The Main Reasons For Droopy Leaves In Succulents

Succulents can develop droopy leaves for a number of reasons. While droopy growth is unlikely to kill succulents it can be a sign the plant is struggling.

Thank YOU! Kat for all the precious knowledge you share with us that some would rather store it and salt it if they could.
What about droopy leaves? Do these same plants with the droop return to pointing leaves upwards? Or a beheading is needed?

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Ahhh, can go either way- usually they do return to normal but those that are etiolated will stay tall and, for aesthetic reasons, may need beheading. Most of the time they should turn their leaves upwards again when re-introduced to good conditions. But some refuse and stay droopy 🙈🤷‍♀I guess, you can try and see what they do and if they stay droopy give them the ✂😅

Thank you for taking time to share your precious knowledge Kat🙏much appreciated.
I do understand, these beauties may be whimsical at times but are still dear no matter the fuss. 🤗

Thanku useful information. U have mentioned that u keep most succulents in full sun and rain like exposed to the elements. We have rainy season for 3,4 mths. Can they take tat much of rain?

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

It really depends on what type of succulents they are. Some are more accepting of the wet than others. We've had 3 very wet years in a row and i had to move some varieties in a greenhouse so they don't get rained on all the time but the majority survived. It's usually hybrid Echeveria that struggle, but if it's always very humid as well as hot, many others may not take it well. If you're in doubt it's better to be safe than sorry and keeping them undercover during the wet season may be the best option...
