I think my echaveria is dying
So a while ago reggie had some white fuzz on his leaves that was mold, so I misted a hydrogen peroxide and water mixture on him like twice a week and it helped a lot and he got new growth and it was much better but recently his leaves have started browning and bite marks and rough scab looking spots showed up. What do i do?
7” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 days ago

Hi! It is hard to tell through photos, but based on bite marks and brown spots on the leaves. Reggie could be experiencing some sort of pest. If you notice them I would definitely try to spray them down with neem oil or any other natural insecticides or natural depending if you are worried about chemicals. If that’s not the case, I would love to continue to help you troubleshoot. Happy growing that awesome plant 🌱
On those neeer leaves towards the center it almost looks like there is webbing on some of the damaged leaves, this could be from mealy bugs or spider mites. It could also be just mold. Do you have a pet. It could be nibbling on your plant. This could cause the juices of the plant to rot on the leaves which would cause mold. I’m here if you have any further questions!!!
It looks like mealy bugs you’re going to need to isolate it so it doesn’t spread to other plants. Since you’ve already tried neem oil it’s time to use alcohol which will kill them instantly. Take a cotton swab and wipe over the infected areas . Pick the dead one’s off to insure they are all dead . Hope this helps you
@ILoveMyPlants thanks I’ll try that
