I’m not sure if my mangave is over watered or under water...

I started out watering it about once a week because it’s outside in direct arizona sunlight (been about 90’s for the past few weeks during the day). Then it looked like it was maybe over watered so I went down to every 2-3 weeks. Not sure if that was the right adjustment, because I noticed the tip of one of the leaves started becoming “crunchy” and now it’s all shriveled. I’m not sure what to do….am I watering it too much? Not enough? Is it beyond repair? 😬 #NewPlantMom #SucculentLove

@rynroxx
also contrary to popular belief most succulents are grown in greenhouses and do not like direct sunlight; may be sunburnt

@rynroxx I was also going to suggest it may be too much sun

@rynroxx @Goodchicken thank you both!! I’ll be sure to move it to some shade! The instructions said full sun but I feel like maybe that wasn’t directed towards Arizona weather 😝
