What’s happening?? She keeps losing more leaves! I water consistently when the leaves get squishy (I wait about a week after the leaves start to squish a little) but she just doesn’t want to live!! SOS!!

    Is it overwatered? Soil could be retaining too much moisture

      I don’t think it could be that. I also always check the soil before watering.

      Is it a succulent?

      When you check the soil, is the entire pot bone dry? It should be.

      Indeed she is. Sedum clavatum.

      Yes. I poke the chopstick in more than one spot to make sure EVERYTHING is dry.

    How often do you water? Succulents can and should go weeks, even months without watering. The key to succulent success is to forget it exists.

      they should also be in a very chunky/rocky soil mixture. Nothing that holds moisture

    I believe mushy leaves on a succulent indicates over watering. Im currently going through this too with one of mine. 🤧

      Place a paper towel folded a bunch of times under neath the plant. Keep doing that until the paper towel isn't wet anymore. Then put him back where you usually have him for light. Let him dry a little and see if that helps. :)
