The yellowing of leaves on succulents is a common problem faced by gardeners, predominantly caused by over or underwatering, poor soil conditions, inadequate light, and pest or disease infestation. To tackle this, consider adjusting your watering schedule, repotting your plant with fresh, well-drained soil, or providing your succulent with adequate sunlight.
Overwatering or water-logged soil can suffocate the roots of your succulents, causing them to rot and ultimately leading to yellow leaves. Adequate watering is key, ensure the soil is dry before watering again. If your succulent has yellow, translucent leaves with a soggy or squishy feel, it’s a clear indication of overwatering.
Underwatering, on the other hand, can also trigger yellow leaves, but such leaves usually feel crispy. Unlike overwatering, underwatering is easier to fix. Simply give the plant a good soak, letting excess water drain out, ensuring the plant isn’t sitting in water.
If neither over nor underwatering is the problem, inspect the soil. Poor quality or nutrient-depleted soil can result in yellow leaves. Opt for well-draining soil, preferably a half-and-half blend of standard potting soil and coarse sand or pumice.
