# Does anyone know why my stapelia is getting black spots? I moved it…

_Posted by fern on 2024-03-11_

Does anyone know why my stapelia is getting black spots? I moved it from an east-facing window indoors to the west outside, which is almost full sun, and I water it about once a week. Any help will be appreciated

It needs to be in as much sun as you can give it and only water when it’s completely bone dry. It might be an adverse effect of being in part sun and too much watering. Cut back on the watering and see if it improves.

Ok, I'll try that. Thank you!

Thank you for this! I have some baby echeveria and some of the petals are doing that. It is in part shade

It needs full sun - all day, everyday.
