The reason for dried-up leaves on the succulent Crassula 'Money String' is very simple; let me teach you how to grow plump, chubby succulents
Part of the Money String has dried up, what should you do? What is the cause?
Money String is also a type of succulent; its leaves, one by one, are strung on a stick like copper coins, which is how it got the name Money String. In the same genus as Money String, there are many, such as Crassula 'Jade Necklace' and Crassula 'Star Prince'; they all belong to the same genus, look quite similar, and their care methods are the same too.

During the care of Money String, it often happens that one or several leaves dry up directly, and some leaves also develop dry scars. These situations are very common and are the ones most likely to appear on it. If you find it is not very serious, you can leave it alone. You just need to mix mancozeb with water and spray it once to prevent it.

If black-brown spots appear on the leaves of Money String and gradually dry up, this situation is mainly caused by high humidity, that is, you are growing it indoors with poor ventilation and high air humidity, or when you spray water it lands on its leaves and the moisture does not dry for a long time. This will form patches of brown spots, which finally dry up. For any plant, maintaining good ventilation is the key to growing it well. If indoor ventilation is poor, spray the leaves with mancozeb once a month, which can play a preventive role.

When a leaf of Money String occasionally dries up, most of the time the cause is lack of water. Everyone thinks succulents should be watered less, but any plant needs water to grow. Sometimes when we cannot keep up with watering and do not water even after the potting soil dries, over time its poorly growing leaves may dry up. This situation often occurs with succulents. On the premise that the soil is loose and breathable, once the soil has completely dried out, just water it thoroughly directly. Long-term lack of water will cause small leaves and poorly growing leaves to shrivel and dry up.

There is another situation: just after summer, in the indoor environment where we grow it there is no light, and suddenly taking it to a place with plenty of light easily sunburns its leaves, forming patches of brown spots on the leaves, which finally dry up. For succulents, increase light gradually: give it one hour of light one day, two hours the next day, and gradually increase it this way, letting it have a process of adapting to light. Suddenly putting it directly under the sun easily sunburns the leaves.
