It’s such a small spike, I can’t tell if it’s squishy or shriveled! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/vvdo_ujtb3Z0veIoueDwRIlPAKI7csw98CwduAQNtNI/BEX8hK7QTySMWT7ZXL6jeg.webp?size=large) ## 12개의 댓글 ### Bee님이 2024-05-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. I don’t know what’s wrong but that lil guy is so cute 😍 ### Alyssa님이 2024-05-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. How long have you had the little guy? #### Terrarimum님이 2024-05-22에 답변했습니다. About a month? Did water it a couple days ago, but didn’t saturate him… still may have been too much? #### Alyssa님이 2024-05-22에 답변했습니다. Hmmm, yeah I’d wait a little longer, water him no more than once a month, I’d do it every other, maybe get a smaller drainage pot for him and a more chunkier soil, I used bonsai jacks cactus succulent mix off of amazon, works like a charm ### PlantedInJunction님이 2024-05-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. It looks like overwatering to me because of where the yellow looks the “worst”. If it was green more towards the bottom and yellow at the top I would assume under watering. ### max님이 2024-05-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. it could be overwatering, it could also be a normal bottom leaf dying off. i would keep it dry for the next little while + remove this one and go from there! ### Shelbop님이 2024-05-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. Succulents will use bottom leaves to survive if they are too dry. They then turn yellow or brown, shrivel and dry up. The plant is healthy. When was it last watered? #### Shelbop님이 2024-05-22에 답변했습니다. It’s a Haworthia Fasciata Concolor #### Terrarimum님이 2024-05-22에 답변했습니다. Couple days ago - I’ll try that, maybe skip the next planta notif! #### Shelbop님이 2024-05-22에 답변했습니다. If you use a wooden skewer to check for soil residue it is a great indicator whether it needs it or not. If planta says water and there is residue just snooze. I have a ton of these guys and they do lose the odd bottom leaf. They are pretty hardy too. Your little guy is a very lovely green. 🥰 ### Alyssa님이 2024-05-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yeah same thing happened to my tiger aloe, I had it for two years and probably only watered it maybe three times, two bottom leaves shriveled up just like that, so I repotted it in a bonsai substrate and water it about once every other month and it’s thriving and being its whacky self lol. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/QbQ6gS3upC_K7i8CKu5vpGZXfwIiYz7vqo1_foYvM4g/cBuIeYaGRUWquO6U2CnoQw.webp?size=large) ### Tianna님이 2024-05-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’d take off the sad little guy and see how it goes!
