Powdery mildew?
Pretty sure my Melaco has the powdery mildew. I haven’t dealt with it in almost a year (the #GreatPlantCatastrophe2022 ). I also knew nothing about Succs at the time. But I still have no flipping idea how to fix this.
The fungicide powder I used last year scarred and killed plants.
The alcohol killed plants.
Questionable plants have been secluded. Ember is definitely the worst off, but my chroma had some perfect little white circle fuzzy spots too.

I’m not an expert in plant diseases.. I am giving you some information from my past experiences..
I have hydrangea bushes outside in my backyard. Last year, my newest hydrangea I planted developed powdery mildew or some other fungal disease on the leaves. I would recommend trying a different brand of fungicide. I recommend “Captain Jacks Copper Fungicide”. It works really well and it got rid of the fungal disease my plant had.
Here are some tips for using this fungicide…
1.) When you spray the plant with the fungicide, I would recommend keeping the plant out of the reach of pets until the plant has completely dried.
2.) When you spray the leaves with the fungicide. You are not supposed to put the plant in sun/under bright light (if you are using a grow light) right away. The chemicals in the fungicide will burn the plant when you put it in sun right away. If you had an outdoor plant and you were using this, the bottle recommends spraying the plant on a cloudy day. This is why…

@L06flower that’s actually the powder I used. Any sprays I used, killed the succulents.
So it effectively got rid of my fungus problem, as well as the entire plant 🤣
I tried that, Garden safe, and one other. @TwistedThreads

Here is some more info I found on a website about Fungal diseases and succulents…
“When a succulent is infected by powdery mildew, it will most likely look like it has been dusted with a classic white or grayish, powdery coating. It usually starts as circular, powdery white spots on the leaves and stems. And as the infection progresses, the spots will turn yellow-brown and eventually black. The plant will also begin to have twisted and distorted leaves before it actually wilts and dies.
A lenient case of Powdery Mildew may go away on its own. But if you are wondering, a very effective fungicide for this kind of fungus is Copper. Just make sure to follow the label instructions carefully, as too much copper will be detrimental to the plant and the soil. You can also try mixing one tablespoon baking soda and one-half teaspoon of liquid, non-detergent soap with a gallon of water, and spray the mixture liberally on the affected leaves”.

Try washing the succulents off. Use a qtip to get the hard to reach spots and then spray or pour alcohol/peroxide over it (clean and cover roots and all) then set it in an airy place to dry at a timely manner. Once dry, repot in fresh dry soil then wait like 2 or 3 days before watering lightly. Make sure to keep the top of the succulent dry. Either water by the base slowly and lightly or bottom water #buttchug to prevent water build up of mold/ mildew or whatever. Also Sprinkle cinnamon on roots/in growing medium. Helps prevent fungal/bacterial infections. These are just the things I do. Cost effective and everything it calls for I already have.
@L06flower @KrunchyWrapz I tried the rinse. Didn’t work. I actually had to go ahead and use the garden safe again. It worked on some I definitely don’t think everyone is going to make it. But I think the powdery mildew is gone on almost every body. The neem oil seems to cause the leaves to rot.
Melaco (Ember) lost all her leaves and is only a stem. Other plants sprayed have leaves falling off with a bump of the pot.
