# Hi all ! I just adopted this succulent. I think it was underwater but…

Hi all !

I just adopted this succulent. I think it was underwater but I’m not sure. It’s very yellow and the « leaves » are falling very easily they seem weak when touching them. Any recommendation?

Thank you very much!!

I would also suspect under watering and/or sun stress. Or possibly overwatering that damaged the roots, which then caused the plant to feel under watered. Those weak leaves won’t really recover. You might think about cutting it back a bit so it’s not working so hard to sustain all of those branches? I’ve found echeveria really easy to propagate from leaves, and I usually get a bunch of new growth from the stems when I cut them back!

It looks a little sun stressed. Only water it when completely dry and then drench it. And then wait to water once it is completely dry again. If those yellow leaves are mushy at all I would remove them. Otherwise just enjoy the beauty.
