# Hi guys! My Echeveria is acting weird, and I need some help. It’s…

_Posted by Maddie on 2024-08-14_

Hi guys! My Echeveria is acting weird, and I need some help. It’s wilty and soft like it’s underwater but then 2 leaves have turned yellow like it’s been overwatered. It’s under a grow light for 12 hours a day and has been doing great, until now. Should I bottom water it and give it a nice soak? Let me know what you guys think. Any advice appreciated! Thank you!! 😊

looks like it needs to dry out and maybe be closer to the grow light because it’s pretty leggy still

Okay thank you!!

I’ve also found that when my echeverias have gotten leggy, they’ll sometimes kill off a bunch of their bottom leaves. I think that might be happening to those bottom two, not that the plant is under watered. Eatyacarbs had good suggestions, so I second what she said

Awesome, thank you!!!
