Leaves can also fall off during extreme heat. During periods of intense heat or drought, succulents respond by dropping their leaves to help conserve energy and maintain their water supply. While this is a normal response in nature, there are steps you can take to minimize stress in your plant.
Correspondingly, what to do if a leaf falls off your succulent?
When leaves fall off your succulent,
- Let them dry out for 2 days, then place them on top of a layer of cactus soil (use a tray like the one in the video below, a pot, whatever!)
- Spritz with a little water every other day.
Likewise, will leaves grow back on succulent?
You can expect new leaves to grow on top of the succulent. In some types of succulents, fallen leaves are replaced by offshoots in the stems where these came from. Either way, you just need to be patient and wait until your plant looks luxurious again.
