My molded wax leaves are yellowing and jelly-like. I originally thought it was overwatered, but the soil is completely dry. Any ideas what’s wrong?

Concern for root rot.

I was afraid of that!

So sad. The same thing happened to me and I swore I wasn’t overwatering. Once it started to get yellow and squishy it was a goner within a few days. The only thing I could think was I must have gotten water in the crown. Sorry ☹️
