Dark speckles🥺

Question

So the past few days I’ve noticed my succulent dropping some leaves, which initially I was attributing to the weather cooling down but when I pulled off the leaves that had wilted and dried up I noticed some dark speckles on the underside of the leaves I had taken off and on the remaining leaves. Does anyone know what this may be and if so, what would be your recommended methods of treating? Many thanks friends💗 #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Echeveria #GregGang #planthelp #help

I would guess this may be fungus or mold. To get rid of mold on succulents, you can use a variety of DIY fungicides, or you can purchase a commercial fungicide. DIY fungicides can include a baking soda mixture, milk spray, neem oil, or mouthwash. If the DIY methods do not work, it will be best to purchase a commercial spray.

I’ve noticed mine does that when the leaves touch wet soil without good ventilation

It could be a fungus but I'm not certain... @kscape or @vvvelo might know tho (:

Fungal. You want to use sulfur or copper. Echeveria don’t like cold temps so if you are getting into winter where you are it’ll be better inside in a bright window.
