What's wrong with the bear's paw dropping leaves? Can it be planted with the dropped leaves?

1. Why does Bear's Paw drop its leaves?

1. The temperature is too high: When the temperature exceeds 35℃, the bear's paw will stop growing. During the dormant period of the plant, some leaves will dry up and shrink, and some leaves will fall off. However, as long as the stems of the succulent plant do not wither, the Bear's Paw will sprout again in autumn.

2. Poor ventilation: In the hot and humid summer climate, or if the indoor maintenance environment is not ventilated, the Bear's Paw will also drop its leaves and protest. We only need to increase air circulation and open windows frequently during indoor maintenance to effectively prevent the Bear's Paw from continuing to shed its leaves.

3. Excessive watering: In summer, Bear's Paw is in a dormant state. If you water it too much and the soil in the pot is too moist, the roots and rhizomes of Bear's Paw will easily rot, causing the succulent to lose leaves. It is best to gradually reduce the water supply in early summer each year and strictly control water.

4. Acclimation stage: If it is a newly planted Bear's Paw, it is normal for the succulent to shed leaves during the acclimation period. Once the Bear's Paw has been successfully acclimated, it will stop shedding leaves and grow wildly.

2. Can the bear's paw be planted after it loses its leaves?

The fallen leaves of Bear's Paw can be planted, but it will be very difficult to keep them alive. First of all, it is difficult to grow Bear's Paw by leaf cuttings, not to mention that the fallen leaves are in poor condition and the growth points are not very intact, so it is really difficult to succeed in leaf cuttings.
