Recently many readers have reported that after summer arrives, the succulents they grow just stop growing, and there are no new buds at all. Not only that, these succulents tend to turn black, rot, and "wear skirts." They ask if I have a way to solve this. Actually it's not hard at all. Just do one small thing and none of these problems will be problems anymore! And it doesn't just solve these issues, it can also quickly turn them into old stems!

Many people report that during the growth of succulents, the leaves at the very bottom easily dry out and wither, commonly known as "wearing a skirt." Over time they easily rot. Many people don't pay much attention to this phenomenon and think it's normal, but actually it's not. When this happens, try to clean up these dirty parts, promptly remove the slightly dried leaves, and try not to let rot occur!

Another point is also very important, and that is to ventilate frequently, because the main reason the bottom rots is that there is no ventilation after watering! Because moisture will slowly breed bacteria, and naturally it will rot.

Old leaves of succulents are also the main culprit for easy rotting, because old leaves can't absorb nutrients and will slowly dry out, so if you find them, clean them up in time, and then the leaves won't grow slowly!

Promptly clean up the yellow leaves and dry leaves at the bottom of the succulent, and you'll find that new buds will soon burst out. Even for succulents that don't easily sprout new buds, they'll sprout much more than before. Actually it's not that they won't sprout, but because those places already had bud points. Once the dry leaves are removed and the rotten parts are also cleared away, those new buds will grow out. After saying all this, it's really just a small method for turning succulents into old stems. Just remember a few key tricks: pull off dry leaves early, don't let wet leaves pile up at the bottom, ventilate frequently, and don't keep them wet. Generally there won't be any more problems!

This method is simple, right? Go back and try it. If there's anything you still don't know, tell me in the comments below!
