Succulents dying for no apparent reason? Watch out for these three causes

Lately, many succulent growers have said that the succulents they cultivate always end up dying off by more than half without them realizing it. After hearing this news, the editor immediately asked them what exactly was causing their succulents to die.

But the grower surprisingly could not even explain the reason for the death, so the editor summarized three mistakes that often occur when growing succulents. It may be because of these three points that your succulents die, so please take note!

Point one: The environment

First, when growing succulents, we need to pay attention to what soil we are using, whether it is nutrient soil bought from the market or soil casually dug up from the mountains, and also how the growing environment is. Whether the soil we use when growing is relatively moist or dry, and whether the light exposure is direct light or scattered light!

Point two: What is the basic condition of the succulent

When growing succulents, we first need to see what variety the succulent we are growing actually is, and then we can look up what kind of environment this type of succulent plant likes best. When planting it, how long does the succulent need to establish itself in the pot, and we can also check how firm the leaves of our succulent are to see whether there are signs of water shortage.

When growing succulents, the most common situation is discovering that after the succulent we bought is potted for just a few days, its root system still keeps failing to grow. If the succulent does not grow roots, then it cannot absorb water, which causes its leaves to deteriorate more and more until it finally dies.

Here the editor will teach everyone a surefire trick: when I have just bought a succulent, be sure to let it air and dry outside more, first wait until the wounds it suffered from repotting have healed, and only then water it. Also, after the succulent has been potted, we can use the soaking method to replenish water for it.

Point three: How the succulent is being cared for

This point is the most important situation when growing succulents. First, to determine why a succulent is growing well or not, we need to look at how our daily care is, our watering habits, and so on. When caring for succulents, be sure to remember the last time we watered the succulent, when we fertilized, and when we repotted, all of which need attention!

If we are beginners growing succulents, poor results often happen, but at this time we should not be sad. We should observe the growing methods of other succulent lovers. After all, growing plants is not a short-term matter, and it still requires long-term practice. Thank you all for reading. If you find it useful, give the editor a like!
