Hi. My succulent isn’t doing very well. I think it’s an insect problem. I’ve killed succulents before, help please!

I don’t see the issue. Are the blurry white bits behind the leaf moving? If so, dab all of them with a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol. They could be mealybugs.

They don’t move—it’s a big bump that just won’t come off unless I scrape it off, which takes a chunk of the leaf out

I not sure what it could be. Upload a better picture. Maybe someone can identify the bumps.

I recently saw something similar. Hoping someone else can comment for both of us ….

I my case, I didn’t take any chances and immediately removed the affected leaves

#### Lulu! (Cactus fam) antwoordde op 2024-05-22

I did that also, it just affected new leaves
