What to do if the leaves of Croton become soft

1. Rehydrate in time

Reason: The leaves of Croton become soft, probably because of lack of water. Long-term lack of water will cause the entire plant to lack water. Without sufficient water support, the leaves will naturally become soft.

Measures: Water needs to be replenished in time, but it must be under normal growth conditions. Apply water appropriately and wait for the roots to absorb it, and the leaves will naturally recover.

2. Prune the roots

Reason: If you pay attention to applying water regularly but the leaves are still soft, it may be because there is a problem with the roots. If you give it a lot of water, it will only make the situation worse.

Measures: Check the condition of the roots, prune the roots appropriately, cut off dead and rotten roots, and improve the ability to absorb water and nutrients.

3. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

Cause: If the roots are infected with pests and diseases, the bugs will suck the sap and also cause the leaves to become soft.

Measures: Pay attention to prevention and timely ventilation, and spray pesticides in time after insect pests are found.

4. Reduce light

Reason: The sunlight in summer is relatively strong. If the leaves are accidentally exposed to the scorching sun, they will lack water and become soft.

Measures: In summer, block light in time, avoid exposure to strong sunlight, and spray water appropriately to keep moisturized.
