Fleshy leaves wither, is it good or bad

As soon as summer comes, the weather is hot. Whether dormant or non dormant, there will be the following situations. The old leaves at the bottom suddenly dehydrate and become dry, which feels like they are about to "die"

In fact, this is a normal aging phenomenon. In summer, the temperature is high and the water vapor evaporates quickly. Naturally, there are many aged leaves. Although you don't have to worry, you should also pay attention to the following points:

1. Remove the old leaves after they are completely dry

After the leaves are completely withered, the interface of the main rod will also heal automatically. Removing it will not cause wounds and avoid breeding bacteria or infection

2. Do not leave the old leaves in the basin after removal

Don't think that leaves can be left in the basin as fertilizer. In summer, when the temperature is high, leaf rot is easy to breed bacteria, attract mosquitoes, and then infect more meat, the gain is not worth the loss

3. Proper water control

The aging process is also the growth process of the old pile. Just remove the old leaves, don't water it first. When you see that the basin soil is dry, pour it again one day to make the new pile stable

Some flower friends have more meat in their homes, and their leaves are dry. At the same time, they have other problems. Let's talk about it in detail here

Leaves wrinkled

If the leaves at the bottom are aged and the leaves above are wrinkled and not fresh, it is lack of water

Remove the old leaves and choose the watering time

Remove the old leaves that have been dried into paper skin. If they have not been dried into skin, do not pick them first. Water them in the morning (before 9 o'clock) or at night (after 8 o'clock) to avoid stimulating meat

The leaves are white and a little wilted

The old leaves below are shriveled, but the leaves above are light in color, with a tendency to be liquefied and transparent. This is because the weather is too hot and the water poured is beyond the bearing range of the meat

Control the water in time and put it in a ventilated place

At this time, don't water any more. Quickly put it in a relatively ventilated place and send out the moisture in the basin in time to avoid rotten roots

The leaves are transparent and black and fall off when touched

This situation is even more serious. If the leaves are transparent and the fingers fall off as soon as they touch, it is already hydrated

1. Slightly soften the water and put it in a ventilated place to control the water

If only a few old leaves melt water and the pile is still OK, remove the bad leaves and quickly move the rest to a ventilated and dry place (pay attention to shading)

2. Moderate water, dig out and rescue

If even the main pole starts to melt water, dig out the roots quickly, leave the good part, clean up the rotten part, and re cuttage the rest to take root

In summer, the temperature is high and the success rate of cutting is low, but it is still operable. Be sure to keep ventilation, do not directly dry, keep the basin soil moist, and throw away the broken leaves to avoid infecting other leaves

Or use hydroponic rooting. Mix rooting powder with water for 1:2000, put it in a suitable container, put the meat at the mouth of the bottle, don't touch the water, and be sure to put it in a cool place

3. Severe hydration, black rot, declared dead

If the fleshy root is rotten and no leaf of the whole tree is intact, it is hopeless

Withered leaves accompanied by flowering

Now the meat can be said to be very capricious, not to mention that the meat only blooms in spring. Even on a reheated day, there are silly "meat" without knowing the season

If it's spring and the meat is in the growth period, it's all right to open a flower. It's best to consume some nutrition and absorb more later to make up for it. OK, I'll let you open it

But now it's summer. It looks like it's going into dormancy. There are people who are not afraid of dying and flowering. Huahua is really drunk

Cut off the flower heads and control the water

Don't hesitate. It's more important to save your life in the summer. Cut it quickly. After cutting off the foil, control the water first, wait until the pot soil is dry, and then water it one day

Now is the "extraordinary period" of meat

Is it life or death

But it's all up to you
