The "3" common problems with succulents have finally found their "secret solutions" - brilliant!

Succulents encounter many problems during their growth, just like a baby must go through all kinds of viruses and bacteria to grow up. Today we'll talk about the four most common problems with succulents and include the secret solutions, so everyone can quickly treat their own succulents.

1. Bottom leaves turning yellow and drying up, abnormal leaf drop

The bottommost leaves of the succulent turn yellow, dry up and wither. Abnormal leaf drop in succulents is a very common problem. Aside from the succulent's natural metabolism, it can also be caused by insufficient light or temperatures that are too high.

To judge whether it's caused by insufficient light, check whether the succulent is also showing leggy growth; if it's caused by temperatures that are too high, there may not be any other symptoms. The way to handle it is to give the succulent sufficient light duration and strengthen ventilation, and you can use a fan to blow air over the succulent.

2. Blight

Succulents getting sick is also very common and a headache. Although spring and autumn are the peak seasons for succulent growth, they are also the peak period for succulent death. During this time, succulents are very prone to disease, and the main problem lies in air permeability and watering amount.

When the seasons change and it's hot and cold alternately, be careful not to give too much water, unless the succulent shows a sudden growth spurt, in which case you can give relatively more water. Once it gets sick, the first thing is to control water, then remove the discarded leaves, and place it in a breathable spot to let the succulent slowly recover on its own.

3. Root rot

Root rot is a very common problem with succulents. Once the root system rots, the succulent's plant cells cannot absorb nutrients normally, and the leaves will gradually wither and drop. The cause is mostly that the watering amount, the breathability of the pot and the environmental humidity are not coordinated.

The only way to handle it is to dig the whole plant out, trim the roots, and place it in a cool, breathable spot to dry for three or four days before repotting it.
