Wrinkled leaf

#Echeveria

I just watered this baby and fed with Espoma organic liquid fertilizer for cactus and succulents 2 days ago. She gets direct sun from a south facing window. Leaves were firm and soil was dry when I watered. Why is this single leaf now wrinkling. Did I not give enough water? Did I give too much? Is she just being a drama queen? I bottom watered with the fertilizer/water mix and gave the top layer of soil a little squirt of just water and left it to sit for about 20 minutes before removing the plant from the water. This plant is in my bedroom and there is always a ceiling fan on and an oscillating fan gets used at night in case that affects anything. Brand new to plants so still learning.
3” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
Hi Lindsey and welcome to Greg! #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #coffeewithsucculents
She may have gotten too much water underneath. Just keep a watchful eye on her to see any of the other leaves are affected.
Looks like it may be overwatered
@Nocturnal666 Is that a PVN? (Perle Von Neuremburg, I am a total slut for echeveria. ) the very thin leaved echeveria are tricky. And she is not remotely a grapto
Ok, hi. Reading before responding is not a terrible idea. So ok, echies in general are a pain in the ass
@Nocturnal666 awww! Glad I could help you connect with people far more knowledgeable than myself! So much is geographical. If I had a loaded gun to my head I would say echeveria on any given day are my favorites. But the real thin leaf varieties are a bitch. So I have given up on any schedule or anything else…I garden like I cook. My method is to fondle the leaves: yes creepy but effective. So if you just watered a succulent with firm leaves and now they are soft you overwatered
And if it’s b been a bit and bottom leaves are soft she is thirsty. However after 24 hours of a watering if lower leaves are softer than before watering she has been overwatered
When I first saw your photo i thought it was pic of mine. Was perdy rough when she came in the mail but seems to be getting better. Had a couple of ucky bottom leaves but we r sprouting newbies so I have high hopes of brighter days for greta.
