# Hey guys, I got the succulent a few weeks ago and had it indoors at…

_Posted by ashleysplantlife on 2025-06-28_

Hey guys, I got the succulent a few weeks ago and had it indoors at first, but it seemed to not be getting enough sunlight so for the past few days I’ve had it outside in my front yard area kind of be beside my front doorstep. It did rain pretty hard yesterday or the day before and we were so busy trying to bring our big plants inside. We totally forgot that one. I’m not sure if the rain did it or too much sun, but the leaves are falling off please someone help.

Did it rain super hard? What direction is it facing? Bcz if you just put it in hot sun without acclimating it 1st then maybe it was to much sun. So it depends on those factors.

I did put it straight from inside to full bright sun 😭 what should I do now?

Looks burned to me 😔

That’s what I was thinking… can I save it somehow?

I would chop it down, the stem should be able to produce more leaves but the ones that are burned will unfortunately stay like that

Fun fact, plants make a chemical that acts as their sunscreen, but if they've been inside a long time they stop producing it because they sense it's a waste of energy. That's why they have to be acclimated to direct sunlight little by little. Hopefully this cutie will bounce back ☺️
