What type of succulent is this? I got this plant from Lowe's a few weeks back and there was no tag. I don't think it's what Greg says because it's not warty. It's smooth. Is it a type of aloe? #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #succulentsquad #aloevera #gasteria

Wait, what?! š¤ Whadup GF?!?! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas/New Year!! I have a bit of a head scratcher hereā¦at least for me it is anyway. I walked past one of my Gasteria and noticed that one of the leaves wasnāt sitting quite right. I went over to investigate further and this is what I found!! Iām so confused, I donāt understand whatās happened here. So as you can see from the pics, the center completely rotted out. Itās all mushy and brown. Ok, so I must have over watered, right? Thatās what my assumption was until I used my moister meter to check the soil which was bone dry all the way down to the bottom. Then I dumped it out to check out the roots, and to my amazement, they all look completely healthy and fine!!!! I donāt get it!!! They arenāt brown or mushy. No rotting smellā¦nothing!!! Just health whiteish roots!!! š¤Æš¤Æš¤Æš¤Æ Can anyone help me out here? What am I missing?? The only thing I could come up with is maybe when I watered it last, maybe I was in a hurry or something and not paying close enough attention and let the water run on top of the Gasteria? Like so that it got all in the cracks between the leaves and stuff? I donno, would that cause something like this to happen? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #GregGang #GreggersSupportingGreggers #Greggers #Gasteria #NEPAGregGang #AloeVera hi

Why is this so brown? Is it identified correctly? I took this from a friend but it looks like it needs triage #Gasteria
