# This was looking great I just reported it about a week ago I think in…

This was looking great I just reported it about a week ago I think in the ocean Forest with tons of perlite IDK if that has anything to do with it but now my plan has dark spots on it and about four leaves fell off and they felt super waterlogged I don't visibly see any pests I don't know if I'm over watering it or if it's some kind of mold and if so how do I treat it 😩🤦

It won't let me edit comments, I definitely need to start proofreading it before I post ducking voice text 🙏🤷‍♀️🤣

Ocean forest is really dense and packed with nutrients. Even with the perlite amendment, I usually find it to be way too heavy for my aroids, let alone little succulents! Considering the substrate, the pot also looks too big for the plant. I would repot into a sandier mix as soon as possible and let those roots breathe.

It's definitely dried out now it definitely seems like the back of the plant exploded with too much water 😩🤦‍♀️
