# I recent was gifted this arrangement, and it was doing well up until…

_Posted by Smiles04 on 2023-07-03_

I recent was gifted this arrangement, and it was doing well up until recently. This succulent (I think) in the back has started dropping a bunch of leaves, but has new growth at the tops. Any ideas as to what could be happening?

Perhaps overcrowding and competing for light?

How much do you water? It’s best to let them dry out completely and then give them a good drowning. Does the pot have drainage holes?

Does your pot have drainage holes? It looks very crowded and I’m not sure if those plants can really survive together long term since they have different needs.
