What happened to my beauty?? Her stem started turning brown and I only watered her as suggested. πŸ˜” #SucculentSquad
1ft to light, indirect
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
Some of those leaves look discolored, and if the stem browned/rotted then it was probably due to the water. Either too often or your soil and pot weren’t draining efficiently. Make sure your pot has good drain holes and your soil drains lots of water out thoroughly! The soil should be very dry before you water again. If you’re not sure whether the water has drained fully when you water, you can gently tip the pot to see if water pours out. I’m sorry that’s happened! ): don’t let it discourage you, though!

For future reference, if you notice that succulent leaves are starting to turn yellow and clear but are still plump and easily fall off, and are squishyβ€” this is a sign of too much watering! You should cease to water and try to assess what is happening and if you can correct the process before it fully rots and falls apart
Here’s an informative video about root rot: https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=vJ0rX7GNZ5FFe3Gm&v=E1hKceBYr3w&feature=youtu.be
