Succulents have a certain drought resistance. In the growing process, water should be controlled to avoid root rot caused by water. Loose and fertile soil can be selected and some sand and gravel soil can be added to increase the permeability of the soil. Wait until the soil is dry before watering.

How to take care of succulents when leaves softening and wrinkled

Succulent leaves are soft and wrinkled. If the soil is dry, you can replenish water in a timely manner. We can provide a stable environment for succulents, until the root is stable after careful maintenance. Usually giving succulent water does not appear to avoid root rot. If it is a succulent metabolism, the leaves will also be soft, and can be pruned appropriately, increasing nutrient supplement.

1. Hydrate for succulent

Succulent plants tend to grow in a moist environment. If succulent plants stay dry for a long time, the soil will become dry and cracked. A lack of water will lead to a large amount of water evaporating from the leaves, which will become soft and wrinkled. Watering the succulents should be done in a timely manner, gradually increasing the amount of water and the leaf condition will improve after a day.

2. Stabilize the environment for succulent

If you water too much, it will cause the fleshy roots to rot and the leaves to wilt and become soft. The succulents need to be turned out of a bowl, the roots pruned, the rotting parts disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate, and then replanted.

When the fleshy metabolism is normal, the leaves at the bottom of the fleshy will also wither and become soft, which can be timely pruned to avoid the loss of nutrients, or fertilized properly to the fleshy, increase the nutrient supplement, and slow down the rate of the bottom leaves dying.
