Is this normal? I am a first time plant mom since getting 4 new plant babies in the beginning of May. One of them is a ghost plant which I have named Ben. He has been growing very quickly but I’ve noticed that the leaves on the bottom of his stem will die and fall off. Is this normal with ghost plants?

Overwatered Succulents? This morning, I realized for the first time that my assorted succulents may have overwatering! This does not make sense, they have not been watered for a while and have drainage. The leaves are not wet, but have been showing that they are! Some leaves have even been falling off my ghost plant, and other ghost plants’ leaves have looked overwatered! Second photo: the largest ghost plant succulent that has been THRIVING is now worsening! Soil is good. I don’t know what to do! What is going on! Answer if you can or know how to help. #SucculentLove

Yellow under leaves? So I got this plant as a gift from a friend 2 days ago and I was wondering what in particular could have caused the under leaves to be so yellow? Before this picture there where multiple crispy leaves that fell off and I had to remove, although I do see new growth. Soil PH is 7 and it has great drainage, but I'm not sure when last it was fertilized. They have never repotted it and have only trimmed it back occasionally. Does anyone know what the problem could be? #GhostPlant

How often should I water my succulent clipping? My mom gave my this succulents baby (it might not be a clipping hut idk what else to call it) and i used to mist it everyday but i feel like it's too much now... I think I want to just water it weekly but I'm not sure if that's the best course of action. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can successfully water this little baby? #help #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #planttherapy #plantaddict #newplantmom #succulents
