Can someone tell me what’s going on with my paddle plant? I’ve never seen these spots before! All the leaves are falling off.

Powdery mildew maybe?

From AI: It looks like your friend's plant may be dealing with powdery mildew, a common fungal issue that often appears as white or grayish powdery spots on leaves. Succulents, like the one shown, are sometimes susceptible to this when the environment is too humid or the plant lacks proper air circulation.

Here are a few steps your friend can take to help the plant recover:

1\. \*\*Remove Affected Leaves\*\*: Trim any severely affected leaves to prevent the mildew from spreading further.  
2\. \*\*Improve Air Circulation\*\*: Ensure the plant has good airflow around it. If indoors, moving it to a more open spot might help.  
3\. \*\*Adjust Watering\*\*: Avoid watering the leaves directly, and reduce the frequency of watering if the plant is kept too wet.  
4\. \*\*Apply Fungicide\*\*: Use a natural or commercial fungicide specifically for powdery mildew. Neem oil is a natural option that can be effective.  
5\. \*\*Sunlight\*\*: Ensure the plant is getting enough sunlight but avoid too much direct exposure if the plant is not used to it.

Would you like specific product recommendations or more details on how to apply these remedies?
