What should I do if the leaves of Euphorbia obesa are soft? What is the reason for the leaves to wilt?

1. Increase lighting

The Euphorbia obesa is a plant that likes light. If it grows in a relatively dark environment, the plant will not be able to carry out photosynthesis, which will cause the leaves to become soft. In this case, you need to place the plant in a sunny place so that it can receive soft light. It should be noted that it is not resistant to strong light, so it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise it will affect its development.

2. Appropriate cooling

The growth temperature of Euphorbia obesa is above 15℃, but not more than 35℃, otherwise the high temperature will accelerate the loss of water in the plant and cause the leaves to soften. In addition to providing shade in the summer, good ventilation must be maintained. You can also spray water around it appropriately. This can lower the temperature and prevent poor plant growth caused by high temperatures.

3. Pay attention to watering

The water demand of Euphorbia obesa itself is not high. If you water it too much, it will easily affect the breathing of the roots and make the leaves soft. In daily maintenance, you must control the amount of water you use. Usually, you only need to water it thoroughly after the soil is completely dry. If there is water accumulation, you need to drain the excess water immediately and ensure ventilation.

4. Reasonable fertilization

The Euphorbia obesa requires certain nutrients during its growth, so it needs to be fertilized reasonably. Lack of nutrients will also make its leaves soft. During the growing period of the plant, fertilizer should generally be applied once every half a month, 4-5 times in spring, and 2-3 times in autumn. Stop applying fertilizer during the hot summer season and in winter, otherwise the fertilizer will damage the root system.
