The leaves of Kalanchoe become soft and curled, how to trim them

1. What causes leaves to become soft?

1. Lack of water: Kalanchoe is a plant that likes a humid growing environment. Try to give it sufficient water during normal care. If it lacks water, the leaves will become soft.

2. Too much light: The same situation will occur if the plant is exposed to strong light. Strong light will also cause excessive loss of water. If watering is not done in time, the leaves will become soft and wilt.
