The best time to break off leaves of succulent plants

1. The best time to break off leaves

The best time to break off the leaves of succulents is before watering. At this time, the leaves do not contain much water, and the growth points on the leaves are not easily destroyed. However, if you break the leaves after watering, there will be more water in the leaves, and they will be easily damaged. Also, don't water the plant immediately after breaking off the leaves. It's best to wait until the wound heals before watering. In addition, it can also be done when repotting.

2. How to break leaves

1. Before breaking off the leaves, you should pinch them with your hands first. It is best not to have any leaves on the outer layer of the leaves during this process. If there are any leaves, it will affect the normal falling of the leaves.

2. Place your fingers at the base of the leaves and press down appropriately, that is, press the leaves down. Finally, shake the leaves left and right and they can be easily broken off.

3. Notes

When breaking off leaves, remove the outermost leaves first, otherwise the space will be very small and other leaves will be damaged, and you will not be able to use enough force to break them off.
