100 pots of succulents turned into five-spice roast meat, hurry and rescue them before only the pots are left

Summer is really hard on succulents, and they can drop dead if you're not careful... Just the other day, Huahua heard the bad news again: a friend's 100-plus pots of succulents all ran into trouble overnight, some dead, some damaged, all kinds of problems. Sigh, today let's take a look at these symptoms and treat them one by one!

Succulents turn into air-dried meat

Cause: Succulents generally store water in their leaves. In summer the sunlight is strong and evaporation is fast, so the leaves easily dehydrate and dry out. If it is especially dry, the whole plant can wither away in a short time.

Solution: Use a spray bottle to spray water above the succulents. Be careful not to spray directly at the succulents; just spray into the air to raise humidity and lower temperature. It is best to do this in the morning to ensure air humidity for the day and reduce water evaporation from the succulent leaves.

Succulents turn into boiled meat

Cause: Watering too much and temperatures that are too high "steam-cook" the succulents. This is actually water-soaking. When you see the succulent leaves turn transparent and fall off at a touch, they have become boiled meat, and you must rescue them quickly!

Solution: Remove the water-soaked leaves and keep only the good leaves, then put the plant in a ventilated place and do not water! In severe cases, you can dig it out, check whether the roots have rotted, cut off the rotten roots, soak them in carbendazim water to disinfect, then dry the roots in a cool place for 1 day, and replant.

Succulents turn into meat buns

Cause: The succulent has gone dormant. The main sign is that it turns into a bun shape. This is normal and means it is being very good~ Of course, conditions differ by region. For example, your Mountain Rose has wrapped up, while hers has not yet, so you must analyze the specific situation!

Solution: After the succulent wraps up, gradually reduce watering. For example, first water once a week, then once every 10 days, then once every half month... until the weather cools and the leaves begin to open up, then you can slowly return to normal watering. During dormancy, it is best not to remove dead leaves, as they can protect the plant.

Succulents turn into preserved mustard greens

Cause: In summer, if you water too much, or if there is high moisture on rainy days, succulents easily suffer root rot and black rot. The leaves turn black, grow fuzz and rot. If not handled in time, it will quickly spread through the whole plant.

Solution: The appearance of black rot means the roots have already rotted. It is best to dig out the succulent, cut off the rotten roots, and soak it in carbendazim for 15 minutes to disinfect. Pour 1/2 clean water into a narrow-necked bottle, fix the succulent at the bottle mouth without letting it touch the water surface, and use the water vapor to encourage rooting. The success rate is higher.

Succulents turn into flatbreads

Cause: The succulent leaves curling downward with no bun shape at all is also because the succulent has become leggy. The gaps between leaves are large, and strong evaporation from the leaf surface causes them to droop. If you leave it alone, it will grow uglier and uglier!

Solution: To control legginess, first control your hands and water less. If you are afraid the succulent will be thirsty, you can spray water into the air to raise humidity. Also, give it sun. In summer, the morning and evening sunlight can shine directly on succulents; just provide shade at noon.

Succulents turn into five-spice roast meat

Cause: When watering, if water lands on the succulent leaves and forms beads, light passing through them can scorch the succulent, forming patch after patch of sunburn spots. You should know that refracted sunlight can even burn ants to death!

Solution: When watering, try to water into the soil and do not sprinkle it on the succulents. If you need to mist, choose a spray bottle with strong pressure so the mist is finer. When the sunlight is strong, you must shade them even more to avoid too much damage from light refraction.

Succulents turn into little green vegetables

Cause: Many flower lovers shade their succulents as soon as summer comes, or simply move them indoors. Because of the lack of light, the succulents immediately look pale and vegetable-like, no different from green vegetables.

Solution: If your succulents have always been grown outdoors, they are less likely to turn into green vegetables; just remember to shade them at noon. If your succulents have always been balcony or indoor plants, it is best to give them sun in the morning and evening, water less, and "control" the color out~
