# What’s going on with my golden sedum? It has these reddish splotches…

_Posted by Jayne on 2023-06-04_

What’s going on with my golden sedum? It has these reddish splotches near the bases of the stems that usually face the window it sits in (recently, though, I’ve been trying to remember to rotate it so each side gets even sunlight). It also has this dry-looking spot on a leaf on the other side. Today, I noticed one of the leaves had fallen off. There’s no way I’m overwatering it; I always let the soil dry out so I water it about every 2 weeks. Am I underwatering it? It’s in a southeast-facing window that stops getting direct sunlight in the early afternoon, so is a lack of sunlight the problem? Please help, I have a bad track record with succulents and I don’t want this one to be my next victim!
