Hi, can someone please help me with my succulent? It needs its leaves for chlorophyll, but they keep dying off and I think once they all fall off, it won’t survive. The pot has no drainage, could that be the issue, that it’s too wet?
It definitely needs drainage

I would go with a terracota pot with a drainage hole. It’s much safer for succulents specially if you are starting out. Good luck!

That should be okay but it’s best to have a hole in the bottom. If it’s a decorative planter I usually keep the plant in its nursery pot and just place that in the decorative planter. Either option would be better than no drainage though!
