I don't see it listed as one of your plants. I was looking to see what care it's been receiving. What lighting is it in? It could be a not enough light issue.

it’s not listed, and i only list my plants to keep track of them. i don’t follow any of plantas watering recs or anything like that. simply just keep it as a log for my stuff. i haven’t added about 15 of my plants yet

What lighting is it in and how often do you fertilize?

#### Katomarose replied on 2025-07-08

They are sensitive to overwatering. So only water when completely dry. You can use a skewer and poke it down into the soil to test how damp it is. Next, succulents really need full sun in order to thrive. So if your growing it inside and it's not directly in front of a south facing window and your not providing supplementary lighting for it, then it isn't recieving enough. Both these issues will cause leaf drop. Then lastly fertilize every second watering during the growing season. That's what has worked best for my cacti and succulents.

Mine started dropping leaves too but I discovered it had powdery mildew. I sprayed Neem oil every week for four weeks but one need it longer than the other. It hasn't been dropping leaves since.
