Dropping leaves/ yellowing
My sedum treleasei has been dropping leaves (not just bottom) since I’ve gotten it basically, they will turn yellow, but they almost look shrunken or shrively, instead of mushy and translucent ? I’ve watered only when soil is dry or when needed. I have them under grow lights for most of the day. But it seems to just keep dropping them, from random places like the bottom then the top, only two of the three plants in the pot, have been doing this, (it’s three separate plants) but I don’t know what would be causing it. I thought at first it was just adjusting to the new pot, but it’s been a month and it’s still doing it. Any ideas ? #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #CactusClique #GreggersSupportingGreggers #sedumtreleasei

I wish I had an answer to this question. I have had the same issue. Bubbles was so cute when I got him. He is now down to one plant with 5 leaves from 3 plants. I have not watered him in 4 months. I tried giving only one drop literally, and 2 days later, a yellow leaf. If you ever find out what the deal is please share. Good luck.
@theplantymammy the grow lights are this brand I don’t know the name but I have a box, got them from Home Depot also I usually only water when I thought it needed it , every two weeks or so, I recently watered a couple days ago because I thought maybe that’s what was causing the leaf drop, I didn’t think about a fungal problems. Im going to repot in some clean soil also.
@SvelteKingfern I haven’t been home this weekend so I’m on the way home now, so I will update you, later today! 😅 thanks for checking !
@SvelteKingfern she only dropped one more leaf, but I’m gonna try repotting and dousing with cinnamon and using a more pourous soil and we will see what happens 🥲🙃
1) This thing affects only 2 plants, not all of them. This suggests that you're doing everything right.
2) This thing affects leaves at random places, so in all probability it's not nutrient deficiency.
For these reasons it looks to me that it's some kind of ongoing infection. Whether it's fungus, virus or bacteria (plants have virus and bacterial infections too, you know) I can't tell.

@SvelteKingfern yeah I was thinking the same thing :/ so I decided to repot with clean materials pots etc, and did the cinnamon thing. Trimmed the roots back, I haven’t watered them cause I just don’t wanna piss them off anymore. So they are in the rehab window now. I repotted them separately I still have to do one more.
Now that you've repotted them in fresh clean soil, give these 2 plants the needed time. They look strong, they may recover on their own.
