What to do if fleshy plants have mildew spots

1. Causes of mildew:

The main reason is still related to watering, temperature, humidity and ventilation. Especially in summer, if you water too much, the moisture of the soil will increase. Before the accumulated water is discharged, the roots will rot, which will cause mildew. Some succulents don't need too much water. Another reason for the growth of mildew is that there is too much dust on the surface of succulents, or pests secrete juice on their leaves, which can also cause mildew to grow on succulents.

2. Avoidance and treatment methods:

To prevent succulents from growing mildew, you need to reduce the amount of rain they receive. When watering, you should also control the amount of water and not water too much. Also, try to place succulents in a well-ventilated area. If mildew appears on the roots, it is best to replace the entire potting soil to eliminate the disease. At the same time, the mildewed areas should be removed before continuing planting. If it occurs on the leaves, the entire leaf must be removed to prevent it from spreading. You can also use medicated spray to sterilize areas where mold has grown. Try to let succulents grow in a well-ventilated environment, without water accumulation in the soil or on the surface of the leaves, and with appropriate light.
