# Can anyone please tell me what might be going on with my succulent? I…

_Publicado por Bernie Botanical 🌿 el 2025-07-11_

Can anyone please tell me what might be going on with my succulent? I thought when I bought her that these dark hard spots were from past damage or overwatering at the store, but now I’m a little paranoid that it might be pests. Is this normal for succulents? Any advice would be appreciated!

looks like buildup / callouses to me. you can scrape it off and the exposed area will callous over a bit prettier. may also be mold of some kind on the bottom leaf? does it touch the soil at all?

Oh good! I’ve been worried. Yeah those brown spots on the bottom are where it directly touches the soil. When I found her she was swimming in water and I’ve now let her dry out.

the buildup on the bottom of the leaves may be mildew or mold of some kind. just scrape it off. maybe repot so it sits higher up \& doesn't touch the soil. looks perfectly fine otherwise

Just checked mine and they have a few similar spots. Mine are outside. Probably physical damage.
