What to do if the leaves of succulent plants are shriveled

The reason why the leaves of succulents shrivel

There are many reasons why the leaves of succulent plants become shrunken.

When succulents are undergoing normal metabolism, they will become shriveled. If there is a problem with the root system, the plant will also become shriveled. Also, when the seedlings are acclimatizing, the plants grow poorly and become shriveled.

We need to analyze the growth of succulents specifically and find the correct reasons in order to better deal with the shriveling of succulents.

How to deal with shriveled leaves

Succulents become shriveled during normal metabolism. This often happens in old plants, and manifests as a slight shriveling of the leaves at the bottom.

This is actually very normal, just let it go.

There are mainly two types of problems with the roots of succulents. One is that the plant is in the seedling growth stage. At this time, the plant is in the seedling growth stage, and the roots have not recovered and cannot absorb nutrients. At this time, it will rely on the nutrients in the leaves of the plant to grow, and it is normal for the leaves to become shriveled. At this time, everyone needs to wait patiently until the root system recovers. There is no need to pick off the leaves in advance. They will fall off on their own after they are completely shriveled.

The second is the problem of the root system. Mistakes occurred when growing succulents, resulting in damage to the root system. We need to check the root system to see if there is any rot. This situation is generally more dangerous and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

In addition, we also need to check whether there are any pests and diseases. If we find any, we must deal with them in time and pick off the affected leaves.

Specifically, look at the roots first, then the leaves, and prescribe the right medicine.
