I have the same problem. I don’t understand why I can keep my difficult plants alive, but these succulents are supposed to be easy and I can’t keep them alive for the life of me. 🥺😩

More light and grittier soil.

Hi! For these id really recommend you change the pot and be sure you have good draining soil! And it looks a little sunburnt, so try to have her in bright indirect light for a bit! 😊

Thank you so much! Do you have any recommendations for repotting?

#### Mal ha respondido el 2023-09-09

I just recently repotted in a 4” pot with new succulent/cactus blend soil, I’m scared of stressing the plant🥺

I've had a lot of success with plastic pots that have atleast three drainage holes! And i use Miracle grow cactus soil 😊 I nursed one of these babys back to health for my boss a few months ago lol!

Terracotta is best so don’t change the pot. Add around 50% grit to any commercial soil you buy. Also, bring the soil level up. You’re depriving it of light when you plant so far down in the pot.

These are not burnt, they need more light.

The leaves should be compact and pointed up but they aren’t because they need more light.
