Natural Leaf Consumption | 【关于叶片消耗】
Dry leaves occurring at lower level of your succulent is a sign of growth. There are three common reasons for leaf consumption:
- During pot adaption period, your succulent will use the nutrient from leaves at lower level to support growing of new leaves.
- If your succulent hasn’t been watering for a while, it will start use nutrient from leaves at the bottom to survive this period.
- For new leaves to grow out, old leaves from lower layers tend to dry out and provide nutrients for baby leaves, this is the natural circle of life.
** Remember to remove dry leaves for better air flow**
【关于叶片消耗】
多肉最下层的叶片干枯是植物健康生长的表现,原因如下:
- 服盆发根。服盆期间多肉会利用老叶子的养分,长新叶子,发新根。
- 提供养分。太久不浇水时多肉也可能会消耗一些下层叶片为自己提供养分。
- 老叶更新。下层老叶子干枯,上层长新叶子属于正常生长规律。
**干枯的叶片需要常常清理以便于下层通风**
