What to do if the leaves of a young girl are rotten

Causes of leaf rot in female chicks

Overwatering

This is the main reason. Novices do not know the proper amount of watering. They water too much and the soil in the pot is too wet. If they water too little, the soil will easily become compacted, which will affect the growth of the root system. Once the roots begin to rot, the leaves will be the first to suffer, and it is only a matter of time before they rot, become waterlogged, and wilt.

Overexposure

There will be no leaf rot in the early stage after exposure to the sun. The leaves will become translucent and have spots, and then they will wilt and rot step by step.

Suffocating

This situation often occurs in the summer when the temperature is high, the sun is strong, the humidity is high, and the plants are kept indoors without proper ventilation. If the weather changes suddenly, there will be a strong wind and it will be cool, but it will be hot again after a few days. The young girls will also follow the weather in perfect sync!

Pests

If the plant grows too densely and the leaves inexplicably begin to rot from the base one day, you need to check whether it is caused by insect infestation. The gaps between the leaves that you cannot see are actually full of insect infestations.

Clean up rotten leaves promptly

Once rotten or dead leaves appear, clean them up in time. Don't think that they can be recovered. There is no hope. After cleaning, be sure to stabilize the plant and do not damage the root system. If you accidentally pull out the roots, you can use a small object to secure them first, allowing the roots to stretch naturally and recover slowly.

Here is a reminder, don't take chances, remove the dead leaves that should be removed quickly, just like those who should leave should leave...

Paving is important

Why do succulents need to be paved? After each watering, the surface of the soil will be very moist. Once ventilated or exposed to sunlight, the moisture will rise and the leaves at the bottom will directly collide with the moisture. Therefore, by increasing the paving surface, the dead leaves at the bottom will not absorb water so easily and perhaps they will not rot so easily.

Pest and disease control

If you find that the plants are infested with diseases and pests, you should promptly wash them with clean water to treat the symptoms, and then spray them with pesticides until they are completely killed. During routine maintenance, ventilation should be strengthened and fungicide should be sprayed once a month.
