I got this ghost plant a while back and I don’t think I’ve watered it since I got it. am I under watering? too muc/ too little sun?

there is a bunch of nee growth though, is it possible that my plant is just getting rid of the bad leaves to make for new ones?

Could be have you checked for pests

#### Skimbutt replied on 2024-03-17

no, I wasn’t specifically looking for any but I did look around the plant and didn’t see any

Mine does this when I forget to water. Make sure not to water too much as succulents like to be dry

Underwatered. Fully water it until the water runs out the drain holes. Let it completely dry out before watering I again. Don’t let it stay bone dry too long or it will wrinkle and drop leaves.

Ensure it has adequate light and the plant will use the water faster.
