Succulents have yellowish leaves, do they need to be cut off?

The bottom leaves often dry up and fall, transparent water, belongs to the normal succulent metabolic process, and there is no need to worry about anything, when the leaves are completely dry can be easily removed, take them off and throw them away. On the contrary, if we water the succulent every few days, then the leaves under it will certainly not turn yellow, and it will always be so full, not only will the shape be gone, but it will continue to grow taller, and some will wear skirts, that is, the fleshy will grow.

The yellowed leaves actually store some nutrients inside. Don't underestimate those few soft and yellowish leaves, sometimes one or two leaves have no effect, but over time, a lot of nutrients are wasted. Under normal circumstances, after the nutrients in the leaves are completely absorbed, the leaves left behind will eventually become thinner, dry, and even older ones will fall off when touched, generally appearing on the exposed succulents, of course, we don't have to wait until they are touched to tear off, but we can't be in a hurry.

Summer is the season when succulent roots are most likely to rot, watering too much, drenching in heavy rain and the weather is hot and unventilated, and it is easy to have problems if you are not careful. When you find that the succulents are slightly rotten, quickly put them in a well-ventilated place to let the water evaporate quickly, and give a good ventilation environment to drain the water of the pot as soon as possible. To ensure the permeability of the soil, add more vermiculite, river sand and other materials that do not retain water.

If it is still attached to the fleshy and it is not easy to take it off, you can wait a few days to clean it up to avoid the damage caused by hard dragging. Dead leaves that accumulate over a long period of time are easy to be infected with pests and diseases, especially in summer, which is easy to cause a closed and stuffy environment, so be sure to clean up. Don't move the dry leaves that are not easy to remove, as forcibly tearing them off will hurt the flesh.

For succulents mold, it is found that most of them appear on succulents of the genus "Green Lock Dragon", and the best way to prevent succulents from becoming moldy is to prevent them from eating too much rainwater, and do not water too much at ordinary times, and place them in a ventilated place. As the so-called treatment of the symptoms and the root cause, there are three main ways to mold succulents, one is to change the soil, if the roots are moldy, the diseased part can be cut off, and the sandy soil can be replaced to continue planting, which is conducive to drainage and moisture. The second is to break off the diseased leaves and block the mold infection.

Some of the leaves of succulents are yellowed and need to be cut off in time.

In spring, the succulent grows quickly, and it will also form a phenomenon of alternating old and old. Leaves can dry out, whether it's natural or diseased, and we cut them off to keep the whole plant healthy.

For some fast-growing succulents, prune them and cut off their branches from the middle, which will help the roots concentrate nutrients to form old piles.

Some leaves of plants are yellow, and they need to be cut off, because yellowed succulent leaves have no value left, because yellowing will fall off sooner or later.

No, if it is dead, it will fall off automatically, and if it is a stress reaction, it will be relieved in two days.

It needs to be cut off, as long as there is no yellow on the top, it will continue to grow, and the leaves are not good-looking if they are yellow, you can take them off!

Some succulents have yellowish leaves, so they don't need to be cut off, they will naturally fall off.

Succulents have yellowing leaves, don't cut them off.

Normally, succulent leaves are arranged in a compact rosette-like shape, and the leaves are thick and plump. Because succulents have the characteristics of short dormancy during high temperature in summer, the phenomenon of yellow leaves and deciduous leaves of succulents in summer is more obvious than in other seasons, especially the phenomenon of yellow leaves and deciduous leaves of varieties with thin leaves such as mage, mountain rose, blue bird, and Guanghan Palace.

There are usually many reasons for the yellowing of succulent leaves in summer, and it is recommended to distinguish the specific reasons and then treat the symptoms!

1. Yellow leaves and deciduous leaves in the dormant period:

In summer, when the temperature continues to maintain around 35, succulents begin to enter the dormant period, which is manifested by slow growth or basic stagnation, and the peripheral leaves turn yellow, dry up and fall off naturally. This is a normal physiological defoliation and is a protective measure to reduce one's own nutrient consumption. Place it in a cool, ventilated place with proper water control so that it can resume growing again after it has passed the dormant period smoothly.

2. Yellow leaves and fallen leaves caused by black rot and rotten roots

Watering succulents in the summer ridge season should only be done in the morning and evening when it is relatively cool, and it is better to dry than to wet. The high temperature and high temperature environment in summer can easily lead to black rot and root rot of succulents, which are often the first to show yellow leaves and fallen leaves, and the fresh leaves are the mainstay. With further development, the rhizome rots in the end, and it can only be treated by cutting off the head of the hungry field.

3. Yellow leaves and dead leaves caused by normal consumption:

Although summer is the dormant period for succulents, succulents are still alive and still need a small amount of watering. If the succulent plant is in a state of drought and water shortage for a long time, the leaves will also become shriveled due to excessive consumption, and even yellow and fallen leaves will rot blind. Thin-leaved varieties themselves are less drought tolerant, and the phenomenon of yellow leaves and deciduous leaves will be more obvious.

In addition to proper watering, you can also properly clean up some of the accumulated yellow and dead leaves to help ventilation and heat dissipation.

Succulent yellow leaves and fallen leaves are nothing more than these reasons, except for black rot, which is the yellowing of fresh leaves and water, which is pathological, the rest of the problems are not big, and the symptomatic treatment can be done!

First, the soil is unsuitable.

Succulents prefer a breathable, well-drained, loose soil environment. If the soil has poor drainage and ventilation ability, it will hinder breathing, and it will not be able to obtain enough water and nutrients, so it will yellow leaves. In this case, it is necessary to replace the soil with a new one as soon as possible, and it is necessary to ensure that it is breathable and permeable.

It is best to place a layer of gravel on the bottom when potting.

2. Watering too much.

Succulents are generally drought tolerant and do not need to be watered too often. If the dust leakage forest is frequently watered during the management period, there will be water in the soil, which hinders the respiration of the root system and cannot provide water and nutrients to the leaves normally, and it will slowly turn yellow. Loosen the soil frequently, ventilate more, and let the water evaporate.

Pay attention to reduce the number of watering times in the later stage.

3. Lack of light.

If the succulent plant is placed in the shade for a long time during the maintenance of the acreage, the chlorophyll cannot be synthesized without enough sunlight, and the leaves will yellow after a long time. In this case, move the plant to the light as soon as possible and let it bask in the sun. Plants can grow vigorously only when there is enough light, and pay attention to block the scorching summer sun in time.

Fourth, the temperature is uncomfortable.

Succulents tend to prefer warm environments but are not tolerant of high temperatures. If the temperature cannot be controlled in time during the high temperature stage in summer, the plants will be easy to wilt and the leaves will be easy to turn yellow. The temperature should be controlled, moved to a cool place, ventilated more, and watering should be reduced to promote a safe summer.

Succulents are a popular type of plant in recent years, and their water-cut and drought-tolerant and unique shape have become the object of many enthusiasts in Buhe. However, many farmers will find that their succulent leaves turn yellow and fall off at the slightest touch, affecting the aesthetics of the succulents. So, what is the reason why the succulent leaves turn yellow and fall off when touched?

Reason 1: Improper watering.

For drought-tolerant plants such as succulents, overwatering is a fatal problem. If overwatered, the succulent root system will be affected, which can easily cause rot and disease, which will cause the succulent leaves to turn yellow and fall off instantly. Therefore, we must pay attention to strictly controlling the amount of watering in the process of dust deficiency breeding.

Reason 2: Insufficient light.

Succulents need plenty of light to grow properly. If left in a dark and damp environment for a long time, the succulent leaves will turn yellow, grow slowly, and eventually fall off. Therefore, we must choose a well-ventilated and sunny place to place succulents when breeding.

Reason 3: The soil is not suitable.

The root system of succulents is more sensitive, and if unsuitable soil is used, it is easy to lead to root rot, pests and diseases, which in turn affects the growth and even death of succulents. Therefore, when we buy soil, we must choose soil with good air permeability, good drainage and low lime content, and try to avoid soil with thick fertilizer and heavy stone.

Reason 4: Pest infestation.

Many farmers will find that their succulents have pests such as aphids and scale insects moving, and these pests will suck the succulent juice dry, causing the yellowing and falling of the succulent leaves. Therefore, once we find pests in breeding, we should take effective control measures in time to avoid excessive damage to the succulents.

Epilogue. The above is the analysis of the reasons why the succulent leaves turn yellow and fall off as soon as they are touched. We must pay attention to the above points when breeding succulents, and if possible, you can refer to professional succulent maintenance books, so that succulents can grow healthily and maintain a unique and beautiful shape for a long time.
