Plant ID please? Greg says this is a āShowy Stonecropā but I veto that vote. Any help with this? My friend said she was told it was a Hatchet Plant, but also called it Elk Horn. Help? š¤·š½āāļø #PlantID #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove

deltoid-leaved dew plant with brown stems. #GregGang Hey everyone, I am having a problem with my deltoid-leaved dew plant. About a week or two ago the stems began turning brown from the bottom up, and now the top leaves on two of the stems have shriveled and died. When I first got this plant it was healthy and the the stems were a light red, though the bottom had some darker brown layers. I water it about once every week when the soil is dry and it lives in my room. Any ideas on if itās over watering, too little sun, needs to be moved into a bigger pot, or something else? Iāve done some research but canāt tell what to do. The first two photos are the plant presently, third is when I first got it. Thanks so much #GreggersSupportingGreggers #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #DeltoidLeavedDewPlant #GregGang #PlantTherapy

Wilting!! Help! My deltoid leaves dew plant is new and when I got it a week ago, the soil was very very dry. I watered it once and waited for the soil to dry out again to water it (just now) because it doesnāt need much water. However, itās wilting a lot more right now than it was before! Am I under or over watering it? Does it need more sun? Itās about 5 feet from a west-facing window right now. Please help!

š± Propagation
Deltoid-Leaved Dew Plant can be propagated by the stem method. To propagate:
- Make a cut just above the node. The node is the break in the stem where the leaf emerges.
- To get the cutting to root, you can either:
- Place the cutting in water until roots emerge and are ~2ā long and then transplant into well-draining soil, or
- Place the cutting directly into well-draining soil and water when dry.
š§ Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.

Very sensitive if it gets too much Sunlight. They leaves will get mushy , if this happens move it to a shaded area for a few days then return it to its normal spot.
