_Posted by Heather on 2025-05-30_

This plant has been happy for months. I live in Los Angeles where succulents thrive outdoors year round. It’s in a pot near a north-facing wall where it gets a mix of sun and very bright light. Recently the leaves have gotten these black marks. I’m not sure what’s going on. Thoughts or advice?

Maybe check it for pests?
