THE SIGNS I'VE NOTICED

- Shriveled Leaves - Brown Leaves - Mushy Soil & Root Rot - The Lifespan of Hen And   Chick Plant

the reasons I'VE discovered

These plants are known for their beautiful leaves, and when they start to shrivel it can cause a lot of panic.

1

Overwatering

The excess water will cause the leaves to shrivel and it will be consumed by the fungus, which causes root rot.

2

Underwatering

On the other side, underwatered hen and chicken plants also present shriveled leaves, which eventually turn brown.

3

Not Enough Sun Exposure

If the plant doesn’t receive enough sunlight, the rosettes will open up and grow to reach light sources.

4

Its Nature

These succulent plants have a life cycle of three years.
