Why does red silk melt into water?

1. Insufficient sunlight

The red silk may be molting because of insufficient sunlight, which makes it difficult to synthesize nutrients, causing the leaves or stems to become translucent and waterlogged. It is a sun-loving succulent and is suitable for growing in places with good light, so it must be given enough sunlight on a daily basis.

2. Too much water

Excessive water is one of the main reasons. If too much water is added, it will cause a large amount of water to accumulate at the roots. The roots will be unable to bear it, thus causing waterlogging and problems for the entire plant. In addition to excessive watering on a daily basis, it may also be due to the stimulation of rain, causing a large amount of water to accumulate in the pot. If you find a large amount of water accumulated in the potting soil, you need to drain the water in time and place it in a well-ventilated place to promote evaporation.

3. Low temperature frostbite

The succulent red silk plant cannot tolerate low temperature environments. If the temperature in winter is too cold and it is not moved indoors in time, it may melt. Be sure to pay attention to the temperature range in winter and move it indoors for maintenance in time.
