My echeveria has slightly translucent leaves? At least th...

The leaves are still firm, but the top part looks a bit "wet" and I don't know why.

@LittleSongbird Hi Annika. Is it extra humid (like raining) where you are? It could just be extra moisture in the air. Also, sometimes if succulents are a little on the wet side, they can wick moisture out of their leaves. Make sure it is pretty dry before you water it again.
It's a nice looking Echeveria!
@UltraKoreanfir No, it's not-- also, I just had to take off a leaf because it was "bleeding" and seemed as if it was breaking down. I haven't watered it in like 8 days. What's going on?
@vvvelo, Take a look at these pictures.
@LittleSongbird What do you mean "it was bleeding?"๐Ÿ˜ญ
It sounds a lot like it may be overwatered. Some succulents go around two weeks between watering. And some Echeverias are really sensitive to overwatering.
Maybe @vvvelo will have different thoughts.
@UltraKoreanfir It was leaking water. I haven't watered in 8 days and don't plan to ๐Ÿ˜ญ
This could be a mechanical damage of the farina. Maybe somebody or something(a bug) was touching the leaves. Or, it can be a staine from some liquid. These are my best guesses.
@vvvelo I was inspecting it today and lifted it up. The stem is completely brown. What should I do?? I love my Echeveria ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@LittleSongbird it can be naturally brow, or it can be rot. does it look like rot? Can you share more pics
@vvvelo I think it's a goner. ๐Ÿ’” I don't understand, I watered it only twice ever since I got it. I made sure it got lots of sun too.
