Succulent leaves are very thick and fleshy, and can also store a large amount of water, but why do some succulent leaves still turn yellow? Some succulents are yellow by nature, but some are not, and only develop it after being grown for a period of time. The main reason is that the succulent's root system has not yet grown out, so the succulent absorbs its own nutrients

Then, combined with being exposed to the sun for a long time, this affects the succulent's growth and causes the leaves to turn yellow. Too high a temperature also causes it, and watering too much obstructs root respiration, which leads to root rot, and water accumulation turns them yellow and can seriously lead to death. Watering is also a very important matter. Some succulents enter a dormant period in summer, so watering should be reduced

When watering, just keep the soil semi-moist; do not overwater. During the dormant period, succulents will drop leaves and also turn yellow. These are normal phenomena, so there is no need to worry. Just place them in a ventilated environment, preferably in a semi-shaded environment. This will benefit the succulent's health and allow it to safely pass through the dormant period
