How often are you watering I usually water my succulents form the bottom up and let it sit in water for about 15 minutes and an extra 20 minutes if the soil is all not damp. Are you also using succulent / cactus soil?

### Indu kommenterade den 2025-08-04

Yes using cactus soil only. Watering once in 2 weeks. I have this fear of overwatering succulents.

I’d definitely follow what Melody said

Your pot is really cut but I think having no/very little drainage is causing it.

I would repot to a small nursery pot and trim off the dead/dying leaves. Then you can place the nursery pot into your llama.

Thank you. Will try doing that

#### Melody svarade den 2025-08-04

Ok feel free to give updates I hope it gets better soon!

I will say too that I’ve always done well putting my succulents in terracotta.
