What to do if the leaves of the swallowtail palm become soft

The reason why the leaves of the swallowtail palm become soft

In fact, the softening of leaves of the Crassula ovata is a common phenomenon when transplanting plants. This is mainly because the roots are damaged to varying degrees during the repotting process. Root damage will weaken the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients. In severe cases, it may even be unable to absorb. The plant will then enter a state of dehydration, and the leaves will slowly become soft without the maintenance of water.

Solution:

You can trim off all the old, diseased and insect-infested leaves on the lower part of the plant. This can reduce water waste and increase the survival rate. Don't take other measures blindly at this time. Just wait for the roots to return to normal and the leaves will slowly become plump and tender.

Reason 2

After repotting and watering, leaving the bird's eye palm in the sun will cause it to dehydrate, which will not only make the leaves soft but also seriously affect its survival rate after repotting.

Solution:

First, move the plant to a well-ventilated place with scattered light or semi-shade. This will allow the Kuailaoka plant to return to normal. The soil should not remain moist for a long time. When watering, observe the soil first. Only when there are cracks on the soil surface or it is slightly white can you water it. If the soil is not dry, watering is strictly prohibited. Watering when the soil is completely dry is very effective in restoring normal growth.

All plants will have different problems when they are repotted, and the leaves of the Crassula will gradually become soft after being repotted, so it will take a few days to return to normal, so we don't need to be too anxious.
