@SaintTaylor Poor Athena looks like she’s halfway through moving out but hasn’t told you yet. Those little leaves dropping are her way of saying, Conditions here aren’t quite my vibe. With succulents like this, the trick is to mimic their desert life bright light, quick drinks, and zero soggy feet. Right now she’s in direct sun, which is great, but north-facing windows can be stingy with actual intensity. If she’s stretching or dropping leaves, she might want a sunnier south or west window. Water deeply only when the soil is bone dry think crumbly chocolate cake…not half baked brownie. And make sure that drainage is actually working if water is pooling at the bottom, she’ll sulk and drop more leaves. Silver Dollar Plants want quick draining soil, shallow pots, and a full dry out before the next drink. Right now, water is probably lingering down in the basement of that pot long after the top looks dry, which can make roots go mushy. I’d unpot her, check the roots (firm and white = good, brown and squishy = bad haircut time), trim any rot, and move her into a pot that’s just a little bigger than her root ball with a gritty cactus mix….. Once she’s in a smaller, breezier home and getting a real desert style soak and dry, she’ll stop dropping leaves and start holding onto them like they’re gold.
