Succulents Turning Yellow and Turning to Water? If They Dry Out, Do This to Have a Fighting Chance

Succulents easily turn to water in summer. What is going on?

Friends who grow succulents generally encounter succulents turning to water, especially after rain. It is caused by sudden changes in the environment, stuffy heat and humidity. There is also long-term growth in an unsuitable environment, insufficient light, poor ventilation, humid climate, etc. Succulents that have turned to water generally start from the bottom leaves; the leaves begin to become transparent, and the whole plant gradually takes on a transparent appearance.

Cause Analysis

In fact, most succulents live in the relatively harsh environment of deserts, where water is scarce year-round, so as long as there is water they absorb it desperately. In a potted environment, if there is too much water, succulents may turn to water because they absorb too much.

Remedial Methods

1. You need to check the degree to which the succulent has turned to water. ① Only a few leaves at the bottom have turned to water; ② The leaf core of the succulent has become transparent; ③ The roots and stems, the entire plant, have already turned to water.

2. If only a few leaves at the bottom have turned to water, remove the leaves that have turned to water, then control the amount of watering, and expose it to more sunlight.

3. If the leaf core of the succulent has become transparent, you need to cut off the head of the succulent, then place it in a ventilated spot to slowly heal.

4. If the roots and stems, the entire plant, have already turned to water, there is no way to remedy it, and it must be dealt with promptly. Succulents turning to water easily develop black rot, which is a terminal illness for succulents, so deal with it as soon as possible to avoid spreading the infection.
