Why are my Echeveria leaves mushy like this?
I touched one yesterday and it felt like pudding. I never seen anything like it. ðĨ It was purple and fell right off. Plants tell us what they need. Yesterday, she looked like it was too humid for her. I live in an RV and sometimes its hard to control the air quality and temperature. Today I have the fan oscillating with 2 a/C's on. She looks a little better today. Any advice would be greatly appreciated ðð―

Hey @ThePlantuary what kind of soil is it in? It looks rather dense, they like light draining soil, ideally succulent or cactus soil and in a pot with drainage holes they dont like being wet roots and can be dried out a bit between waterings. If you don't have succulent soil you can make something similar with sand and fine gravel/grit and mixing it in with the soil.
Especially being mushy is a sign of too munch water.

@TheLonelyDaff thank you for this. I very new to #plantparenting My little Debbie is actually in miracle gro soil with perlite. But it is fast draining. She does have a drainage hole. I can get cactus soil and change it. I do also have some gravel lava rocks that Ive never used because I wasn't sure how. This would be a good reason. Should I change her pot too? It's ceramic. Thank u so much!
