White fuzzy stuff on my succulent?
What is this - mildew? Mold? Mealy bugs? I moved it outside away from my other plants, but I can’t keep it out indefinitely as it’s too cold…what should I do?

Hey @YeveGrasspea, The white fuzzy growth on the succulent could be powdery mildew or mold. Mealybugs are tiny insects that cluster in crevices, powdery mildew appears as a fine white powder, and mold or rot is often mushy with a musty smell. To treat it, use rubbing alcohol for mealybugs, a baking soda solution for mildew, or trim affected areas and improve drainage for mold. Ensuring good airflow, watering only when the soil is dry, and regularly inspecting the plant can help prevent future issues. If the damage is severe, propagating a healthy part might be the best option. I hope this helps and your succulents recover 🙏
@Greenthumbwiz thank you so much - I’ll give these a try!!
