Leaves are very soft on my succulents 😢

Question

My two succulent plants the leaves are very soft, and are not as full as before, I've given them water, a decent amount but im not sure if maybe im not giving them enough water or something else, could it also be the moss? There's some moss on top of the soil, i removed it on the one with the pink and the soil is dry and the one with the green moss the soil is slightly damp, just for reference I watered them on Friday  and it is sunday now. Please let me know if you have any tips or ideas of what could be wrong🥲

Those pots are adorable- but do they have drainage holes?

@maci.in.bloom · Answer

@MamaLinne Agreed!

@applepie okay, they are likely rotting. Succulents must have well draining soil and be in pots with drainage holes. I would repot asap with a cactus/succulent soil, trim off any brown or mushy areas, and don’t water for a while. Don’t use any moss. Make sure they have good sunlight! If you really want to, you can drill holes in the bottom of these with a drill bit! (Lots of videos online)

Hi Bee, I was thinking the same thing. They are great looking pots but do they have drainage holes? You may want to get rid of the soil , dry out the pots and plant roots if they need it. The pots will need drainage holes.

@applepie I advise proceeding with extreme caution. Use a small a drill bit as you can find. First tape where you want to drill with a little cross of duck tape to minimize any danger of cracking the pot. Then drill through the center of the tape carefully. 👍￼

Here is my lithop garden. The center pot did not have a hole in it. I drilled a hole in it exactly the way I described. ￼

@applepie , thank you. It’s a pot within a pot. The center ( small) pot has little Lithops the larger pot larger Lithops. 😁
