I need help! My echevaria topsy turvey isn’t looking too good… the leaves are dying off pretty fast and they’ve spread downwards since I got it. These photos are from the day I got it and now. Can anyone help?

    I need a little more info :) Have you repotted it (if so, what soil do you use/mix?), how often are you watering it, and what kind of light does it get? Is your house cold or warm? It’s most likely an issue with sunlight. Do you have any south facing windows you could place it near? They like really bright light- or you could supplement with a grow light!

      I water it when the soil is dry, I repotted it a few weeks ago into succulent soil, it’s been under a grow light, and my house isn’t very cold or warm, sort of in the middle. It might need more light but I’m not entirely sure

      Give it a a bit more time between watering, and give it a little more light :) that should do the trick. My succulents have always been a bit finicky, but I find they get over watered easily and thrive in as much sun as possible! I sometimes have to use a grow light on my succulents and they’re placed in a south facing window sill! 😂

    It looks like it’s doing ok. Would recommend not watering until the leaves look like little deflated balloons. You might lose more leaves but the growth will be more compact

    What succulent soil did you use? If it’s like miracle grow or a big brand, it may not have enough drainage (I usually mix mine with orchid bark and pearlite). Is it drying out fast?

      It’s in a mixture of orchid bark, potting soil, and perlite. I increased the light and put it under a grow light and the new growth has been more compact and upturned so I think that solved it!
