In autumn, it should be a comfortable growing season for succulent plants. However, sometimes there are some unexpected situations, such as sunburn and the bottom leaves turning translucent.
When succulents are sunburned in autumn, we need to take a series of conservation measures.
Move the sunburned succulents to a cool and ventilated place in time. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the degree of sunburn from getting worse. But be careful not to move them to an overly dark environment all at once to prevent the succulent plants from being unaccustomed due to the sudden change in the environment.
Next, carefully check the sunburned area. If it is only a slight sunburn, manifested as some yellow spots or dryness on the leaf surface, then no treatment can be done for the time being and let the succulent plants recover slowly on their own. But if the sunburn is more serious, with the leaves shriveled, blackened or even falling off, pruning is needed. Use sterilized scissors to cut off the severely damaged leaves to prevent the spread of infection.
In terms of conservation, watering should be controlled. After being sunburned, the absorption capacity of the roots of succulent plants may be affected to a certain extent. Watering too much at this time is easy to cause water accumulation at the roots and lead to root rot. So wait until the soil is basically dry before watering moderately.
At the same time, pay attention to maintaining good ventilation conditions. Ventilation can help succulent plants quickly evaporate excess moisture and reduce the occurrence of diseases. In addition, you can appropriately supplement some nutrients to succulent plants. Choose diluted special nutrient solution for succulents and water according to the instructions to provide necessary nutrient support for their recovery.
Next, let's take a look at the problem of the bottom leaves of succulents turning translucent.
The bottom leaves of succulents turning translucent is a relatively common phenomenon, usually caused by multiple reasons. It may be due to excessive watering. Excessive water cannot be drained in time, leading to the rupture of leaf cells and turning translucent.
It may also be that the environment is too sultry and humid, affecting the normal metabolism of succulents. Or it may be infected with bacteria, causing diseases and leading to the leaves turning translucent. When finding the bottom leaves turning translucent, deal with it as soon as possible. First, gently remove the translucent leaves. Be careful to be gentle to avoid damaging healthy leaves and stems.
Then check whether there are signs of infection in the roots and stems. If there are black rot or rotten parts, cut them off in time and disinfect them with fungicides such as carbendazim. In the subsequent conservation, adjust the watering strategy. According to the variety and growing environment of succulents, reasonably control the frequency and amount of watering. At the same time, strengthen ventilation and maintain air circulation to reduce environmental humidity.
In addition, pay attention to observing the growth status of succulents. If the translucent situation has not improved or new problems appear, further measures may be needed, and even repotting and changing the soil.
Whether it is sunburn or the bottom leaves turning translucent of succulents in autumn, we need to find problems in time and take correct conservation methods to solve them. Only in this way can we let succulent plants grow healthily in autumn and show their charming postures.
