Does anyone know why a few of my dwarf gasteria’s leaves have become loose and came out? There’s no brown spots on any of them so I’m not sure what’s going on

    To clarify: they were loose and you pulled them out or you found them outside the pot?

      Yeah they were loose so I pulled them out, which now I don’t think I should have done that

      Word. Just let them be and go back in time and pretend you didn’t notice ha. The thing that looks like a dowel was a three-foot flower that I wouldn’t stop messing with once it withered. I thought I was supposed to remove it - because it was loose - but someone told me stop messing with it. Ps Your plant looks super healthy.

      Want to know what I did after this? I slightly wiggled some of the leaves.

      Haha! It’s almost tempting for me to pull the loose ones out, but I’m refraining to do so

    It could be normal leaf shed. Sometimes the bottom leaves just don’t receive the same amount of energy as the top growth points

      Yes. And the leaves often don’t look ill when this happens.

      Ohh makes sense. Will those leaves that fell off eventually grow roots or would they just die off?

      They’ll just die ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      This is what I thought but hadn’t spent any time looking until now: “Gasteria ‘Little Warty' will produce small offsets, sprouting up around the base of the plant. Simply pull these up and allow the offsets to dry for one to two days before replanting.” Can you tell I’ve been thinking about this post a lot?

    Last comment I promise, but I gotta show you the flower. It grew a few inches one week, and then shot up and up. The flower would point in different directions during the day.

      Wow!! I’m a beginner with plants actually, so I never knew they could flower!! That’s so cool! I have another plant that looks similar to yours. It’s set low in the pot because it fell over and lost some soil
