Why is the fleshy upper part wrinkled?

Hello! First of all, it is possible that the succulent is watered with too much water during maintenance, which prevents its roots from breathing properly.

Secondly, it is possible that the succulent is watered too little, causing it to lack water at the roots.

Finally, it is also possible that the succulent has accidentally injured its root system while repotting, resulting in poor growth of the succulent. The solution is to cut off the wrinkled leaves and replant them.

According to your description, it should be because it has rained in the past two days, and the air humidity is high, and it may be caused by too much moisture. Generally, succulents are watered once every 4-5 days in summer, once every 5-7 days in spring and autumn, and once every 10 days or so in winter.

Hope the above can help you!

Succulent.

Is it kept on the balcony? If you keep it on the balcony, you can't get wet in the rain, or you need to water it as usual, the plant mainly relies on the root system to absorb water, even if it rains, the air is more humid and the water is limited. It is recommended to water, it is best to water thoroughly at one time, watering is to see the bottom of the pot begin to seep out of the water, you can buy a water tray to fill the bottom of the pot with a small amount of water, the next time you see the soil dry you can water, it is not recommended to water a small amount of many times, so that the place that has been watered for a long time is easy to rot roots.

Take a look at the roots! If it is a lack of water or too much sun, it is easy to solve; If you water too much, it will be more troublesome to dip the roots, so change the pot first.

1. Insufficient water, succulents are shriveled and wrinkled, which is likely to be caused by insufficient moisture. Although succulents are particularly drought tolerant, if they don't have enough water, they will deplete the water stored in the leaves, and the leaves will become shriveled and wrinkled. So after the soil is dry, we need to hydrate the succulents.

2. Root rot, if we have not recovered from the shriveled and wrinkled leaves of the succulent after we have replenished water for the succulent, it means that there is a problem with the succulent roots. At this point we need to remove the succulents from the soil and inspect the root system. If there is a situation of dryness and decay, it should be pruned in time.

3. Soil problems, succulents are shriveled and wrinkled, and may be caused by unaerated soil. If the soil has been used for too long and there is a situation of compaction, we need to replace the succulent with a new soil in time and ensure that the soil has sufficient air permeability.

The causes of wrinkled leaves of succulents and how to deal with them are as follows: leakage of holes.

1. No watering for too long, drought and lack of water.

Coping method: water in time and replenish water;

2. Succulents are still in the potting stage of slow seedlings, because the water absorbed by the root system cannot keep up with the water consumed by the plants.

Solution: The succulent leaves become soft during the potting period and do not require special treatment. On the contrary, the succulent leaves become softer during the potting stage, and the concentration of auxin becomes higher, which is more conducive to plant roots.

3. Water-loving and succulent varieties should be given sufficient water.

4. The mutation of the growth environment will also lead to the inadaptability of succulents, and the phenomenon of soft and wrinkled leaves will occur.

Here's why:1. The bottom leaves are soft, and if the folds are only soft and folded in the bottom leaves, check whether a large amount or a small amount, if only a small amount, the rest of the plant is in a vibrant state. Then don't worry too much, it may be that the lack of water is causing the succulents to consume their own leaves.

2. Long-term shriveled folds may be due to problems in the root system, and the roots have no way to absorb, transport, and store nutrients and water normally, resulting in succulents can only rely on themselves to "survive". Don't hesitate to dig out the succulents as soon as possible and check the root health.

3. Some leaves are dry and weak, which is very likely to be succulent infected with bacteria and germs. The reason for this is most likely that insects eat and form wounds. Therefore, in the season of summer, insect control is very necessary.

If it is shriveled and wrinkled, it is because its root system is not developed, the water cannot be transmitted, or the soil is dry and there is no water, you can replant it or water it thoroughly to see if it can really grow well.
