This is just bruising, right?

I got this in the mail 2 days ago from SucculentsBox. #SucculentSquad
3” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 hours ago
Most of it looks like soil, but some bruising too yes.
@MockingJay I dusted off the soil with a gentle brush after I got them. I did see that they bruise easily somewhere. Nothing else I got in that box looks like this
@DivineMelon93 oh, the third picture was before I cleaned off the soil
Hey @DivineMelon93, I don't think that is bruising alone. I think there is an issue with that plant. I could be wrong, but 2 things come to mind. Watering... sometimes overwatering can lead to marks on the leaves when water escapes from the leaf, leaving a scar. The other is fungus of some kind. I have had plants with this same type of thing that have died. If you want to, as a precaution, you can treat the plant. You would have to remove all of the affected leaves the treat with a fungicide or neem oil. Treat the other plant as well if they came together. Allow the plants to acclimate to its new surroundings in isolation from other plants for a week. Then, begin treatment weekly for 3 weeks or until no new outbreaks occur. I wish you the best with your new plants. πŸͺ΄
@DivineMelon93 yeah some succulents bruise very easily, I wouldn't be too conserned. But it is always reccomended to isolate new plants for a while in case of pests or diseases.
@MockingJay they’re all isolated in my bedroom. No other plants in here or adjoining rooms. Thanks
@Stall54Jo they’re all isolated in my bedroom. No other plants in here or adjoining rooms. Thanks. I’m going to reach out to the company real quick since you think it could be sick. If everyone agreed it was bruising, I probably wouldn’t contact them
