Why does your Cotyledon orbiculata oophylla have drooping leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
As a succulent, C. orbiculata oophylla stores water in its fleshy leaves; when soil moisture is depleted, the plant loses turgor pressure, causing the heavy leaves to droop.
Excessive moisture causes the roots of this succulent to decay, which physically prevents the plant from absorbing water despite its presence in the soil.
This species is sensitive to low temperatures; sudden drops in temperature can cause metabolic slowdown and loss of leaf rigidity.
A lack of essential nitrogen can weaken the cellular structure of the leaves, leading to a lack of strength to hold their characteristic upright position.
