagnosis and precise intervention, 90% of Bear Boy's leaf softening problems can be effectively solved. The key is to establish a periodic inspection system to observe leaf hardness every week, check root condition every month, and adjust maintenance strategies based on seasonal changes so that your bear boy always remains full and cute.
